Trying to see my way thru
My destiny
Where will I go?
Where will I be?
Can I make it through?
Will you be there with me?
Questions – No answers
So I guess
I’ll just have to begin
Living and see.

Trying To See

Sadness Streams Down My Face
October 13, 2023
Sadness streams down my face
Dreams
Remembered of another place
Trying to correct wrongs done
In that other time, that other place
No help
Can be strong enough
No help to carry me away
From that sad, sad place
Today.

My Sweet Coffee
October 12, 2023
Coffee is the one
I love
The one I need
Nearby me
In the morning
He wakes, lets me see
The beauty in the world
It’s majesty.
Then at night he’s there
Beside of me
Breathing quietly, snoring
Oh so gently.
No bad dreams
Disrupt my sleep
For
He’s at guard, he protects me.
My sweet coffee
Is
The one I love
The one I need
And I will
For all of eternity.

I have been working on the art for my 2024 Art & Affirmation Calendar.
Coffee is the 4th in the series of paintings.
I knew Coffee and his folks and it has been very personal for me working on this painting.
Coffee passed away last year and is solely missed by all his family.
The above poem was written for them.

Tender Mercies
October 11, 2023
Tender mercies sweet and gentle
Lead me down
The path of quietness
Overhearing no call of dread
Just
The thumping of my beating heart
Beating love
Instead.

My Birthday Is Today
October 10, 2023
My Birthday is today
My thoughts are far away
Back to the day past
When I laughed, laughed
And
Laughed with my friends
Celebrating life
Happiness and loving care
Happy Birthday
To you all even if it’s not
Your Birthday!

The World Is Round
October 6, 2023
I have found
The world is round
What is done comes back
Comes back around
So don’t make it bad
Don’t make anyone sad
Cause back
It comes back around.
Make it happy
Carefree, filled with joy
Then when it comes back
Comes back around
Your soul will know
Truly
The world is round.

Let Me
October 5, 2023
Let me not
Be the one who does
Wrong
Let me see the way through
Filled with joy, ecstasy
No harm
Let me not
Cry, weep nor wail
Let me be
Happy far into day’s final ending
Night’s gentle passing
Let me tell
Only sweet tales.

You Have Been The Best
October 4, 2023
You have been
The best you can to me
I appreciate your love
Your honesty
May we be arm in arm
Together
As we travel through time
From now
To eternity’s distant place
Distant time.

Holding In My Heart
October 3, 2023
Holding in my heart
All the love you could depart
Making me feel so loved
So strong.
There is nothing
I can’t do
Nothing I can’t be.
I know whatever
Comes my way
Won’t be wrong for me.

Holding On, Holding Tight
September 28, 2023
Holding on, holding tight
Throughout the dark, scary night
No remorse, no justifying
Just being there
Feeling feelings of despair
Knowing in my heart
I will survive.
In the morning once again
Come alive
Live the day in happiness
Breathe breath of gladness
Preparing for the night
Gathering round
Holding on, holding tight
This is
Has become my life.
