You have known
I can see
All the beauty, loveliness surrounding us
Surrounding me
In the morning
Tomorrow
Will it be the same
Will we see
All this magnificence
This majesty?

You Have Known
June 19, 2023
Keep Them Secret
June 16, 2023
I mustn’t tell
The things I know
Keep them secret
No one else
Should ever know.
Let them be
Secrets known only
To me
Don’t let the world see
These secrets
I keep inside of me.

You Don’t Know
June 15, 2023
You don’t know
Nor
Have you seen
The answers to all
All that lives
Has been.
Neither
Have I
None have seen
But
No matter.
We continue on
We trust we’ll know
When
The time is right
The hour has been.

Quietly, Silently
June 14, 2023
Quietly, silently
I move through thee, the mountains, the meadows
So full of such beauty, majesty.
Tomorrow I’ll be in the midst of a stream
Flowing rapidly
Swimming with creatures silently, quietly.
I will fly in the sky
Where birds live, laugh and die
I will be for a while, one of them.
No one will know
No one will be happier, happier than me
Moving quietly, silently.

Love Is All We Need
June 12, 2023
Love
Is all we need
Love turns the world
The galaxy
Don’t
Turn away from it
Don’t be all
Alone
When love is there
Giving
Giving willingly
It’s all you need.

A Wall Of Many Trees Stand
June 2, 2023
A wall of many trees stand
Stand in front of me
There may be a way
Around
Squeezing thru, in-between.
Many trees stand
Protecting me
From what dwells beyond
Unforeseen.
Canopy overtop, shading
Letting only a few rays
Of burning sun thru
To drop.
Taking the impact
Of a lightning strike
Hear the thunder crash
As a mighty tree falls
Out of sight.
Little ones will take its place
Loved
Nurtured by large ones
Standing, guarding, protecting
In this place.
As full circle round
Does nature go
Where many trees stand
Like a wall
All in a row.

I Saw A Firefly
June 1, 2023
Last night I saw a firefly
it lit up
the whole damn sky.
Yes, last night
a tiny fly radiated light
made
a bit of darkness bright.
Last night when I saw a firefly.

I Have Heard
May 31, 2023
I have heard
and
know
I have to be
the sweetest person
I ever can be.
Why?
you ask
Why
this has to be?
Cause the Creator
says
this is best for the world
and
of course
little
old me.

There Isn’t Any Time
May 30, 2023
There isn’t any time
To
Make it right
No time to turn around
An ongoing blight.
Let the world know
Let it be said
You stood your ground
You did what had to be done
Had to be said.

What I Think And What I Tell
May 29, 2023
What I think
And
What I tell
Big difference
I’m sure
You as well.
Somethings are meant
To be left in the dark
Not spoken of
Not given a chance
To step out
And
Stomp on
A frail, fragile heart
