Feeling weak
not
strong
Wondering
whatever
could be wrong?
Let this day
move
forward
And
once again
let me feel my strength
Be
strong.

The Howl Of The Monkey
January 26, 2026
The howl
of
the monkey
may
tell me
the things I need
to know
I must listen
quietly
hear those words
that will bestow
answers
to
questions asked
It will be
all
all I need
need to know.

Weep
January 23, 2026
My heart cries
My soul does weep
The heavens have opened up
And
Took my precious one to keep
I cry
I weep and weep.
Wait for me
For
I know when my time comes
I’ll seek to be with you there
No more, no more
To
Weep.

Very Hard
January 22, 2026
It doesn’t come easy
it’s
very hard
Keeping my mouth quiet
taking care
not to say anything
hurtful
demeaning
not
too hard
This is my quandary
this is
my mission
no matter my apprehension
But
still
still it’s very
very hard.

Tell Me More
January 21, 2026
Tell me more
let me see
the beauty, the majesty
all around
and
inside
of
you
inside me.

May All Goodness
January 20, 2026
May
all goodness
come to my life
May
it live within me
my entire life
never gone
til
my last breath’s fight
May
all goodness
exist
wherever life takes
my life.

How Much
January 19, 2026
How much can you take?
How much can you stand?
Where will it end?
Is there
no conscience
no
equality
no line in the sand?
The world awaits your decision
the world hopes your eyes
are
not blinded
by
lies told
again and again.
Hopefully
we’ll stand
together
support one another
as
friends can
When lies
brutality
rise their ugly heads
once more, once again.

I Haven’t Been
January 16, 2026
I haven’t been
As close as I should have been
It seems life has dealt me
a heavy load
A load I think I need to carry.
Please, if you could
Let me see where
I can lay down
All that isn’t necessary.
Giving me
The time, the space
To be the one
You need, I need to be
For an blessed eternity.

Take Away The Sad
January 15, 2026
Take away the sad
the lonely
take them far away
replaced
with
kindness and happiness
Breathe deeply
breathe a long deep breath
For you
see
you are all
that’s needed
to
make your life
the best.

Hold Me
January 14, 2026
Hold me close
let me not see
the anger
all
the wretched happenings
Let me feel
safe
secure in your hold
let me not pass on
any nastiness
or
behold
I ask you
of
this
you so brave
and
so bold
Hold me close
tell me stories of success
generosity
and
kindness
all about to unfold.
