Not sure, not sure why
the world turns the way it does
clouds stream across the sky
birds sing and cows call.
I stand in the midst of it all
and
I’m not sure
not sure why.

Not Sure, Not Sure Why
August 9, 2024
No Matter What
August 2, 2024
No matter what
The earth turns
bringing light and warmth
on a summer day.
No matter what
Filling oceans up
creating life in the water
dirt and the sky.
No matter what
She moves
speaking words of love
heard by those quiet enough
No matter what.

No More To Say
August 1, 2024
No more to say
nothing
else to do
sitting, relaxing
watching everything
I need to be reality
Come true.

Give Me The Kind Of Strength
July 31, 2024
Oh give me
the kind of strength
you show
I should be
Let me give the love
you do
forgiving
all that transgressed
against thee
I know I haven’t
shame on me
Then
I see you giving all
with no thought
of what may come
to be
I’m in awe
of you
I care, I hold
I love you
Desperately.

On The Other Side, Sliding Down
July 26, 2024
On the other side, sliding down
The slippery slope
Laughing, crying I turn round
Hope the way is clear
The path won’t steer me wrong
On the other side, sliding down.

Those Words
July 25, 2024
Cringe to think, to say
Those words
Forming in my mouth
Just today.
What do they mean?
What do they say
About me
My life and happenings
From
Yesterday?
I’ll keep them safe, tucked away
Till I figure out
What they mean
What they’re trying to tell me
Trying to say.

Unacceptable, Acceptable
July 24, 2024
Totally unacceptable
Totally
Not what I want
The question though
is. . .
What do I really want?
Something acceptable
Something that makes me happy
Something that
I want.
Makes me get up in the morning
Sleep
Restful in the night.
Yes
That’s definitely
Definitely what I want.

No More Can I See
July 23, 2024
No more can I see
You loving me
Holding me, protecting me.
No more can I see
This happening with you
To me.
I thought our lives
Would be
Intertwined forever
Forever into eternity
But
No more, no more
Can it, will it be.

To Know
July 22, 2024
Can I see?
Be what I want to be?
Know the path to go?
Can I bypass the treacherous
Not
What I need to see
To know?
The answer is mine
To say, to see
To know.
For it’s all there
And that’s
That is what I know.

I Have Done What I Need To Do
July 19, 2024
I have done what I need to do
No one else can make
This journey for me
Neither he, she or you.
My heart aches
That you don’t know
This to be true.
But then what do I know
About your journey
That journey, like my journey
You’re travelling too.
