Sweet Water Greets
April 29, 2015
Sweet water greets those flying from the south
A long time since said goodbye
Now spring beckons them to our house
Heavy, sweet ruffled feathers
Shook out to contain some heat
Refilled from drinking that that’s sweet.
Tiny and big spring flowers bloom
Holding up their coloured petals
To the sun and to the moon
Sweet nectar deep inside
Lavish feast for who knows where it resides
Hovering there in spring.
Welcome back my little summer friends
Who harrow spring and winter’s end
Let summer too be about to begin
Trust your journey was a easy ride
On currents blowing up
On south’s humid tide.
We’ll share the warm summer’s breeze
You’ll drink sweet water
Til leaves begin to fall
Then on currents you’ll fly away
Drinking sweet water on your way
Back to a warm, south southern day.

What Has Happened?
January 7, 2015
What has happened?
What will be today?
No one telling’
Just moving, moving on their way.
Couldn’t hear directions
Couldn’t see the way
Couldn’t, couldn’t remember my journey
From that other day.
Must trust the Master
Must believe, believe he’ll guide me
On this that is
My journey’s way.

Travelling Down A No Return Road
October 3, 2013
Travelling down a no return road
Going forward pass signs
On this winding, bending road
That tell me what’s ahead
Sometimes full of anticipation
Sometimes only dread.
Going forward
Not looking back
Not using a rearview mirror
To see behind
There’s no use in using that.
On the side of this my road
I’m passing beauty there
Just up to me to behold.
My salvation
May be at the end
Of this my own long road
But the journey to that place
Is up to me to unfold.

You Are On My Journey
June 28, 2013
You are on my journey
I’m on your path
The way, it wanders but I can see
There is no more wrath.
Quiet acceptance
Honouring you, honouring me
Moving on into each our destinys.
I am on your path
You are on my road
We pass by smiling full with love
Wondering what life does hold.
Bide your time
I’ll let it be
A wondrous world spreading out
In front of thee.

This Is It
June 11, 2013
This is it
This is as good as it gets.
I’m here to tell you
That for all of us
It is as good as
We want it to be
Nothing changes
Unless you want it
Garner from
Your loss and the bad
A magnificence
Unsurpassed
Yes you can do what
No one else ever has
Journey to your centre
Find the place
You really are
From there go out
And spread your glory
Near
And there so far.

My Journey Is Not Over
December 18, 2012My journey is not over
Yet.
More things to learn
And forget.
Special
Is the time we have
In this life we love.
Never
Ever will forget
All the people, friends
I’ve met.
Journeying on a path
Filled with no regrets
Only love.

We live for a reason.
To find that reason is our life’s journey.

Faze The Feelings
June 29, 2012Faze the feelings cope and see
Journey harrowing not to be.
Steady, steadfast stand your ground
Bend to no one let them sound
All their misery way back down.
People cope, people be
The best they can
In spite of a misguided destiny.
