When I think
Of all the things
That have disappeared
Gone away
Happened yesterday
My heart joins forces
With my soul
To help me understand
Why it all had to go away
Yesterday.

Thee
May 21, 2021
Delicately
I embrace thee
Softly
I caress thee
While with my whole heart
I unconditionally
Love thee.

Cold And Freezing Rain
May 14, 2021
Cold and freezing rain
Falls from the sky
Falls
Taking no blame.
Only pours it’s heart out
Letting drops fall
Again and again
In cold, freezing rain.

Writing Comes Easy

Writing comes easy
It’s the meaning that is hard.

We Keep Secrets
April 30, 2021
We keep secrets
We hold them tight
Never exposed
To see the morning light.
We keep secrets
Silent, secretive
They speak not a word
Sometimes to the grave
They’re carried, never heard.
We keep secrets
Untold secrets
We grasp them tight
Feeling the burden
The weight not light.

Butterfly Flutters
April 23, 2021
Butterfly flutters
Breathing in sunlight
Going from left
To right
Landing on a flower
That feeds just right.
Beauty encompasses
Wings in flight
Staying still
Only a second
To take a taste
Of the drink of life.

See The Rings
April 16, 2021
See the rings
The rings of life
See them circle
Bringing
Embracing life
Different colours
Different lines
Going round
Since
The beginning of time.

Old Lady
April 9, 2021
When I look in the mirror
I see an old lady
Starring at me.
I agonize over
Whether she
Really likes me.
Does she think
Me silly
I can’t see.
But so want to tell her
I’m happy
She got to be an old lady
Just like me!

Another Day Not The Same
March 26, 2021
Another day not the same
A cloud, a veil
Lifted
Now I see my terrain.
All is clear
My purpose, my direction
My refrain.
I sing and live
What gives me satisfaction
Gives me
A life to live.

Sunset
March 19, 2021
Sun goes down
Into the evening sky
Leaving the moon to reflect it’s light
Into the water deep and blue
Turning it golden
Blood red too.
All is quiet in the evening sky
Birds ponder the reason why
As the sun now sinks
Beneath the ocean blue
Refreshing itself in waters deep, dark
Purely quiet too
