Hold them close
and
very tight
Feel your breath
breathe love
in the morning light
Let no soul travel
the path taken
all alone
No, never
never alone.

Hold Them Close

Me
August 8, 2025
After deep soul searching
Searching deep
Within
The depth of
Me
I found
Found I could be
The one
The one and only one
The only one of
Me.

The Answer
August 1, 2025
Already heard
the answer
Made my decision
right or wrong
Will believe
in
that answer
Made clear
and
so profound.

Stranger Than Fiction
July 25, 2025
Stranger than fiction
Stronger than life
Accepting all visions
Making no fight.
Believing in heaven
The devil and hell
Make no correction
It’ll turn out so well.

I See The Beauty
July 18, 2025
I see the beauty
The magnificence
In all the land.
As I stand in awe of all
She reaches down
She touches me
She touches all.
She understands.

They Thought I Was Crazy
July 11, 2025
They thought
I was crazy
they thought I was nuts
I heard laughter, jeering
silence
smirks that did suck.
From there I went forward
farther than most
believing in my worth
holding tight to that dream
I brought to fruition
this life
I hold close.

Working Hard
July 4, 2025
Working hard
But seem stuck in debris
Struggling, attempting
Fighting
To get free.
Is help on the way
Or
Am I by myself
Can I pull it off
Sit back, relax
Harbouring no doubt?
This I hope, I do pray
But as of now
I’m stuck
In
Disaster’s stinking muck.

I Have Seen
June 27, 2025
I have seen
I haven’t been
the one you want
this I know
I haven’t been.
Days go by
nights seem
to melt into nothingness
where nothing lives
nothings been.
Still you’re on my mind
and I have seen
there’s a chance
you’ve heard my voice
you’ve seen.
I’m here
I live, I love
I am
a human being.

Hear The Bells
June 20, 2025
Hear the bells
ring
their melancholy sound
Ringing, ringing
Throughout the valley
and
mountains all around
Sending messages, greetings
and words of sadness
so profound
Hear the bells
ringing
Ringing, ringing
Listen
listen to their sound.

Enough
June 13, 2025
More
is
never enough
All
is the trouble with
not enough
Figuring
it out, making sure
I know
what I need, what I have
and
that it’s always
just enough.
