Courting life, fleeing death
Time passes
Taking no regard for
The rest.
Holding close, pushing aside
All things
I love, despise.
In tomorrow
The world may change
Leaving everything
Just the same.

Courting Life, Fleeing Death

May The Sun Shine Bright
December 24, 2020
May the sun shine bright
On the season
May joy and happiness
Be yours tonight.
May your heart be filled
With all things glorious
May you feel love
Tonight.

I Forgot To Remember
November 19, 2020
I forgot to remember
All the things you did to me
I left them in the trash
Garbage
Now to me.
No more will I cry
Remorsefully
No more will I be held
Captive
By those things
You did to me.
My life is better now
The sun shines on a spirit
Free of anger
Love is the feeling
I feel here
Inside of me.

Feeling, Reaching Out, Holding Close
October 20, 2020
Feeling, reaching out, holding close
Not sure what this is all about.
Taste the anger, spit it out
Drink deep love, give it to all
All about.
See the sun rise, breathing life
Into a blue, sweet sky.
Experience the night
Enveloping all in a blanket warm and pure
Kept safe til darkness disappears.
I feel this, I reach out, hold close
For I now know what it’s all about.

I Don’t Know
July 24, 2020
I don’t know
What the heart doesn’t care
Buried in messed up
I sip from a cracked, broken cup
Tears run
My heart weeps
For the love, the mystery
That wasn’t mine
To keep.

Can’t Help But See
June 12, 2020
Can’t help but see
The world living, unfolding
As it should be.
Can’t help but feel
The soft and gentle caring
Beneath my feet.
Can’t help but hear
A song of love
Filling each of my ears.
Can’t help but live
A life full of harmony
Can’t help but see all this, around me.

You gave me love
I gave back to thee
Love
Love unconditionally.

I Fear My Heart Will Sink
October 24, 2019
I fear my heart will sink
Deep beneath all those things
That
Run my world
Bringing morning sun
And everything.
Then
Will I still be able
To laugh, cry and see
Moon beams streaming
Love
Filled with ecstasy?

I Have Found
September 26, 2019
I have found
My life abounds
With great and grandeur things
If I stay my breath
And listen
To all that brings me joy
Love
And lovely earthly things.

Raining Down
September 12, 2019
The full and caring heart
Waits to hear
The sound of love
Raining down.
No drip, drop of seething hate
No frustration, anger
Making lonely roads
Seem so long.
Just love and caring
Gentle kindness freely given
No strings attached
No ‘What if’s’
None of that.
All we see, all we feel
Is loving
Caring, pleasant thoughts
Raining Down.
