Tired
Feeling stressed
Will the pleasantries
Ever come back
Be expressed?
Questions asked
Thoughts
Conveyed
Still
I stand here
With
Quietness, calmness
They seem to evade.

The Life I Live
January 4, 2024
Don’t know what
Will become
Of
The life I live.
Will I succumb
To
The world around me
Accept
At all that it offers
All that I need?
I don’t know
What’s to be
But
I do know I can make it
Wonderful, great, most of all
Happy.

In This Day
January 3, 2024
In this day of my life
I see the love
Sweetness, heartache
And
Strife too.
I also see
Wonders that bloom
Bring life
To my world.
I’m surrounded by things
I don’t understand
But
Keep me safe thru this day
I was born to.

Closely, Slowly I Come To You
December 21, 2023
Closely, slowly
I come to you
I feel your breath
Breathing
Breathing on me
All around
you.
I see your eyes looking
Past me
Looking to a future
With
Or
Without me?
I can’t answer
This question
For
You.
I can only answer
I want
Need
To spend
The rest of my life
In this world
With you.

Long, Cold Lonely Night
November 29, 2023
No one holds me close
No one
Holds me tight.
Instead I lay
Alone
Throughout
The long, cold lonely night.
Will there be someone?
Will they love me tender
Hold me close
Hold
Me tight?
I can dream
But
Will it ever be
On
This long, cold lonely night?

No Matter
November 23, 2023
No matter the place
No matter
Where I’ve been
The world remains round
It comes round, around again.
Have I been here before?
Will I come back again?
Questions
Answers only answered
As they come round
Around
Once again.

Let Me Not
November 20, 2023
Let me not hold you close
Let my eyes not see
The beauty in your sweet being
Let me be all alone
Not near
Or
A part of anything.
Then I’ll know
How much I have
Then
I’ll be oh so glad
You’re in my life
I have a life
That’s perfect and mine to live
To have.

No One Will Be
July 6, 2023
No one will be
No one can be
In the same time, place
Ever
Ever as me.
It may be tomorrow
Or
The day after that
I’ll be in heaven
Smiling down
On all this, all that.
Where I’ll be wondering
Why I cared
If no one
was in the same time, place
As me.
Like today
I’ll be wondering
Just wondering all this
And
Of course, all that.

Quietly, Silently
June 14, 2023
Quietly, silently
I move through thee, the mountains, the meadows
So full of such beauty, majesty.
Tomorrow I’ll be in the midst of a stream
Flowing rapidly
Swimming with creatures silently, quietly.
I will fly in the sky
Where birds live, laugh and die
I will be for a while, one of them.
No one will know
No one will be happier, happier than me
Moving quietly, silently.
