No more can I say
the words
I know
you want me to
All those words
you want to hear again
once more
today
Yesterday, the day before
they were what I felt
you needed
But
not
no more, not today.

Let Me Be
August 22, 2024
Let me, let me be
at peace
quiet, silent
not asking anything
Let me, let me be
happy and carefree
Let me be.

The Water Weeps
August 16, 2024
The water weeps to the ground
Soaking all
Saturating a thirsty ground.
Flowers dance between
The raindrops moist
Blooming, sacrificing all
It is their choice.
Clouds thunder
Marching across the sky
No time for plunder
For something in the distance
Has caught their eye.
Now I stand amidst this
I’m part of this
The earth, the wind, the sky
All this happening round
I feel it, feel so profound.

Wish I Knew
August 14, 2024
Wish I knew what
to do
wish I knew what tomorrow
would bring
Wish I knew the best path
to take
Oh how
I wish
Wish I knew.

Not Sure
August 13, 2024
Not sure why
Anything is.
Not sure how
The earth came to be
Nor if it’s existed
More than an eternity.
Not sure why
My heart does pound
When I feel your presence
Next to mine.
Not sure I’ll be here
Laughing, crying with my family
Til the sun sets
On all humanity.
Not sure
Not sure I want to be.

Not Sure, Not Sure Why
August 9, 2024
Not sure, not sure why
the world turns the way it does
clouds stream across the sky
birds sing and cows call.
I stand in the midst of it all
and
I’m not sure
not sure why.

Tortured Souls Come
August 8, 2024
Tortured souls come
then
they go
their breath is putrid
their eyes aglow
screaming voices pierce the air
no quiet
nothing, nothing
I want to share.
I stand here
thinking. . .
Does someone care?

Give Me The Kind Of Strength
July 31, 2024
Oh give me
the kind of strength
you show
I should be
Let me give the love
you do
forgiving
all that transgressed
against thee
I know I haven’t
shame on me
Then
I see you giving all
with no thought
of what may come
to be
I’m in awe
of you
I care, I hold
I love you
Desperately.

The Angel Comes And He Calls
July 10, 2024
The angel comes
and
he calls
the good, the bad, the innocent
them all.
For them to live in blessed harmony
live forever
that ‘s all
The angel comes
and
he calls.

Natural, Age Old Beauty
July 8, 2024
Does anyone
tell of
does anyone see
the beauty
the complexity
of
the world around us?
A world full
of
natural things
like birds, flowers
and
bees.
Never let me
be blind
to what could happen
to all this
all this
natural, age old
beauty.
Let me help protect it
keep it as it
has always been
as it
should always be.
And
Let me not forget
that
I too am part of this
all this
Heaven on earth
This
natural
age old beauty.
