Not this morning
not today
will I be a victim
of
Yesterday

Don’t Let Me Say
December 5, 2023
Don’t let me say
The words I don’t want to hear
Please let me speak the words
That’ll guide me away
Far away from here.
Let me do
What needs to be done
Let it be something beautiful
And nothing
I would want undone.
That is all I ask
That is all I can do
Let me be happy
With these words, these things
I will, I can do.

Kaboom, Kaboom
December 1, 2023
Quietly, softly the breath intakes
listening
to the heart
explodiate
Kaboom, Kaboom
The legs take their feet for a walk
while
the arms hold close the hands
caressing the softness
of love
seen by the eyes
as
the ears listen
to
the quiet heart
go
Kaboom, Kaboom.

No More To See
November 30, 2023
No more to see
To feel
My heart is full
Loaded with sweet, kind
Tender thoughts
That’ll carry me through
Whatever happens
Whatever
My arms embrace
My mind has captured, caught.

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?

The World Will Still Spin
November 28, 2023
When I’m here
Then
When I’m gone.
The world will still spin
Birds sing songs
Grass turn green
And
Rivers flow.
Even if I’m gone
The world still turns
It spins
Still spins around.

Sometimes Things Get Old
November 21, 2023
Sometimes
Things get old and stale
Sometimes
We wonder what ever
Will prevail
But then
Without a trace
The world comes into focus
We feel blessed
We feel as if nothing ever
Could be wrong
All is new, shiny
And
So very strong,

No One Sees
November 14, 2023
No one in the world
Sees the countryside, the sky
Others in my journey
Exactly
Just like me.
They see a different world
They don’t see
What my eyes experience
No
Not just like me.
But then
I don’t see the countryside, the sky
Others on this journey
Exactly as they do
No where near
What they do see.

Show Me
November 13, 2023
Show me
When
I must be sad, lonely
Not happy
Tell me if I’ve made
A mistake
Took for granted a kind gesture
A sweet refrain
For
If I have
If I’ve been callous, miserable
unforgiving
Then let me know
Let me see
A better way
And
Be a happy, giving
Carefree person
Who loves with no mistakes.

Feeling The Heart Pound
November 10, 2023
Feeling the heart pound
Listen
Listen to that sound.
Life is given, taken away
Only the heart moving
Signifies life breathes
We live
We live today.
