No more
can I say
those words
you want to hear.
No more, no more
will I do
as
you ask.
No more
will I be the one
that
safe place for you.
No more, no more
I say.
But…
Will I do?

Seeking answers
Trying to find
My way through
The sadness
I feel here in my mind.
Rain cries tears
From
My mournful eyes
My lips form words
I hope won’t make me cry.
And my feet
My feet run
As fast as they can
From the hurt, anger
I know, I feel
I have.
The only thing left
Is for me to abide
Hopefully tomorrow
The sun will shine
And
The only blue
will be in the skies.

Hoping
you’re okay
the world’s badness
has left
passed by
today.
I hope
quietly you rest
savouring all
that
comes your way.
I hope
you are well
basking in the sunset
clouds blowing
all your cares
away.
I hope
kindness, love
are present in your life
your day.
I just
hope
you’re okay.

This morning comes alive
Breathing new life
In the day
The moment
Throughout all waking hours
To
Evening night.
Never speaking
Of
What must be done
What should be
Left behind.
Only moving through
The day
Bringing everything
To evening
Where to rest, sleep
In the quiet
Peaceful night.

Curled up
and
fast asleep
I think not
you will weep
when you wake
and
see the sky
filled with wonder
it’ll make you try
to be
your best
to be the one
that gently wakes
others
to
this wondrous morning sky
embracing all
no one
left behind
no one will feel alone
or
will they cry.
This I think
as
I watch you
curled up
and
fast asleep.
