Comings and goings
Will always be
Bringing good, leaving bad to be
Somewhere
That can’t hurt one lonely soul
Who needs comfort
Love and security.

Comings And Goings
August 15, 2023
We Know We Don’t Know
August 9, 2023
We know we don’t know
Know much of anything
We think we do
We’re sure
Absolutely sure we do.
But
The truth is
It’s not much
At all.
If we look to the skies
The ground beneath our feet
Do we know what’s there
Where it lives, forms and dies?
We don’t know
We really
Really don’t know
Don’t know
Much of anything.
That’s what I think
I think
I don’t know.

Anger Boils
August 8, 2023
Anger boils, seethes deep within
Harbouring frustration
Never to be rectified
Only to
Start all over again.
Piece together the reason why
Look it straight
Straight
In the face, the eye
Don’t deny.
Then let it go
Let it pass
It’ll not be part of you
Unless
Unless you ask.

I Have Seen
July 14, 2023
I have seen you are with me
You have been my sole companion
On this trip, this journey.
Never alone, my heart, my soul
Feel your gentle breath
Breathing.
At peace, I am feeling
Your hand in mine leading
Keeping.

This Morning
July 13, 2023
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.

Very, Very Still
July 11, 2023
Cannot see
Nor
Can I feel
The essence of the world
All seems so
Very, very still.
I wonder why
I ask the question
To the quiet presence
But
Still, still.
Nothing says
The why
Nor can I feel
All is
Very, very still.

No More Today
July 10, 2023
No more
Today.
Tomorrow
Will be
What it turns out
To be.
But
Today, only today
I’ll let it be.
I’ll sit back
And
Enjoy my solitude
My serenity.

No One Tells Me
July 4, 2023
No one tells me
No one says
The words I need to hear
Need inside my brain
My head.
They are out there
They have been said
Just not to me
They still do not live here
Within my body
Within
My questioning head.

Conspiracy
June 30, 2023
Conspiracy comes and flows
Taking breath
Out of control
No one knows who to trust
Where safe lives
Or
Whether the world
As we know it
Will turn to dust.
Conspiracy shows
She has no mercy
Reigning ruthlessly
Laughing at despair
Smirking
At courtesy.
Conspiracy destroys
Undermines
The beauty of innocence
And
Tenderness becomes
An unimaginable crime.

Beauty And Tolerance Are Key
June 29, 2023
Beauty and tolerance are key to me
For a life full
Of
Love and majesty.
Let me
Keep on this path
Let me be in love with life
No matter what comes to be.
