Can
I be vain?
Laugh
and
show distain
for that
which I don’t appreciate?
Would I be judged
and
found to be a shallow
miserable entity?
Can
I afford to be?

Can I Be Vain
September 28, 2022
Seek Then You Shall Find
September 15, 2022
Seek
Then you shall find
Hidden treasures
Most divine.
Where
Did they come from
When
Did they arrive?
Is the secret
The answer
You need to answer
To surmise.

Why Bother
September 13, 2022
Why bother
To be in the midst of anxiety
To dwell
Within destitution?
Makes no sense
To me.
Be free to see
Feel
The joys of happiness
The heights of ecstasy.
It’s a choice to be
A decision
made by you, by me
Let it be.

Power My Life
September 12, 2022
Power my life
To be the best
The best
I can be.
Let no secrets keep me
From being that one
I want
Need to be.
Let joy soar
Singing far above
And
Around my head.
I see what I’m capable of
All I need
All
I want to be.

Terrible Things
September 8, 2022
Terrible things have happened
Terrible things
Terrible things live
Exist.
We must live
Trying
Not to harbour
But
Eliminate
Those terrible things.
Not hear, feel
Allow
Those awful
Awful
Terrible things.

Don’t Fear
September 2, 2022
Don’t fear the light
Nor the darkness in the dead of night
They will all embrace you
Lead you
With a guiding light.

Can’t See
September 1, 2022
Can’t see where I’m going
nor
where I’ve been
the road is rough
too many bends
for me.
Will I come
out to the open?
See the path before me
gently sloping
to a valley full of fun
no sadness nor depression
so deep.
Hopefully
this is what I’ll see
will be.

The Sun Shines Bright
August 26, 2022
The sun shines bright
Mists have blended
Into the water beyond
No one sees bees
No bats fly
In the expanse that surrounds
Nor does anyone hear
The cry
They’re gone, they’re gone
I rest, I sleep
Maybe there I’ll see
And
Seek a world that once here
Belonged.

Hear The Bells Ring
August 25, 2022
Hear the bells ring
Some birds sing
While chimes announce
The coming of daylight
In the early morning spring.
All is right
All will be as nature
Deems it to be
Far into the quiet darkness
Of night’s fading light.

Heaven Helps
August 24, 2022
Heaven helps
heaven waits to save
comfort when you fall
when your heart sinks
and no one comes
even if you ask, you cry
you call.
Heaven stands strong
stands tall
reaching down, lifting up
saving you, giving
asking nothing back
nothing at all.
