You had me at the start
the start of the morning
the beginning of night.
You were with me
as I traversed treacherous waters
no saviour in sight.
I began to understand
how much I needed you
when all alone
in the middle of a terrible fight.
Now, with you alongside
I go thru the most dangerous times
coming out into
a magnificent, glorious light.

A home is a home
no matter the width, the size
treasured forever
lived in from birth
to the time you die.
Feel the gentle breathing
of timbers and frame
holding strong
in winter winds, torrential rains.
All are welcomed
with love, no despair
come
step into this home.
There you’ll share
laughs, great food
and
a glass of sweet cheer.

I have heard and think
it is to be
a world full of greatness, love
and most of all
beauty.
Let me see this world
let me experience it’s beauty
let me live in peace
and most of all
loving harmony.

Pleasantly helping, pleasantly being
the most my world
my life, myself
can be.
There’s no better one to know
then me
there’s nothing I want, desire
except to be.
The one who loves
cares and sees
beauty in all life and pleasantly being
all I can be.

A hummingbird came to my window
today
not seen since
in the fall
when they all
flew away.
Sweet nectar she’s looking for
needs right away
hovering, looking in
she tells me.
Get it ready!
Get it ready!
Get it ready right away!
The little hummingbird
is
hungry
she’s flown such a distance
from far
far away.
Now needs
some sweet substance
til
all the blooms
are
on display.
A hummingbird came to my window
and
told me all this
just this morning
just today.

I saw a chipmunk sleeping lazily
Enjoying the day
Quietly.

I saw a dog splashing
Playing in the water
All alone.

I saw a deer eat seeds
From my deck
Secretly.

I saw a tree fall
Smashing all.

I saw ants marching across sand
With a leaf in their mouth
They ran.

I saw a dog cry
Mourning the loss of one
Who’d died.

I saw a tree upside down
How could this be?

I saw a bumblebee sip nectar
Quietly.

I saw a fawn cry
Plaintively.

I saw a stingray fly
Majestically.

I saw a crocodile up close
So scary.

I saw life abound
But none, not a soul, no one
Saw me around.

When I look out to sea
I see you looking
looking back over
just at me
The waves roll in
and
back out again
bringing with them
a message from overseas
a message
you sent just for me
In my thoughts I touch your lips
say words of love
then send them
on the wind
over water, overseas
to you with love
just from me.

Lifting up my head
my arms, my heart
seeing all that could be
seeing nothing
that is
empty, lost.
Maybe tomorrow
in the early morning light
all the answers I seek
will be before me
holding me
with unprecedented love
oh so very tight.

The sky is bright
No clouds
In sight
The way is open
Light shows no notion of darkening
This glorious day
I’ll move forward
Positive
Sure my path
Will be straightforward
All obstacles
Moved
Out of my way
On, such a lovely day!
