I cope
with
what I have
I live with
that
that I know
I needn’t
worry
about tomorrow
or
even care
if it doesn’t show
I will exist
I will
grow
no matter
what happens
This is all I need to know.

In The Beginning
December 19, 2025
In the beginning
And
The end
Life moves forward
Not waiting for
Amen
No one laughs or curses
No one needs to
For
In the beginning
We’re learning
And
At the end
We’ve done all
We need to
We’re
At the end.

Still
December 18, 2025
Catching my breath
standing
Still
Hoping with all my heart
you love me
Still
I know I’ve done wrong
I know
I’ve said things uncalled for
I know
but
Still
I need you
in
my life
I need to hear your laugh
I need to know
you’re there beside me
Still.

Grievous Things
December 17, 2025
I am angry
I feel my muscles tighten
thinking thoughts
of
grievous things
I really
rather not.

Morning Doves
December 16, 2025
Morning doves
are
such gentle folk
they don’t yell or scream
like
Blue Jays
cry
No, they simply
silently
move across the quiet sky
cooing softly
as
they sit
side-by-side.
I hope
I can be
like
a morning dove
kind and gentle
full
of
quiet love.

Sweet Nectar
December 5, 2025
Nobody tastes
The sweet nectar of love
And
Wants no more.

The Course
December 4, 2025
The course
is level
The ground
even
Some move faster
better
than others
Can you tell me
What
is
the reason?

Tomorrow
December 2, 2025
Take me thru
to
tomorrow
let me hear
words
not filled
with
deep sorrow
See creatures
all
big or small
living life
beside of us
no anger
harmony that’s
all
Take me
to
this tomorrow
let me lie
in
kindness, happiness
all day
every hour
well beyond
that
tomorrow.

You Haven’t Been
November 25, 2025
I know
you haven’t been
all
I want you to be
But
Have I been
all
you need
all you seek?
Likely not I feel
I see
I think.

Constantly In The Morning
November 24, 2025
Constantly
in
the morning
Totally
all
the day
I’ll move forward
singing praises
for
those
that made
it
this way.
