A robin lays a thousand eggs
only some come to fruition
Optimistic, she builds again
this time, she’s sure
she’ll see a thousand grow
Fulfilling her ambition.

Terrible Things Do Happen
July 15, 2021
Terrible things do happen
Terrible things do come to pass
How we handle
Treat them
Is
Lighting in a bottle
We have to acknowledge
Move pass.

A Life Full
July 14, 2021
No one lives a life full of anger, strife
nor
do they live in unprecedented peace
a nondescript life.
Somewhere between, somewhere
we live
our own beautiful
personal life.

Tic Tock Of The Clock
July 6, 2021
The tic tock of the clock
goes on and on
holding me captive
with its sound.
The night is dark
the stars hidden away
still the clock ticks
ticks all thru the night
into day.
The pendulum swings
sounding on each hour
each day
signalling time passing
life drifting away.
With each tic
tic tock
my heart beats
beats to the rhythm
of that ticking clock.

I’ve Heard The Sound
June 30, 2021
I’ve heard the sound of the earth
Rocking too and fro
Even thou she doesn’t make a sound
I know the earth is there
I know her heart spins
Round and round
But still
She quietly stands
Stands still for me
I am
On solid ground.

Hope

Hope is eternal
Hope is strength
Take all good things that come your way
Hoping
Believing in a better day.

You Heard Me Call
June 24, 2021
You heard me call
I didn’t say words needed
Not yesterday.
All was lonely, all was not right
You heard me call but turned away.
Words stung, they torn away
A facade built up way before today.
You heard me call and laughed away
The sights envisioned for tomorrow
Created just today.
I have stopped, I call no more
For words must be by someone else
It’s not my work, not anymore.

I Seek And Find
June 23, 2021
I seek and find
A world full of happiness
Wonder
There I find.
No sorrow, sobs
Cries of destitute
Nor does anger find a place
To prey.
For in this world of magnitude
My heart’s taken away
My soul alive
Oh, how beauty thrives.

Time Gone Bye
June 16, 2021I sit here and write
Of a time gone bye
Of a time when laughter
Reached
Hit the sky.
When smiles
Were all you needed
To be
To be happy and carefree.
But that time has passed
That time has gone
The world is dark
Sorrow
Misery all around.
Maybe tomorrow
A time will come
Full of laughter
Happiness
All good things to come.
I will live there
I will survive
I will taste good times
They’ll be mine once again
Soon and in
The sweet bye and bye.

Sweet Sorrow in your passing Shirley

Sleepy Tired
June 11, 2021
Sleepy tired
Worry wakes me in the night
Toss turn
Feeling no sleep
As anguish plays on my sleepless stage
In a darkness with no saving light.
Maybe in the morning
All will be clear
A path opening up, a way from here to there
But tonight greeted with only so many questions
Keeping me sleepy tired
In a dim, dark hopeless night.
