Ideas come
sometimes they flow
then
then sometimes
they stop.
The page is blank
not a thought, not anything
just a slate, a page
that’s clear.
Then
then all of a sudden
they flow
in a rushing, gushing river
that overflows.
What a time, a place to be
for it’s then I know
I have ideas that will grow
and grow and grow.

The sun shines bright
bringing morning
into daylight
birds sing, squirrels fly
looking for feasts
in the clear morning
light.
Nothing could go wrong
nothing could be bad
hoping for the best
in the bright morning
sunlight.

What I’ve seen
is
the best of you
the world
in all
it’s splendour
that’s
what I’ve seen
No anger nor hate
none
of that
is
what I’ve seen
What I’ve seen
is it true
or
would you remind me
that
what I’ve seen
is
just, only
a lovely, recurring dream.

Fill the store
Empty the heart of things vicious
Tearing you apart
Please go
Please depart
Let the sun shine in
The love to flow
The world know you are gentle
All good things fill
Your store and loving heart.

Hoping for
Listening
To
Drops of wisdom
Dripping knowledge
Into
My life.
Up to me
To
Drink deep
This gift
I’ve been given
Too.
Make the best
Going forward
Into
A world I’ve built
And living
Too.

Hear me call
Hear me say
Words of wonder
Everyday.
Given
By the Saviour
Told to me
Today.
To pass on to you
To help us both
Navigate
Our path, our way.

My heart does pump and thump
the core of me
my beating heart.
Onward she goes with no breath taken
alive making no mistakes
my beating heart.
Commanding all with every beat
giving living life while being discreet
my beating heart.
She works in sync without a stop
oh how I need you
my dear beating heart.

I know
I haven’t been
the best mother
daughter, lover
you’ve ever seen.
I tried my best
I did
I did
even thou
it doesn’t seem.
Please forgive
move beyond
to
the best place
we’ve ever been.

I’ve seen a light
to guide me thru the darkest
most treacherous night.
It’s beam radiates truth
love and light
holding my heart, my hand
my sight.
Trusting in it’s glowing light
I make it to the morning
the glorious morning light.

You haven’t seen
nor do you know
the treachery
I can, I will
bestow.
For what reason
frankly
I don’t know.
Bitter
black heart
this
is what I know.
