By living
in
the past
You have no future.

May
April 24, 2026
May the trees survive winter
Blossom in the spring
Sending forth life
Giving all, nourishing.
May the sun rise in the morning
Rest asleep at night
To come up the next morning
Bringing warmth, love
And fields of waving buttercup delight.
May the seeds dropped in fall
Spring, rise, growing tall
Spreading roots out for nourishment
Leaves reaching up, growing
Til the fall.
May the wind blow breezes
Both strong or gentle
And then not at all.
May they bring on currents
Moisture, rain to quench
The thirst of everyone
Everyone, everything and all.
May, may we live
May we live us all.

Close By And Very Close
April 23, 2026
Close by
and
very close
the world seems
to fly by
We watch it go
wondering
should we be
onboard
or
just let it ride
let it go?

The Merry-Go-Round
April 15, 2026
Round, round
the merry-go-round
we go.
Not a thought
in
the world
just round
round
the merry
the merry-go-round.

The Hope
April 9, 2026
The hope I had
the hope
I say
will take me thru
this day, all days.
I don’t
have to say
a word out loud
or
think the feeling
but
send it
up to the clouds
where rain will bring it
down
upon all creatures
big and small
giving hope
to today
and
forever to us all.

Keep Me Whole, Keep me Sane
April 8, 2026
Keep me whole
keep me
sane
all the rest I’ll handle
as
I pass down the road
to
the lane.
I may
not
know everything
I may
be
just a little spoke
in
all the world’s happenings.
This I know
but
if
you keep me whole
keep
me sane
I’m positive
I can do almost anything.

When I Look Back
March 30, 2026
When
I look back
I see a life so different
so not
the present me
My heart
beats
my eyes see
but
not the way
the way it use to be
Maybe
I’ve grown
maybe I’ve lived
different lives
from an enfant
to
that young girl
oh so lost, asking why
Then
I seen my life
my existence
in a frame
of nature’s beauty
full of kindness
and
singing so sweet
It became the basis
of
how I live
how
I enjoy and love
Letting go
of
anger
sadness so bleak
those things lived
back there
in
yesterday
Those things I now do not seek.

St Pat’s Day
March 17, 2026
St Pat’s Day
is
special
in
a multitude of ways.
The snakes left
shamrocks blew in the breeze
while
elves and fairies
did as they pleased.
All the rest danced
a jig
in the green grass
under
restless trees.

Peace And Quiet
March 9, 2026
Peace and quiet
is
what I get
with
sounds of silence
I won’t forget.
Moving softly
beneath the sky
looking
trying my best
not to cry.
For above
and
all around me
beauty reigns
not speaking
anything.
Yet
clearly
I hear a sweet refrain
echoing, echoing
all through
this magnificent terrain.

Tired Of Angry
March 5, 2026
Tired of angry
sick
of
hate.
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll go down
to
the shore
sit and wait
for
the waves
to wash in goodness
so
pure
so great.
Never again
to
be lost
in
the wilderness
of
someone
else’s demented hate.
