Feeling the weight
The pain of
What if
No eye dry as I wonder
What if
I’d done things different
Smiled instead of cried
No answers
Just more questions and insistent
What if’s.

What If
May 6, 2020
Shinning Sun In The Sky
May 5, 2020
Shining sun in the sky
Questions answered
Reasons why
The world is well
Giving all she can
No one cries
Tears of rain
Only ones that fall
Nourishing land
Creatures big and small.
I will live in this life
Feeling the sun’s warmth
Now
And into my afterlife.

Secrets Are Kept Hidden
April 30, 2020
Secrets are kept hidden in the dark
Secreted away in the back of the mind
Never to be revealed to the morning sun
Or voiced
In the depth of the darkest night.
To the grave they are taken
To the grave they will go
Eternity will keep them secret
No one
No one will ever know.

Beauty Is What I Behold
April 27, 2020
Beauty is what I behold
When looking out
Onto the board expanse
Nothing but beauty to behold.
My eyes see fields, meadows
Hills and lovely valleys
Where creatures big and small
Live, loving all.
As I lay my head down tonight
I’ll once again
Behold these images of beauty
In vivid dreams throughout
This, my sleeping night.

Functioning On A Level
April 23, 2020
Functioning on a level
That will succeed
No need to look back
Nor to the side
For me.
Forward is the way
To go
Bringing with me
Those I love
And most of all
I need.

No One Speaks
April 22, 2020
No one speaks
No one says
The words that will condemn
The dead
To a life lived in after death
Of misery. anger
No justice.
Instead hands hold out
Gentle love
Make the world a happy place
Make the universe
A living, breathing
Wondrous space.
Where hearts are held
Close with care
No one dies
They live forever
In our hearts
In a heaven
Made right here.

No Hope Looms
April 21, 2020
No hope looms
No way to stay
Near heaven’s breath
All seems lost
Forever
Gone away.
Then storm clouds break
Heavens open, shining bright
All worries lift, they have gone
Now
My soul is heaven bound.

Let Me Know Your Answer
April 16, 2020
Let me know your answer
Way before the question’s asked
Know the infinite
Hasn’t questioned, hasn’t asked
For she already knows
She has made it come to pass.

Hold Heaven Up Tonight
April 14, 2020
Hold heaven up tonight
See
The sparkle in
The dark night light
Follow
A shooting star
Race
Across the sky
Know
Heaven exists there
And
Within you and I.

Looking Forward, Looking Back
April 13, 2020
Looking forward, looking back
Living in the present
Trying to keep on track.
No breath is taken lightly
No heartache will
Keep me back.
Living on the precipice
Yet staying on
That beaten path.
