Follow your heart. Take your time
You have a lifetime.

I Know You Haven’t Seen
August 19, 2019
I know you haven’t seen
The world I see
Know you most likely
Don’t really care.
But to me, it’s everything
It’s my world, my life
My very being
I live it everyday
I wake up wondering
What the universe
Will bring me today.
Will I laugh, will I cry
Or just be silent as I watch
This world come
Take me on a journey
You’ll never see
It’s mine
It belongs only, to me.

I Want
August 12, 2019
I don’t want
To talk about bad things to come
Not about people
Who have succumb to treacherous lives
No weeping
Wailing can disguise.
No, I want
To talk about how my heart soars
My voice roars the beauty of things
And the gentle kindness
A good heart brings.
These,
These are the things
I want to hold
These are the things
I want to be told.

Terrible Times Do Happen
August 8, 2019
Terrible times do happen
They wind around time
Twisting, turning
Making taking a breath
Seem like a crime.
But they will pass
The sun will shine
The sky beam a cerulean blue
Pouring rain washing away
Terrible times residue.

Sacrifice
August 7, 2019
Sacrifice is what we do
Sometimes it’s good
Sometimes we should just
Press ‘undo’.
Your heart knows
What’s best to do
What’s best for you.
Listen quietly
Listen loud
It’ll always bring you
Thru.

Crises Come
July 31, 2019
Crises come
Monopolizing the mind
The spirit
Everything in the universe
Anything
Not tied down tight.
What has happened?
Why?
No answers come
Questions only
They hang in the frigid, cold
Unforgiving sky.
Do your best
Do what’s correct
What’s right
Maybe then the world will smile
Grass turn a brilliant green
And stars shine a guiding light
On everything.

You Know
July 30, 2019
You know, I haven’t seen
The beauty, splendour
You talked about, you’ve seen.
Mine has been
A narrow kaleidoscope
Of all the things
Near and close to me.
And you know
You know, that’s enough
Enough for me.

Words
July 25, 2019
Words have gone
Lost, forgotten, laying strewn
Across a uncaring lawn.
No time to pick them up
No time to remember
What has been forgot.
Words were said
Yet no one remembers exactly
Or just what.

Hear The Silence
July 18, 2019
Hear the silence
Feel the quiet expanse
Fill it with all of you
All of yourself.
Peaceful existence
Beauty in living a loving life
You can do it
But not all alone
Not all by yourself.

I Have Seen
July 17, 2019
I have seen you are with me
You have been my sole companion
On this trip, this journey.
Never alone, my heart, my soul
Feel your gentle breath
Breathing.
At peace, I am feeling
Your hand in mine leading
Keeping.
