Trouble is I haven’t seen the light
Radiating thru the darkness
Thru the night.
No one
Calls my name
No one holds my hand.
Alone in the quandary
Where oh where
Do I stand.

Trouble Is I Haven’t Seen The Light
November 8, 2018
The Answer
November 6, 2018
Sought to seek the answer the spirits speak
Never once thinking to look inside
To see the answer that I need
The answer, which is here inside of me.

Let Me Write Something Smart And Clever
November 5, 2018
Let me write
Something smart and clever
Telling the world
Secrets they didn’t know.
Pour my thoughts out
Convey all the things
I understand
And now know.
Hope they show
Compassion, loving kindness
And a knowledge given me
That til then I didn’t know.

Golden Leaves Swaying
November 2, 2018
Golden leaves swaying
On a November breeze
Floating, cascading down
Landing on soon to be
Frozen, winter ground.
Woods are silent, hushed, listening
To the still quiet as a hunter lurks
Waiting to kill in the midst
Of golden leaves falling, raining down
Upon barren, dying ground.

The World Doesn’t Leave Me
October 31, 2018
The world doesn’t leave me far behind
It holds me, helps me
Giving all I need
All
That’s divine.

I Hear The Voices Call
October 30, 2018
I hear the voices call
They echo through the valley
Down the lane and thru
The crowd at the mall.
Not sure just what they’re saying
No clear words call
But their meaning I hear, I feel
With every voice that speaks
Every echoing call.

Let The Quiet Come In
October 29, 2018
Let the quiet come in
Let it spread throughout
Your body, your very soul.
Let hurry not come in
Keep it at bay, say no words
That make it run away
With your solitude.
Deep breath in, slowly let it out
Embrace quiet
Feel it spread throughout.

When I Fall
October 23, 2018
When I fall
I must get up
Look to the horizon
Never giving up.
Failure is only a learning step
Nothing happens
That you can’t accept
Learn or forget.

Nothing To Write
October 22, 2018
Nothing to write, nothing to say
Just looking out
Seeing
An absolutely beautiful, breathtaking day

Sorely Saddened By My Loss
October 19, 2018
Sorely saddened by my loss
So very hard to pay this cost
Of living life with those I love
Now gone, I pay the price
For loss of them in this life.
But
I’ll gladly pay that price again
For the years of love
I’ve been given
It’s priceless even though
I know
I’ll be sad down the road.
Saddened by my loss
Is a price I’ll gladly pay
To have had you in my life
Even if for just a day.
