Thoughts come, then they go
Some back to where
They need to go
Others stay in my mind
Developing, expanding, growing
Growing.
So what do I do?
Follow thru
Or
Leave them
To fester, to stew?

I don’t know where you’ve been
My heart it cries
My soul is lost upon a sea of sadness
As
Winds blow despair
Through a place so sorrowful
So extreme.
Then you come
You are here once again
Joy rises
My lips are filled with loving kisses
Ecstasy
Thunders in my heart
Yes, you are everything
You’re all I need.
Come lie beside of me
Let us be together
Never again
For me to wonder where
You could have gone
Where you’ve been.

Heaven help me understand
All the thoughts
Going through my mind
My hands.
Are they real
Are they
Something I’ve done
Should do?
Which ones are right
which ones should I leave
What ones do I need
I understand?
All these thoughts in my head
Are they in
Within
My command?

Let me see all the beauty, majesty
Spread out across the land
So simple
But
Oh so grand.
Let me not take for granted
All that she has to offer
All that is so simple
Yet
Oh so grand.
Let me hear
The singing of birds, a lonely wolf
They too have a voice
Be it so simple
But
Oh so grand.

Peace has come
Peace lets me see
That the world is full of kindness
Gentleness
Most of all majesty.
Let me be in this peaceful place
Let me be
Full of gentle grace
Not judging anyone
Not even me.
Tomorrow will be
Another day
Tomorrow will let me see
That
We can all live together
In peace, love and harmony.

Spring will come and be spectacular
Leaving behind winter cold and white
No more fighting for
Warmth in long days of brilliant sunlight
Can’t wait for you to arrive
To be basking in
Your freshness, beauty and majesty
All things alive.
