Not this morning
not today
will I be a victim
of
Yesterday

Don’t Let Me Say
December 5, 2023
Don’t let me say
The words I don’t want to hear
Please let me speak the words
That’ll guide me away
Far away from here.
Let me do
What needs to be done
Let it be something beautiful
And nothing
I would want undone.
That is all I ask
That is all I can do
Let me be happy
With these words, these things
I will, I can do.

Kaboom, Kaboom
December 1, 2023
Quietly, softly the breath intakes
listening
to the heart
explodiate
Kaboom, Kaboom
The legs take their feet for a walk
while
the arms hold close the hands
caressing the softness
of love
seen by the eyes
as
the ears listen
to
the quiet heart
go
Kaboom, Kaboom.

No More To See
November 30, 2023
No more to see
To feel
My heart is full
Loaded with sweet, kind
Tender thoughts
That’ll carry me through
Whatever happens
Whatever
My arms embrace
My mind has captured, caught.

Long, Cold Lonely Night
November 29, 2023
No one holds me close
No one
Holds me tight.
Instead I lay
Alone
Throughout
The long, cold lonely night.
Will there be someone?
Will they love me tender
Hold me close
Hold
Me tight?
I can dream
But
Will it ever be
On
This long, cold lonely night?

The World Will Still Spin
November 28, 2023
When I’m here
Then
When I’m gone.
The world will still spin
Birds sing songs
Grass turn green
And
Rivers flow.
Even if I’m gone
The world still turns
It spins
Still spins around.

Sometimes Things Get Old
November 21, 2023
Sometimes
Things get old and stale
Sometimes
We wonder what ever
Will prevail
But then
Without a trace
The world comes into focus
We feel blessed
We feel as if nothing ever
Could be wrong
All is new, shiny
And
So very strong,

Let Me Not
November 20, 2023
Let me not hold you close
Let my eyes not see
The beauty in your sweet being
Let me be all alone
Not near
Or
A part of anything.
Then I’ll know
How much I have
Then
I’ll be oh so glad
You’re in my life
I have a life
That’s perfect and mine to live
To have.

Me
November 16, 2023
No one can help
Me
See the beauty
The majesty
Only one
To
Help me
Is
Me
Me alone
Can see all this
Around and before the likes
Of
Little mortal me.

No One Sees
November 14, 2023
No one in the world
Sees the countryside, the sky
Others in my journey
Exactly
Just like me.
They see a different world
They don’t see
What my eyes experience
No
Not just like me.
But then
I don’t see the countryside, the sky
Others on this journey
Exactly as they do
No where near
What they do see.
