Not today will I say
anything
I need to hide
from
my soul
I will only say
what we
need to know
In a way
that
blesses
all this world
Who too listens
really
needs to know.

Not Today
March 6, 2025
You Heard Me Call
June 24, 2021
You heard me call
I didn’t say words needed
Not yesterday.
All was lonely, all was not right
You heard me call but turned away.
Words stung, they torn away
A facade built up way before today.
You heard me call and laughed away
The sights envisioned for tomorrow
Created just today.
I have stopped, I call no more
For words must be by someone else
It’s not my work, not anymore.

Nothing To Say
June 1, 2021
Nothing to say not in any way
All has been said
Then left to be
Easy to live with or diving down
Into pure agony.
Nothing can stop all these
Bad thoughts
But you can replace them
With something pleasant
Making your face into a huge smiley.
No, nothing to say
Not this morning, this evening
Not today.

Never Heard Them Say
January 13, 2021
Never heard them say
Words seeking disaster
No, not today.
But may I testify
That words were said
In anger
Words that need not
Be said
Not one more day.
Keep them contained
In humour
Make those that need
Laugh today.
Never more
Courting disaster
Never hating ever again
If only for just today.

How Do I Know
January 12, 2017How do I know
When to go
When to stay?
No one can
Tell me
At least not today.
Maybe tomorrow
When
Its another day.
Then I’ll know
When to go
When to stay.
