It isn’t what they say
It isn’t what they do.
It’s how I feel it
Thru and thru.

Anger Still
February 16, 2016
Anger still
Dwells in my head.
Rushing rage
Instead of quiet thoughts
Those not laid to bed
Ones none can quiet
Pushing thru
Shoving niceness
Out the door
Seeing red.
A cold blizzard
Filled with evil
The only thing in store.
Standing alone
Hurting head
Wrongs done
Festering
Boiling in my veins
Cursing
Spewing words of malice
Unprecedented dread.
Anger still
Still anger in my head.

I Had A Dream Last Night
February 12, 2016
I had a dream last night
Everything was alright
Making me think
I’ve done something right.
There were no reproaches
No “What if I had done?”
It was nice this recollect.
It made me feel
I could bask in the sun
Relax and display all I had done.
Sometime go back
Look at your life
See the positive
Forget the strife.
Maybe then you’ll say
“I had a dream last night
And everything is alright.”

Anger Mounts, Consuming Me
February 11, 2016
Anger mounts, consuming me
No help in sight, it seems
Not for me.
Then, I turn about
Then, I see
A world full of majesty.
Holding out a hand
A love envelopes
Consumes me.
Not a breath I take
Is it done on it’s own
Or just for me.
I am part of the universe
That holds, loves, surrounds
As it protects me
Then, I know
No anger mounts
Consuming me.

Why?
February 9, 2016Why?
You ask.
And I give you
The question why?
Nothing is resolved
Nothing lies answered.
Only questions
Why?

Not Knowing
February 8, 2016
Not knowing what will occur
Or sure what’s been done
Then
Slowly I realize I belong
To the world’s outcome.
I see the happy and good in all this
Despair
Giving joy for now I know
Going back or staying
I just can’t be there.
Feeling excitement
Seeing the future unfold
With sharing, giving love
Something right now
I know
I don’t know or hold.

May The Rain Flow Onward
February 5, 2016
May the rain flow
Onward onward
Into the river of life.
Onward, onward
To a place of no strife
Peaceful beauty
Take me in
Run over me
Cleanse my sin
Bask in the sunshine
Sleep with no fear
Beautiful rain
Flow
Onward from here.

Never Knew You
February 3, 2016Never knew you
Nor did you know me
Together, we’ve travelled
Far into destiny.
Arriving home
No more worst for wear
Still holding
To thoughts of each other
Not true
But do we even care.

I Am The One
February 2, 2016
I am the one
That’s best to live
This life I’ve lived
Since life did start
To tick
Within my chest
My heart.
