I wonder what was it like
When I was born
Did I cry right away
Or was I compelled?
Did I know what had happened
Was I frightened to be out
Of the only world I’d known
Did I even know where I was?
The answers I don’t know
No one left to tell
Gone are the memories
I may have once held.
The business of new life
Took over and I cried
Sad to be leaving
The soft, warm womb
Where my mother kept me
Safe and alive.
I may not remember
No one left to tell
But I know I was born and
With love I was held.

Fortunately
I’m not in the company
Of those that would expose
My faults and misfortunes
Fortunately.
Fortunately
My heart’s not broken
Or my breath stripped of air
And my head still works
Fortunately.
Fortunately
I’m in the company of good
Life is filled and fortunate
Fortunately.

Rancour hiding deep inside
Struggling, struggling to let it out
Outside away from me
And my distance memory.
Laughter’s good coming up
Throwing out all it can
Including rancour hiding
There inside.
Rejoice because rancour deep inside
Replaced by laughter’s bringing
Joy and happiness
Dwelling too, there inside.

One more time
I’ll write what I feel
Deep down in the midst
Of something that I didn’t know
Did exist and sure don’t know
What it is.

Reading, writing
Putting it down on paper
Making it real
By telling maybe, a lie.
Live a life never known
But through another’s eyes
Feeling emotions
Sometimes reduced to cry.
Breathing life into words
Taking us on a magical journey
An exciting adventure
From reading, writing
Putting it down on paper.

Feel it well up from beneath
See the voice have no speech
Know the darkness gives no harm
Then in a blink, its all gone.

Wondering, wondering
What tomorrow will bring
Worried, thinking, hoping
Nothing but good things.
Wondering, wondering
What tomorrow and the days after
Have in store.
Wondering, wondering
Still wondering for sure.

Fall has come, its presence felt
The lane is crowded with leaves that fell
Geese fly through coloured hills
Their honks ringing against clear, blue skys.
While squirrels cache seeds
Nuts and whatever they can fill
Holes hidden hopefully to remember
In the cold winter still.
Sorrow, anticipation crowd my mind
At the last of summer as it falls to winter
In midst of such beauty that sends
Chills to the soul and thrills the mind.

I Lost My Heart
Somewhere last night
Can’t find it
I’ve looked all night.
It wasn’t in the bed
We slept in last night
Nor on the table where we sat
Holding hands last night.
Maybe on the pathway
We walked just before midnight
No, couldn’t find it
Even thu I looked
All thorough the night.
Then in the morning
In the morning light
I found my heart
Found my heart unbroken
You’d held it in your arms
All through the loving night.
