Smile and laugh.
See the world as a beautiful place to be.
See joy and beauty.
Caress the love you feel and that envelops your soul.

I Dreamed Last Night
November 19, 2012
I dreamed last night
And
I don’t know why.
I dreamed last night
Of a time gone by
Of power and might
And travel
At the speed of light.
I dreamed last night
The world is old
We have been here
For years untold.
I dreamed last night
Of losing power and might
Living
In bewilderment and strife.
I dreamed last night
From elsewhere we came
On a flash of light
Brightening the sky
Lighting the night.
This I dreamed last night.

There Lies The Reason That I Cry
November 16, 2012There lies the reason that I cry
No, not the one you’d think
But the reason
That makes me cry and cry.
Whenever I smile
Laugh and go ahead
Something in the back
Holds oh so much
Awful, awful dread.
Makes me cry
Makes me shed
Tears not of happiness
But
Those of monster dread.
Seek and find the reason
That I cry
Seek and find the reason
I feel like I want to die
When I think
Of that dreadful reason
That makes me cry and cry.
Bring it to the open
Expose it to the light
No more hidden
In the darkness of tear light.
Change those tears
And cry’s of sadness
To ones crying
In ecstasy and delight
My life will then not be hidden
In the darkness of tear light.

Solitary Sweetness
November 15, 2012
Solitary sweetness
Belief in the master plan
Smiling quietly as travelling
Down the path that expands.
Into a meadow
Full of promise and grace
Giving a chance at a life
With no mistakes.
Solitary time
Guided thru rhyme
Hearing the way
Of the master
Guiding with a master plan.
Never alone
On this solitary journey
Always there
With the master
Leading, guiding hand in hand.

On A Saturday Night
November 14, 2012On a saturday night
He left many years ago.
Cold, windy raining
When he bid me bye
And walked out the door.
Never ever to see him
Alive ever more.
Gone forever
This man I loved
Is no more.
Life changed
Forever
Forever more.

I Close My Eyes Just To Feel My Heart
November 12, 2012Dedicated to Sue, who has lost her beloved horse, Yorkie.
Our thoughts are with you.
I close my eyes just to feel my heart
Feel the pain
Please make it to depart
Lost to all never more to be
The call I loved and adored from thee.
Feel the sadness reign
Beginning down the path
Of no gladness, ecstasy
Only sadden, weeping pain.
You have gone, lost to me
Remorse is not the word
I need or want to see
Tears once of joy shattered
Left, gone no more to employ
Only rivers long, tragic and so deep
Flowing with overwhelming sadness
Do they weep.
Brought down to my knees
Blows of anguish
Anger
Morose disbelief.
Truly thought you’d live forever
Now know is never going to be
Love you ever
Ever please believe
Wanted never
You to leave me never
Ever leave me never please.
Now gone I oh so weep
I steep my heart in sorrow
Feel your presence and
Tomorrow I’ll close my eyes
Just to feel my heart
As it bleeds and weeps.

See The Mess And Learn
November 9, 2012See the mess and learn
How to clean it up
Do what it takes to make it not
Proud and bold step right up
To the job of cleaning up.
Not your room
I think not
Most likely just your life
Needs cleaning up.
Make room for order
Get rid of strife
Happiness and joy make it flow
Help you ease thru trouble
Trepidation, evil might
All that slows the clean up
fight.
Never mind
What’s come before
Focus
On the present life.
Clean it up
Make it right
Smile a lot, see the light
For you’ve seen a mess
And made it right in this
Your own clean up fight.

My Soul Knows The Way
November 8, 2012
My soul knows the way
The way I must go
On my journey road.
Not the one that may be easy
Not the one I’ve been told
Just the one made for me
And my living, loving soul.
Whether its hard or easy
We will see and watch unfold
All the lovely lessons
This I know, I’ve been told.
Love to have you along with me
Love to share the road
My soul, she knows the way
On this wondrous, unchartered road.

On The Fifteenth You Were Gone
November 7, 2012
On the fifteenth you were gone
Gone to the afterlife and beyond.
Sweet and tender, strong and bold
Loyalty so much untold.
Gently sleeping away from me
Off into eternity
Love your strength
Sadness, missing oh so much
Never easy, never will forget
All the things when
You and I were young.
Love you dear. Love you strong
We will miss you now
Now that you have gone
To a place where we will meet
And play the game we remember sweet
For so long.
I love you dear. You are the one
Who sung a song of life
And made all fulfilled.
But alas
Its now the time
The missing has to start
Remember long
I love you with all my heart.

This Is What Happens
November 6, 2012This is what happens
In the deep reaches
Of my mind.
No one understands it
Quite like you
Me and thine.
Blow it up to proportion
Let it stand alone
There all will see it
As it makes it on it’s own.
