Thinking, wondering where I’ve been
And where
I’m going to go.
Then the road opens
The path seems clear
All I have to do is
Start from here.

Thinking, Wondering Where I’ve Been
June 25, 2021
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.

I Seek And Find
June 23, 2021
I seek and find
A world full of happiness
Wonder
There I find.
No sorrow, sobs
Cries of destitute
Nor does anger find a place
To prey.
For in this world of magnitude
My heart’s taken away
My soul alive
Oh, how beauty thrives.

Memories
June 18, 2021
Memories
Memories come flooding back
Some with remorse
Some with a laugh track.
I don’t know if anyone else
Remembers it like that
But I remember
Memories
Just like that.

Hold It Still
June 17, 2021
Hold it still and very close
Feel the love refrain floating everywhere
Know the heart holds the claim
To tell wonders not yet explained.

My Heart Aches
June 14, 2021
My heart aches
My soul longs
for times of joy
all long gone.
No more to be
no more to say
loving words
I heard, heard
yesterday.
Now has come
a time of pain
sorrow
my heart aches
my soul knows there’ll be
no tomorrow.

Sleepy Tired
June 11, 2021
Sleepy tired
Worry wakes me in the night
Toss turn
Feeling no sleep
As anguish plays on my sleepless stage
In a darkness with no saving light.
Maybe in the morning
All will be clear
A path opening up, a way from here to there
But tonight greeted with only so many questions
Keeping me sleepy tired
In a dim, dark hopeless night.

All Of Me
June 10, 2021
Let no man see the turmoil
Boiling inside of me
Let it be something to handle
Not take control
Of all of me
Joy and gratitude
Are the ones I want to see
For they will take me
On a journey full of happiness
Just for me.

Write
June 4, 2021Write
What you need to.
Write
What you feel too
Doesn’t matter if it
Never sees daylight
Only known on pages
Of a book closed tight.
Write
Let it out
Let it be recorded on
The slate that makes you be
What you’ve become
You see.

The Best I’ve Ever Been
June 3, 2021
I know I haven’t been
The best you’ve ever seen
I’ve tried, I tried
But after all the manoeuvring
It hasn’t happened
It hasn’t come to be.
I haven’t seen my way
And settled with
The acknowledgement that
I’ll be the best of me
The best I can
The best I’ve ever been
Today.
