Not sure, not sure why
the world turns the way it does
clouds stream across the sky
birds sing and cows call.
I stand in the midst of it all
and
I’m not sure
not sure why.

Not Sure, Not Sure Why

Beauty Comes

Beauty
Beauty comes
Showering
Thru my window
Straight into
My waiting heart
No hesitation
Or startled start
Just
Calm enveloping
All that beats
Feeling love
Putting beauty
In
My beating heart.

The Rain Hides My Tears
August 27, 2020
The rain hides my tears
The sun soothes my fears
My heart knows
This too shall pass
But
In the meantime
It lasts, it lasts.

A Friend Must Now Depart
August 26, 2020
A friend must now depart
an angel holds her hand
guides her on the journey
she must start
no one wants this to be
but know she must go
as an angel takes her hand
guides her to heavens oh so bright
My friend must depart
a great sadness fills my soul
my hurting heart.

The Water Weeps
August 25, 2020
The water weeps to the ground
Soaking all
Saturating a thirsty ground.
Flowers dance between
The raindrops moist
Blooming, sacrificing all
It is their choice.
Clouds thunder
Marching across the sky
No time for plunder
For something in the distance
Has caught their eye.
Now I stand amidst this
I’m part of this
The earth, the wind, the sky
All this happening round
I feel it, feel so profound.

Knowing When
August 21, 2020
Knowing when to go
When to stop
This is the secret to a life
Not filled with wrought.

When I Suffer A Silence Bad
August 20, 2020
When I suffer a silence bad
I try to overcome the fear
It will last, it will last.
Then I see the sun rise
In a sky filled with beauty
I see that no anger, fear
Nor hate lasts forever
These too will dissipate.
Love will come thru
Speaking, telling
Showing the way
To happiness for me
And for you.

I Don’t Know Why
August 19, 2020
I don’t know why
You say the things you do
I don’t know why
I listen to you
I don’t know why
Nothing changes in the sea
The earth, the sky
I don’t know
Don’t know why.

Happiness
August 18, 2020
You haven’t seen
the last of heartbreak or the door
to
Happiness
Sadness, pain frolic on the path
tripping all attempts at prosperity
with
Happiness
They stand there laughing hard
mocking attempts at joy
and
Happiness
Take a breath, a deep sigh
all this will pass and once again
you’ll bask in the pleasures
of
Exquisite Happiness.

No Matter What
August 17, 2020
No matter what
The earth turns
bringing light and warmth
on a summer day.
No matter what
Filling oceans up
creating life in the water
dirt and the sky.
No matter what
She moves
speaking words of love
heard by those quiet enough
No matter what.
