Thoughts at morning
Bring the night to life
Answering questions
Dreamed late last night.
Maybe tomorrow
It will all seem right
But for now
Answers dance
In the morning light.

Thoughts At Morning
October 3, 2018
Listening To The World Pass By
October 2, 2018
I sit listening
To the world pass by
My heart is open
I do not cry.
Many words are spoken
Without a sound
Never enough love
Is passed around.
I will beckon, I will try
To get the attention
Of the one in charge
Of this world
I’m listening, pass by.

Holding On To Something Right
October 1, 2018Holding on to something right
Moving forward thru darkness
Into light.
Striving to be the best I can
All of this
While living life on my terms
As I am.

Fall Has Come
September 28, 2018
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.

Don’t Fear
September 27, 2018
Don’t fear the light
Nor the darkness in the dead of night
They will all embrace you
Lead you
With a guiding light.

My Heart
September 26, 2018
My heart rules, my heart says
Be the best and then leave the rest
Don’t look for bad nor tolerate those
That bring it.
My heart hears all kinds of things
Water crashing on distant shores
A baby bird looking for some more
The calling of a lonesome wolf.
My heart feels the touch of necessity
A coffee warm, so tasty
The gentle caress from one
So loved.
My heart does all these things
While beating life and breathe
Into everything.

At Last
September 25, 2018
Crisis happened, crisis passed
Striving to breathe deep breaths
At last, at last.
Hopeful for tomorrow
Sorry for what didn’t last
Finally I can accept myself
At last, at last.

Lighting Strikes A Hummingbird
September 21, 2018
Lighting strikes a hummingbird
As she sits, sleeping in the night.
Thunder crashes
Wind wails
Rain weeps.
No right is done
When tragedy screams thru
A dark, unforgiving night.

Fly Thru The Air
September 20, 2018
Fly thru the air, fly
Fly like you just don’t care
People know the way
They want to go
Let them be, come
Come fly with me.
To shores laden with gold
All treasures never seen
Never told.
Reach for the sky
Fly, fly soaring high
Mysteries to unfold
Your life lived, your spirit
Precious and bold.
Then and only then
Will your story truly be told.

My Heart Aches
September 19, 2018
My heart aches for the life
That could have been
The life cut short for no reason
Other than seemed a good thing
To do in the universal scheme.
My heart aches, my eyes bleed
Nothing is fair that I perceive
Maybe tomorrow sense will breathe
Understanding into all of this
Catastrophe.
