Everything is for a reason.
Not mine to wonder why.

When I Feel The Tenderness
September 20, 2017
When I feel
The tenderness
The soft calling
From my heart
Let me begin to process
All these things
I feel
In my head
In my heart.

Let Me
September 19, 2017
Let me lie at your feet
My life in disarray
Let me see you seek
The good in everyday
Let me feel your heart beat
Goodness with every beat
And finally
Let me be part of all
You do and say
All my life
In every way.

Can’t Understand
September 18, 2017
Can’t understand
Why the world allows
Sickness
Sadness to have command.
Can’t understand
How we got from here
To a place with no grace
No gentle kind.
Can’t understand
Can’t understand

I Did Not See
September 15, 2017I did not see
I did not know
The courage inside I’d have to show.

Fly Away, Fly Away
September 14, 2017
Fly away, fly away
The day is unfolding
The temperature’s cold
Not smouldering
Fly away, fly away
Come back
Amid spring flowers
For now is the time
Time to fly
Fly away, fly away.

Busy Thinking
September 12, 2017
Busy thinking of
All the things
That must be done
The minutes needed
Time left over
Is next to none.
Busy thinking how
Can I complete all this
Then remember
In this world
In the scheme of things
All will be done.
Busy thinking
It will be accomplished
When its needed
When I need
Just need
All these things.

I Forgot
September 11, 2017I have not forgot and hoping for a better world to come. In which we share love, courtesy, appreciation and forgiveness ❤
I forgot
What day this was
I forget if a saddened sun shone
I forget what I had for lunch.
But
I didn’t forget the thousands that did die
I didn’t forget those that did get out alive
I haven’t forgot you helped those survive.
I can not forget the clouds of smoke
Rising ash, people stunned, sirens wailing
Unholy hell reigning
It seemed to last I have not forgot.
I can not forget
A silence as planes flew into concrete
Smashing trust, crushing hopes
This I won’t and have not forgot.

A Hummingbird Came
September 8, 2017
A hummingbird came
To my window yesterday
She pleaded and begged
Me not to put away
That feeder which fills
Her each, everyday.
She needs calories
To fly away
On an epic journey
To warm, hot lands
Far far away.
Maybe tomorrow
She’ll leave
Before the snow flies
And the leaves
Are deceased.
So now, today
She pleads
Fill it up, leave it be
Help her get ready
For her long, long
Epic journey.

Whimsical And Saddened
September 7, 2017
Whimsical and saddened
I feel and touch
The gladdened
The ones left to guide
To show the heart
The way
The trodden path
The journey
On which I need to go
Today.
