No one knows
How much I need
They don’t see
My insecurity, my vulnerability
I keep it secret
I keep it close to me
For to expose it
Would only put me more
More in need.

No More Can I See
September 19, 2023
No more can I see
The difference in the land, the sea
It seems to me
They are all the same
Same as you, as me.
Flowing, growing
Living life as best
They can.
Just like you, just like me.

Somewhere
September 18, 2023
Somewhere out there
You be
Living, loving
Being the best
You can be.
I must find you
I must be
Like you
Loving, caring
Full of beauty, curiosity.

I Wonder What It Is All About
September 15, 2023
I wonder
What it is all about
I wonder
What will come about.
My heart is full
My eyes do see
Wonders
In every crack and cranny.

Hidden Deep Inside
September 14, 2023
Hidden deep inside
is
the answer
to the life I lead, I abide
Words are given no disguise
only truth spoken
only heaven knows where it’ll lead
Be open to
those words you are given
given to guide.

No One Told Me
September 13, 2023
No one told me
what I’d see
No one held me
giving security
No one showed me
told me
what life could really be
Only life itself
gave
that opportunity.

True To Myself
September 12, 2023
No I haven’t
No I haven’t been
True to myself
True to the nature of all living beings
I must in the future
Now and forever be
True to myself
And then, only then
Will I be true to everything

You Joke With Me
September 11, 2023
You joke with me
We laugh till we cry
Life is good
The sun shines bright
In a blue, blue sky
Troubles do unfold
But don’t make us sad
Make us cry
For we have one another
We are strong
We will survive.

9/11 Angels
September 8, 2023
9/11 will be seen
As a time of horror
Heartache
And oh, such bravery
When 9/11 angels were sent to heaven
Too much hate
No saving.
Buildings will dissipate
But lives lost or ruined
Will be remembered
Then, now and for decades
The reason lost on most, everyone
Not known why
Most of all by those who died
Really, not understood by anyone.
Life should not be deemed cheap
All life is sacred, revered
That is my belief
Say a prayer, pray for those
Who lost their lives
And those
Who were the reason.
For if we all can see
We must live together
Work together, love together
In peace and tranquillity
Then it will be ours forever
It will forever
Be.

Life Goes On
September 7, 2023
Life goes on
through good and bad
life gives
sadness and then
it uplifts
it makes us glad.
Be strong, be kind
generous
full of love for all beasts, fowl
the giving earth
and
the deep blue sky.
But
most of all
to
all mankind.
