Helping those who help
Seeking ones who need
Whether it be you
Whether it be me.
Small steps in the midst
Of caring joy carrying
Helping
Those who seek.

Helping Those Who Help

Looking Back
March 11, 2015
Looking back upon my life
Things seem to be
Sometimes
Not very nice.
Looking back not sure what
Got me here
Never saw but felt it near
A presence
Being absolute
Holding me with resolute.
Looking back I can’t see why
I struggled so and didn’t die
Think cause it would pick me up
Dust me off, pat me on the back
Saying words “Go ahead you’re not dead”
“Life has still a lot to offer.”
Looking back down my way
I see I didn’t walk alone
Nor did I saunter
But full stream ahead is what I did
For I had my heart, my soul
And the help a presence offered.

Honestly, Sometimes
March 10, 2015
Honestly
I don’t know where to be
Honestly
The path is winding way beyond me
Do I follow it?
Do I turn the other way
Seek the horizon there across the bay?
Honestly
Can you tell me?
Sometimes
I don’t know what to say
Or just how I’ll find my way
Sometimes
I just don’t know
That’s when I have to trust
Everything will be alright
Sometimes
Everything will flow
To a place I sometimes know.

It All Looks Different
March 9, 2015
It all looks different
But
Endlessly the same.
Made
To have significance
Without harbouring
Any name.
Trouble if you make it
Social
Just the same.
Quandary
What and where it lives
Inside of me
I hear
It’s sweet refrain.

Just What Kind?

Just what kind of birds do you get at your feeder?
Mine seem a little different.

Joyous Light
March 5, 2015
Joyous light following us tonight
Lighting all we need to know
On this dark passage that we go.
Guiding light we see tonight
Shows us the way
To a bright and glorious day.
Joyous, guiding light
Illuminating our way
Tonight.

We Are Changing
March 4, 2015
We are changing
Where we are.
We don’t see
What we’ve done.
We don’t belong
Where we need to be.
We are masking
Conceit with happy.
We are changing
Fortunately.

Suddenly
March 3, 2015
Suddenly
The heart goes to a place
Where there is
No end.
Suddenly
Unexpectedly
Not only when you think it should
It bends
Dipping low
Pouring out love all aglow.
Suddenly
The heart goes
Where hearts go
And bend.

Hold Out To Help
March 2, 2015
Hold out to help those that need
Including you if you please
Follow the path to the road
Journey on
On adventures still untold.
Don’t look back, look straight ahead
Glance to the left, look to the right
Keeping your focus on that bright, glowing light
There ahead
Showing you your own true life.

Three Years Ago Tomorrow
February 27, 2015
Three years ago tomorrow,
Monty died today.
I Feel the sadness and the pain
Just like it was yesterday.
He stayed with us a little longer
Not for himself, but to help make us stronger,
To be able to accept that final day.
Three years ago tomorrow,
When Monty died today.
To cherish and remember
All that was good and dear.
About Monty,
who three years ago tomorrow
Died today.
The last day of February,
The 29th to be exact
Which tomorrow isn’t there
So, three years ago tomorrow,
Monty died today.
