Not today nor yesterday
Would I admit
I didn’t
Know my way
It may be true
But
In my mind
I know
know my way
And
Plan on getting there
Before
Yesterday.

Morning Doves And Evening Grosbeaks
February 17, 2023
Morning doves and evening grosbeaks
Ever wonder why the names they got
What they seek?
And how come blue jays cry?
While chickadees speak
Crows caw?
Truth is, that too
We don’t know why.

Knows
February 16, 2023
No one knows nor do they tell
The secrets kept
Deep within the world’s recesses
Down it’s hidden well.
To be told
Maybe
Sometime, somewhere in the future.
But
Who knows who
Will be left
That one who will tell.

No Way
February 13, 2023
No way,
No way can I know
The why.
The reason is hidden deep
In the blue
Mysterious sky.
There above, there to see
But
Not understand.
What is beyond
The moon, the stars
And
Distant galaxies.

You Didn’t See Me
February 10, 2023
You didn’t see me I know for a fact
Nor did you want me
Want me back.
I slide into the shadows
Paused in a quiet spot
Before heading away from you
And all, all your self-centred thoughts.
I won’t be back and I think
It’s a well known fact
That you’ll never miss me
You’ll never ever, ask me back.

The Way
February 7, 2023
Knowing how
Does not make it seem
The easy way
The way
To get it done
The way
It’s always been
Choice is yours
The path has been
Trodden by many
That you
Personally
Haven’t known nor seen
Making it no better
Only
The way for you
It seems.

Nothing Really Happens Til
February 3, 2023
Nothing really happens
Til something moves
Takes control.
Nothing really happens
In the morning bright
Til eyes open
Letting in streaming sunlight.
Nothing really happens
Til words are spoken
From a mouth open
Speaking things we need to know.
Nothing really happens
Til feet move
Heeding the mind’s signals
And control.
Nothing really happens
Til we let Mother Nature
Let nature have the reins
And we let go.

No More
January 31, 2023
No more
To
Tell
No more
To
See
Moving on
Not
Looking back
Nothing there
Nothing
Of
Quality.

I Haven’t Been
January 30, 2023
I haven’t been
As close as I should have been
It seems life has dealt me
a heavy load
A load I think I need to carry.
Please, if you could
Let me see where
I can lay down
All that isn’t necessary.
Giving me
The time, the space
To be the one
You need, I need to be
For an blessed eternity.

Our Best
January 27, 2023
We look to do our best
To see the best
And live a life of no unrest.
Sometimes it works
Sometimes we fail.
But in the end
we live, we love
We follow our destiny’s trail.
