Seeking sacred
seeking to find the peace in nature
that peace
I’ve been declined.
It’s beauty is beautiful
it’s nature divine
seeking that that’s sacred
enveloping,
making it part of me and mine.

Leaves
June 10, 2022
One Day
The trees were bare
The next
Leaves were there
Cascading
Waving in the breeze
Hiding treasured nests
Deep within silent
Green leaves
Soaking up the sun
Drinking in the rain
Leaves
breathe life
Into a mighty tree again.

Enough
June 9, 2022
More
is
never enough
All
is the trouble with
not enough
Figuring
it out, making sure
I know
what I need, what I have
and
that it’s always
just enough.

Apart
June 8, 2022
Once close to me
now apart
that’s where we stand
with
a different point of view
How
did it come to this
when
did we drift apart
did
you feel me leaving
your head, your heart?
No void,
no thought
at one time
could keep us
apart
But now
I stand on opposite shore
wondering
whatever happened
happened
that drove us
drove us so very, very far apart.

I Have Made It
June 7, 2022
I have made it
even thou there were those
Who said
It won’t be so
couldn’t be, would never be
Hear their calls of criticism
hear their snorts of disbelief
Saying
I can’t do this
this that I know I need too
know I can do
can succeed and complete.

Thank You
June 6, 2022
Thank you
for
giving us a special boy
Who by being him
has mended a broken heart
Breathed life
where there was despair
Given joy
where there was no hope
We thank you
Lizz
So very glad
we met, we spoke.

Hear My Heart Call
June 3, 2022
Hear my heart call
Hear that quiet voice
Murmur words of love
Filling all with grace.
Hear my heart call
Words to ease the pain
Sounds made from
A sweet refrain.
Hear my heart call
I’m not alone
Forever with me
In all my journeys.
Hear my heart call
Listen, listen to that sound
Hear my heart
Hear my heart call.

Working Thru
May 31, 2022
In the midst of working thru
What bothered me
In the dark, dead of night
Frightened, scary, morose
And all those things
That I need not care about
Nor harbour in my heart
Not now
Or in the still
Dead quiet of the night
No, I need not.

You Couldn’t Be
May 30, 2022
You couldn’t be
what I needed
wanted you to be.
No matter
how hard you tried
you couldn’t be.
You couldn’t be
all that I needed
desired you to be.
I see you couldn’t be
you couldn’t be.

I’ll Take A Stand
May 27, 2022
I’ll take a stand
And hold still
No breath will breathe
No heart beat
Only sounds are my feet
Standing still, holding fast
Protecting all
That must now last.
Then the gull cries
Mustering forces
That heed that shrieking call
Not forlorn, not alone
I stand, holding still
Upright, strong and tall
We’re together
And together we will conquer all.
