Memories
Memories come flooding back
Some with remorse
Some with a laugh track.
I don’t know if anyone else
Remembers it like that
But I remember
Memories
Just like that.

Hold It Still
June 17, 2021
Hold it still and very close
Feel the love refrain floating everywhere
Know the heart holds the claim
To tell wonders not yet explained.

My Heart Aches
June 14, 2021
My heart aches
My soul longs
for times of joy
all long gone.
No more to be
no more to say
loving words
I heard, heard
yesterday.
Now has come
a time of pain
sorrow
my heart aches
my soul knows there’ll be
no tomorrow.

Sleepy Tired
June 11, 2021
Sleepy tired
Worry wakes me in the night
Toss turn
Feeling no sleep
As anguish plays on my sleepless stage
In a darkness with no saving light.
Maybe in the morning
All will be clear
A path opening up, a way from here to there
But tonight greeted with only so many questions
Keeping me sleepy tired
In a dim, dark hopeless night.

All Of Me
June 10, 2021
Let no man see the turmoil
Boiling inside of me
Let it be something to handle
Not take control
Of all of me
Joy and gratitude
Are the ones I want to see
For they will take me
On a journey full of happiness
Just for me.

Holding On
June 9, 2021
Holding down and very still
As the world moves round
Round
Revolving forever
Never still.
Will I fall off
Or
Hold on
Grasping threads
Of what’s to come?
Hardly know
Just holding on

Write
June 4, 2021Write
What you need to.
Write
What you feel too
Doesn’t matter if it
Never sees daylight
Only known on pages
Of a book closed tight.
Write
Let it out
Let it be recorded on
The slate that makes you be
What you’ve become
You see.

The Best I’ve Ever Been
June 3, 2021
I know I haven’t been
The best you’ve ever seen
I’ve tried, I tried
But after all the manoeuvring
It hasn’t happened
It hasn’t come to be.
I haven’t seen my way
And settled with
The acknowledgement that
I’ll be the best of me
The best I can
The best I’ve ever been
Today.

Yesterday
May 28, 2021
When I think
Of all the things
That have disappeared
Gone away
Happened yesterday
My heart joins forces
With my soul
To help me understand
Why it all had to go away
Yesterday.

The Help I Need
May 26, 2021
The help
I need
I fear
is near.
I hope
I pray
it will guide me
thru today from yesterday.
I need
I fear
I hope
I pray.
