I feel your heart
Your quiet strength
I walk aside your silent figure
Not alone.
No words spoken
No hand is touched
But there beside me
My father walks.

Beauty Is What I Behold
April 27, 2020
Beauty is what I behold
When looking out
Onto the board expanse
Nothing but beauty to behold.
My eyes see fields, meadows
Hills and lovely valleys
Where creatures big and small
Live, loving all.
As I lay my head down tonight
I’ll once again
Behold these images of beauty
In vivid dreams throughout
This, my sleeping night.

Flowing Freely
April 24, 2020
Flowing freely on the flow
Floating softly across the sky
Walking slowly around the bend
The funny thing is no one
Knows where I’ve been.

Functioning On A Level
April 23, 2020
Functioning on a level
That will succeed
No need to look back
Nor to the side
For me.
Forward is the way
To go
Bringing with me
Those I love
And most of all
I need.

No One Speaks
April 22, 2020
No one speaks
No one says
The words that will condemn
The dead
To a life lived in after death
Of misery. anger
No justice.
Instead hands hold out
Gentle love
Make the world a happy place
Make the universe
A living, breathing
Wondrous space.
Where hearts are held
Close with care
No one dies
They live forever
In our hearts
In a heaven
Made right here.

No Hope Looms
April 21, 2020
No hope looms
No way to stay
Near heaven’s breath
All seems lost
Forever
Gone away.
Then storm clouds break
Heavens open, shining bright
All worries lift, they have gone
Now
My soul is heaven bound.

I Will Come With You
April 20, 2020
I will come with you
I will walk at your side
together
we will face the heartache
and
come out the other side.

My Hearts A Mess
April 17, 2020
My hearts a mess
There is no rest
No peace, no quiet.
Racing, racing on
Racing fast
How will I ever last?
When can I see
Peace
Quiet and dignity?
When will I feel
My heart pump
A slow, soft, quiet thump?
Can’t hold on
Can’t see
How I got here, how to leave.
All I see is
My hearts a mess
There is no rest, that’s all, all I see.

Let Me Know Your Answer
April 16, 2020
Let me know your answer
Way before the question’s asked
Know the infinite
Hasn’t questioned, hasn’t asked
For she already knows
She has made it come to pass.

Hold Heaven Up Tonight
April 14, 2020
Hold heaven up tonight
See
The sparkle in
The dark night light
Follow
A shooting star
Race
Across the sky
Know
Heaven exists there
And
Within you and I.
