Whatever happens maybe extreme
It doesn’t mean
I have to accept it or labour beneath it’s screams
Of hurt, anger and unnecessary demeans.

Whatever Happens
September 17, 2015
Definitely
September 15, 2015Definitely
Going to save the day
Definitely
Going to remember it well
Definitely
Going to savour every piece of it
Definitely
Going to live it
And
Definitely
Going to harbour
Its wondrous thoughts as well.

I Know
September 10, 2015
Had a thought
Of someone
Not anyone I know.
Heard songs singing
With words
I didn’t know.
Seen ones I know exist
But for me I know
I do not know.
All very strange for me
Yet comforting to know
They did and do exist.
Alongside me and those
I definitely
Do now know.

Bon Voyage!
September 8, 2015Bon Voyage!
On the journey of your life
Climb the mountain
See the other side
Never hesitate, never waiver
Focus on the way
The way you’re going.
Bon Voyage!
While taking thought
Of those you love
Sing a song, a sweet refrain
You’re starting on a journey
For the rest of your life.
And my advice
My advice is
Make sure you do it
You do it your way!
Bon Voyage!
On this glorious day.

The Heart
September 3, 2015
The heart is cold
Has done its job
Time to rest, time to be
Blessed forever in eternity.
The heart is old
And has ceased to be
In this world now
Surrounded by exquisite beauty.
The heart is pure
Has done its job
Is now with the hallowed one
The eternal God.

When I Hear Your Voice
September 1, 2015
When I hear your voice
My being melts and does rejoice
Heaven, earth move a little closer
When I hear your voice.
When I hear your voice
No sudden happening
Is either sad or profound
When I hear your voice
I’m settled, I’m calmed down.
When I hear your voice
No heart is moved as much
No success can mean as much
As the sound of my world slowing down
When I hear your voice.
When I hear your voice
Feeling joy all around
When I hear
Hear your voice creating love
With it’s singing, wondrous sound.

Chances Are
August 31, 2015Chances are
You’re near
Chances are you are everywhere
Holding me, consoling me
Guiding me
Chances are.
Feel your love, feel your sweet breath
Chances are you live, you love
And then there’s death
Chances are.

Looking Back Down
August 28, 2015
Looking back down
The road I’ve been
Always knowing I could
Be there in a second
That place I’ve been.
So sad to know
So sad to be
Looking back down
The road I’ve been.
Don’t look back
Turn around and see
A new road
Opening up for me.
Full of promise
Full of majesty
Heartbreak gone
Back down the road
I’ve been.

Rain Falls
August 20, 2015
Rain falls
Pouring down
Wholly drenching parched hard ground
Giving life to what was once brown.
Rain falls
Its pouring down.
