The rain hides my tears
The sun soothes my fears
My heart knows
This too shall pass
But
In the meantime
It lasts, it lasts.

The Rain Hides My Tears

A Sweet, Loving, Kind Human Being
August 20, 2024
No more can I be
a sweet, loving, kind human being
Nothing is the same
nothing will be as it once was
when I was
a sweet, loving, kind, human being
Rage enrages, angers me
can’t see my way out
of this hopeless catastrophe
That’s what my life
seems to be
nothing like before
when I was
a sweet, loving, kind, human being.

Those Words
July 25, 2024
Cringe to think, to say
Those words
Forming in my mouth
Just today.
What do they mean?
What do they say
About me
My life and happenings
From
Yesterday?
I’ll keep them safe, tucked away
Till I figure out
What they mean
What they’re trying to tell me
Trying to say.

Sitting Quietly
July 12, 2024
Sitting quietly
Sitting
Just to be
No angry, no rushing
Not now, not me.
When the weather
changes
And storms blow fiercely
I’ll move, I’ll seek shelter
Til once again I can sit
Quietly.

I Try
July 3, 2024
I try to see
The beauty
In living life with dignity
Not criticizing, making enemies.
I try you see, I try to be
All that I would want
Helping me.
Guiding me
Throughout this path of life
I’m on
Alongside you, beside of me.
I try
I try you see.

Morning Comes
June 28, 2024
Morning comes
Then it goes
No one knows where
Where it unfolds.
Melting into day
Hiding thru the night
Breaking once again
In the glorious morning light

I Need Today
June 25, 2024
No one can
tell me
no one can say
the comforting words
I need
need today.
They are all lost, hidden away
not heard
nor
part of the healing
I’m craving
I’m needing today.

Changes Need To Be Made
June 19, 2024
I know changes
Need to be
Made
Things have gotten
Old and staid
But
Then my mind goes
In
Another way
. . . .
Old stuff, old ways
Are
Well known
And
Oh such
A comfortable place
To stay!

I Don’t Like
June 18, 2024
I don’t like
the one I’ve become
I want to be
that
other one
The one that laughs
sees the light
holds close
evening’s delight
Let me be, let me see
that person
I was
I wish once more
to be.

Me
June 6, 2024
I have heard your voice
calling me
I’ve known always
that
you stayed by me
protected
me.
I know
when I’m gone
you’ll have taken the journey
with me
guided me
consoled
me.
Made me know
I’m not alone
for
you’ll always be
here
right beside
of
me.
