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.

Functioning On A Level
April 19, 2024
Sorry I Couldn’t Take You
April 18, 2024
Sorry
I couldn’t take you
With me.
Even tho the road
Was rough and tricky
I made it through
I did survive.
But
I’m so glad
You weren’t with me.
Cause
I’m afraid
You would have died.

My Way
April 17, 2024
Plan my day
Seek and find
My way.
Start the journey
Let it play out
In a most
Exciting way.
Let me see the goal
Let me know
Which way.
As I laugh, dance
Along this
My way.

Understand
April 11, 2024
Nobody can or will understand
What has happened
What will be
Neither does me
That’s why we go ahead
Move forward
Farther
Farther ahead
To the destination
We were meant to see
To be
Maybe then
We can
We’ll understand.

Tic Tok, Tic Tok
April 3, 2024
Tic tok, tic tok
goes the clock
throughout time
Tic tok, tic tok
does march on
through conflicts
and
happy, pasting times
Tic tok, tic tok
is all we hear
when we meet, love
and marry
Tic tok, tic toc
as
children play
old folks say words
lost in yesterday
Tic tok, tic tok
is what I hear the clock say
as time passes
passes away.

I Can See You
April 2, 2024
I can see you
Feel your breath breathing
On mine
My lips hunger
For your loving touch
Caresses
Far
Far into night.
What else is there
But loving
Loving forever
The rest of
This
Passionate night.

I Wonder, Wonder Where
March 22, 2024
I wonder, wonder where
The squirrel at the feeder
Came from.
Where the sun was before
It shone in the sky.
When people thought
That they may fly.
What was said when
The mountains fell.
As a earthquake opened up
And shattered the ground.
I wonder, wonder where
The answers can be found.

Together, Apart
March 11, 2024
It all comes together
It all falls apart
Here I am trying
Trying to keep it together
Nevermore
To be apart.
My duty is explicit
My chores
Cannot be left undone
Not fall apart.
For that’s how life goes
That’s what we must do
Bring it all together
Never
Let it fall apart.

The Sun
March 8, 2024
The sun breaks
over a brown earth
Left as if dead from winter storms
But then
In the midst of all broke
Deemed dead and dying
Is a small green shoot
Emerging
Bringing life
To a winter weary land.
The warm sun gives life
Nurtures
The rising ones
Spring
Has come
As winter retreats
Only
On a later day
To blast
Blow once again.
The sun then rests
Satisfied
she has done her best
Thou
She too
Will be back
Tomorrow
To nurture, bring life
With a warm, radiating
Spring sun.

When The Sky Does Flow
March 5, 2024
When the sky does flow
Across the land
Earth itself will command
All creatures dear
Big or small
To love
To live
Make us be
All one
No matter what voice
We may speak
Or call.
