It is time
to rejoice, cheer
and
be in rhyme
with all the world
regardless
whether a tree, a river
a squirrel
or
a person so sublime.

Time To Rejoice

Seen
May 20, 2025
I haven’t seen
what
you have seen
I haven’t been
what
you have been
But
Here we are
both of us together
forever
it appears, it seems
What more do we want
what
more do we need?

Trusting
May 15, 2025
Trusting in the Lord
trusting in me
let the things that happen
let them be
Tomorrow is another day
tomorrow will be
what the Lord wants
what I surely need.

You Heard Me
May 14, 2025
You heard me
I know you heard me
but
didn’t say a thing
to save my day
my life
Your eyes didn’t smile
nor
did you take me
in your arms
telling me, saying words
to stop the tears
the cries
You walked away
your back to me
like
you didn’t hear
hear me cry
But
I know you heard me
I know
you heard me cry.

You Don’t Know
May 12, 2025
You don’t know
and
I haven’t seen
the future
what’s to be
for you, for me.
Tomorrow we’ll know
what
the day has been
but
first we have to
live it
to know, to have seen.

A Hummingbird Came
May 9, 2025
A hummingbird came to my window
today
not seen since
in the fall
when they all
flew away.
Sweet nectar she’s looking for
needs right away
hovering, looking in
she tells me.
Get it ready!
Get it ready!
Get it ready right away!
The little hummingbird
is
hungry
she’s flown such a distance
from far
far away.
Now needs
some sweet substance
til
all the blooms
are
on display.
A hummingbird came to my window
and
told me all this
just this morning
just today.

Let Me Hear Your Voice
May 8, 2025
Let me hear your voice
call
let it echo
across the river
down
the hall
Let me know
that
you’re just a breath away
your heart, your soul
are near
Holding me
safe, secure
each
and
every day.

Me
May 6, 2025
Lonely
I may be
Happy
I will be
When I see you dancing
all around
me
Your voice will sing
a song
of ecstasy
Your heart will comply with beats
I feel inside
me
Your feet, your feet
will move
in such a happy way
Your eyes will see
me
no longer sad
nor lonely
Only filled
with the deepest love
now
that you’re here
you’re holding
me.

I Don’t Write
May 5, 2025
I don’t write
I clear my head
of
the thoughts
swirling round
coming from those
that
are dead.
They need to say
to
ones alive
“I love you
I’ll help you through life
you will survive”
Sometimes
they’re kind
sometimes they’re sweet
sometimes though
they say
what needs to be said
to help
loved ones
get back up
on
their feet.
I thank them
for
coming
I appreciate they do
cause I too benefit
from
their words
that may be written
just for you.

When I Look Out To Sea
May 2, 2025
When I look out to sea
I see you looking
looking back over
just at me
The waves roll in
and
back out again
bringing with them
a message from overseas
a message
you sent just for me
In my thoughts I touch your lips
say words of love
then send them
on the wind
over water, overseas
to you with love
just from me.
