Wish I knew what
to do
wish I knew what tomorrow
would bring
Wish I knew the best path
to take
Oh how
I wish
Wish I knew.

Wish I Knew
August 14, 2024
Not Sure
August 13, 2024
Not sure why
Anything is.
Not sure how
The earth came to be
Nor if it’s existed
More than an eternity.
Not sure why
My heart does pound
When I feel your presence
Next to mine.
Not sure I’ll be here
Laughing, crying with my family
Til the sun sets
On all humanity.
Not sure
Not sure I want to be.

Quietly I Said
August 12, 2024
Quietly I said those words
I know you dread.
The ones
that show you
for what you really are.
Quietly I said
quietly with no malice
no anger or dread.
I wish you too
could hear my words.
And quietly
quietly change the way
you say the words
to be said.

Not Sure, Not Sure Why
August 9, 2024
Not sure, not sure why
the world turns the way it does
clouds stream across the sky
birds sing and cows call.
I stand in the midst of it all
and
I’m not sure
not sure why.

Tortured Souls Come
August 8, 2024
Tortured souls come
then
they go
their breath is putrid
their eyes aglow
screaming voices pierce the air
no quiet
nothing, nothing
I want to share.
I stand here
thinking. . .
Does someone care?

I Can’t Believe
August 7, 2024
I can’t believe
the things I see
I need
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll be better able to handle
all that comes at me
Maybe then
I’ll smile, relax
and
know it was meant to be
Meant
just for me.

Nothing To Say
August 6, 2024
Nothing
To say
Nothing to do
Just sitting here
Listening
Listening to the likes of you.

No Matter What
August 2, 2024
No matter what
The earth turns
bringing light and warmth
on a summer day.
No matter what
Filling oceans up
creating life in the water
dirt and the sky.
No matter what
She moves
speaking words of love
heard by those quiet enough
No matter what.

No More To Say
August 1, 2024
No more to say
nothing
else to do
sitting, relaxing
watching everything
I need to be reality
Come true.

Give Me The Kind Of Strength
July 31, 2024
Oh give me
the kind of strength
you show
I should be
Let me give the love
you do
forgiving
all that transgressed
against thee
I know I haven’t
shame on me
Then
I see you giving all
with no thought
of what may come
to be
I’m in awe
of you
I care, I hold
I love you
Desperately.
