Gone are the times once been
Memories only
That’s what I know, I’ve seen.
No more to be
Those moments
Memories
Those times once been.

Times Once Been

I Haven’t Got The Answer
May 12, 2023
I haven’t got the answer
Don’t know what is the fight
But standing, hands on hips
Feet planted on the ground
Ready to fight and stand
Stand my ground.
Fight for
What I know is good
And what I know is right
Guess that’s my answer
Guess that’s my fight.

Maybe You Saw
May 11, 2023
Maybe you saw
What happened to me
Maybe you saw
How unnecessary.
But then it happened
Happened to you and you see
Nothing to judge
Even if done discreetly.

Everything
May 10, 2023
You have been everything to me
My rock, my solid
All I need
You have never let me down
Never criticized
Or
Let me be alone in sadness
No, that’s what you haven’t been
I love you
For all you’ve done
And
Have been to this person
I’ve become
Because of you
To me
You are my everything.

To Do
May 9, 2023
No one can tell me
What to do
My heart, my mind
My dear
It’s up to you
Whether I listen
Whether it’s the right thing
To do
I don’t know
But
It’s up to me
To do
The best thing
I think I should do.

Near To Me
May 8, 2023
I know once again
You are near to me
I feel your touch
Your breath breathing
Quietly
My heart pounds
My finger seek
To caress
The very essence of you
That be
To keep
Keep you forever
Here
Near to me

Bright Beautiful, Sunny Day
May 5, 2023
A deer came by my window
She stopped. looked me in the eye
She flicked her tail, twitched her ear
As she listened for danger near by
Then on down the path she went
No longer seen by me
Disappearing into the woods
On this bright beautiful, sunny day.
A few minutes later as I was off to run
There she lay, mortally injured
Unable to run
She heard my voice, so near, so close
Her tail flicked, her ears twitched
She tried once again to run
But her eyes were closed
Nothing worked and there she lay
Dying slowly, dying
On this bright beautiful, sunny day.
A woman in a big Ram truck
Slowed up just to pass the time of day
Not seeming to notice
A deer dying, on the side of the road
Nor if I had called the police
I had, they came, they put her away

All Giving Majesty
May 4, 2023
Were you there
Did you see
The beauty, the kindness
And
All giving majesty?
It took my breath away
My eyes could not believe
All that wonder
Right there
There in front of me.
Let me not forget
All this
That I’ve seen.
Hoping you’ve witnessed
Too
This beauty, this kindness
And
All giving majesty.

Don’t Know
May 3, 2023
Totally don’t know
What to say
Maybe later, later in the day
All will be clear
All
Understood
And
I’ll know, know what I should say
I surely should.

No Way, No Where
May 2, 2023
No way, no where
to be
so travel on
to
somewhere
kind and decent
Make sure you care
that
your heart
is
filled with love
that
there’s no way
no where
else
you’d rather be.
