No way,
No way can I know
The why.
The reason is hidden deep
In the blue
Mysterious sky.
There above, there to see
But
Not understand.
What is beyond
The moon, the stars
And
Distant galaxies.

You Didn’t See Me
February 10, 2023
You didn’t see me I know for a fact
Nor did you want me
Want me back.
I slide into the shadows
Paused in a quiet spot
Before heading away from you
And all, all your self-centred thoughts.
I won’t be back and I think
It’s a well known fact
That you’ll never miss me
You’ll never ever, ask me back.

Changes Come
February 9, 2023
Changes come
They do flow
From the beginning
Forward
Forward do they go.
Making a difference
Changing attitudes
And
Seeing opinions change
From what we knew
To what we didn’t know.
Let me be part of the change
Let me know
I’ll be different then I was
Better than I was
When the changes help me
Change and grow.

Heaven’s Heart
February 8, 2023
Heaven’s heart is full of grace
Magnificence and magic
Within
All it’s space
There my soul does reside
Beside yours
Together
We do abide
Safe within
Heaven’s tender embrace
Feeling nothing but love
And
Sweet, gentle grace.

The Way
February 7, 2023
Knowing how
Does not make it seem
The easy way
The way
To get it done
The way
It’s always been
Choice is yours
The path has been
Trodden by many
That you
Personally
Haven’t known nor seen
Making it no better
Only
The way for you
It seems.

Birds Fly In
February 6, 2023
Birds fly in, then fly out
Seeds are there, then gone
They’re out.
I’m sitting here
Watching, watching
All the goings-on
Go about.
They don’t know
I’m here
They don’t care
About my life, my goings-on.
Cause they have
Their own life to live
Like sing, find seeds
Fly about.

Nothing Really Happens Til
February 3, 2023
Nothing really happens
Til something moves
Takes control.
Nothing really happens
In the morning bright
Til eyes open
Letting in streaming sunlight.
Nothing really happens
Til words are spoken
From a mouth open
Speaking things we need to know.
Nothing really happens
Til feet move
Heeding the mind’s signals
And control.
Nothing really happens
Til we let Mother Nature
Let nature have the reins
And we let go.

Do I
February 2, 2023
Do I do it
Or
Leave it alone?
The question is asked
And
I know
The decision to be made
The answer given
Is
My choice
My choice alone.
Which way
Will I go
Which one will I leave
Leave
All alone?

Tender Is
February 1, 2023
Tender is the life
I live.
Tender is the heart
That beats
Kindness to the world.
Tender is the soul
Who knows compassion
Gives.
Yes
Tender is.

I Haven’t Been
January 30, 2023
I haven’t been
As close as I should have been
It seems life has dealt me
a heavy load
A load I think I need to carry.
Please, if you could
Let me see where
I can lay down
All that isn’t necessary.
Giving me
The time, the space
To be the one
You need, I need to be
For an blessed eternity.
