Understand, don’t understand
How the world turns round
Can’t conceive, see the concept
Of what will come to be.
All fits together, all is a mess
Nothing left undone
All’s well and is what
Is the outcome.

Understand, Don’t Understand

Heaven Help The World Understand
July 4, 2017
Heaven help the world
Understand
There is no tomorrow
If we don’t stand and
Let nature be around.
We alone cannot supply
Our food nor make rain
Come pouring down.
Understand
We are but a small dot
In a world
Simply
Spinning round.

In It’s Grip
March 28, 2016
In it’s grip
It’s grip so tight
Hearing ice crack
As limbs fight to stay aloft
In the cruel, bleak night
Sparks shoot into the sky
Wires break, electricity dies.
We wait for help, to understand
A world changed, transformed
Across our little plot of land.
No cell phone works
No lights come on
Except from generators
Throttled up, throttled down.
While chainsaws roar cross the land
We do our best
To clean up, to understand.

Understand
March 16, 2016
In a way I can’t understand
The world whirls round
Making no excuses
Denying no light
Or darkness in the night.
I don’t understand
It’s not at my command
How rivers run, showers fall
And the world turns
Again and again.
Most of all I stand
In the midst of this
Wondering
Will I ever
Ever understand?

Rocking Horse Ride
October 28, 2015
Rocking horse ride
Thundering across the plain
Nostrils flared
Mane aflame.
Rocking horse ride
Without a care
Through the meadow
On the path of some incidental.
Rocking horse ride
With power and strength
No thought
For heartache or complaints.
Rocking horse ride
Throughout time
Please don’t leave
Me far behind.
Rocking horse ride
And understand no bar’s too low
Or hill too high
For a rocking horse to ride and ride.

Why
August 19, 2015
I am here and have not seen why
All the answers evade
And I question why.
Heart and soul both
Don’t know the reason
The reason why.
Deep breath, let it rest
Then I may understand and see the answer
To my why, my question why.

Dear Lord Help

Dear Lord help
Me understand.
Dear Lord help
Me follow
Your command.

Never Known Where I Belong
January 6, 2015
Never known where I belong
Seems to me my whole family
Is just wrong.
Why? Why?
Neither does my love’s
Seem willing to embrace
Me strong.
Why? Why?
I don’t know where I belong
Wherever I go
The same seems to apply.
Why? Why?
Am I from another earth?
Do I belong in a time
Gone by?
Can’t say
Don’t know what’s wrong.
Or should I just understand
The world belongs to those
That accept different as they are
Part of the woven web
Is what we are.
We belong, we belong
I now know where it is I belong.

Courage To Understand
December 15, 2014
Courage
to understand.
Strength
to get it done.
Tolerance
to know
not everyone
is the same one.
Kindness
to guide
yourself and
those lost.
Awareness
to know when
and what.
Yourself
That’s all
it costs.

Why Not Understand
November 5, 2014
Why not try to understand
All the confusion swirling round
Like a crazy marching band.
Don’t know where, don’t know why
But somehow I need to cry
Release the hurt, set free the sigh.
Move beyond the crazies
Then maybe, maybe
Understand the reason why.
