No more
Will I be
that one who stands back
quietly
No, not me
I will show who I am
who I want to
who
I’m going to be
Cause you see
if I don’t
no one will know me
I won’t be.

No More Will I Be
January 6, 2025
Me
December 19, 2024
No one can
know
the secrets hidden
deep
inside
of
me.
No one can see
the danger
lurking
threatening you
me.
No one will be helping
standing
there beside
of
me.
This I know
this I see
and
will accept
in spite of all
you may be
telling
me.

Everything
November 11, 2024
Where I’ve been
what I’ve seen
is
nothing
compared to you.
It does not
raise the temperature
it doesn’t make
the news.
But it’s
where I’ve been
it’s
what I’ve seen
it’s everything.
Everything
that makes me
me
not you.

Safe, Secure And Very, Very Happy
November 5, 2024
Placed in a place
to be
safe, secure
and
very, very happy.
No one
can know
where that place
be.
Cause then
then
I’d need
all kinds of security.
To keep
my heart, my mind
safe, secure
and
very, very happy.

Hold Me
September 25, 2024
Hold me, hold me close
let me be intertwined
with your strength, your beauty
your majesty
No more
no more to need anyone
but you
Let me
feel
your generosity
Let me too
give
all I can to those
needing
Needing me
needing all
that can be given
can be.

You Tell Me Things
September 23, 2024
You come to me
You tell me things
I can’t comprehend
Nor
Understand.
It seems those things
Those that you
Tell me
Are beyond
My knowledge, my reasoning
Nothing
That I know of
Or
Understand.

In This Day
June 12, 2024
In this day
I wonder
Where, what will appear
Go away?
Nothing changes
Yet
Everything
Does.

We Are All Perfect
March 6, 2024
I Know
October 19, 2023
I know
You’re not here with me
I know
You’ve been called away
To take care of someone
Who needs you
More
More than me
I know
You will be back
You’ll be here
Once more with me
When I need you
Need you
Desperately.

My Sweet Coffee
October 12, 2023
Coffee is the one
I love
The one I need
Nearby me
In the morning
He wakes, lets me see
The beauty in the world
It’s majesty.
Then at night he’s there
Beside of me
Breathing quietly, snoring
Oh so gently.
No bad dreams
Disrupt my sleep
For
He’s at guard, he protects me.
My sweet coffee
Is
The one I love
The one I need
And I will
For all of eternity.

I have been working on the art for my 2024 Art & Affirmation Calendar.
Coffee is the 4th in the series of paintings.
I knew Coffee and his folks and it has been very personal for me working on this painting.
Coffee passed away last year and is solely missed by all his family.
The above poem was written for them.
