Hardly seen
Nor
Put upon as perfect
Yet
Here we are, here we be
Flourishing
Throughout the land
For all
To know
To feel, to touch
To see.

Hardly Seen

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.

My Heart
September 16, 2022
My heart rules, my heart says
Be the best and then leave the rest
Don’t look for bad nor tolerate those
That bring it.
My heart hears all kinds of things
Water crashing on distant shores
A baby bird looking for some more
The calling of a lonesome wolf.
My heart feels the touch of necessity
A coffee warm, so tasty
The gentle caress from one
So loved.
My heart does all these things
While beating life and breathe
Into everything.

The Truth
April 4, 2022
Sometimes the truth
hurts
and
not the best thing
to hear.
Sometimes its good
to accept the truth
as it is
as it seems.
Sometimes you can
make the truth
the truth you need
to embrace
and
to believe.

Hold Me Close
October 19, 2021
Hold me close
Hold me where I can see
All the beauty
Enveloping
You and me.
Never let me go
Never let me be
All alone
Without you close
Near to me.
Our hearts beat
Together
Our lives are intertwined
Let it be forever
Forever til
The end of time.

Another Day Not The Same
March 26, 2021
Another day not the same
A cloud, a veil
Lifted
Now I see my terrain.
All is clear
My purpose, my direction
My refrain.
I sing and live
What gives me satisfaction
Gives me
A life to live.

I Cry, So I Cry
February 19, 2021
I feel the heaven and the lie
I know the answer I sigh
Nothing is respectful
Nor is it what I need to know
I cry
So I cry.
I see the heaven
I see the ocean’s die
I am part of the earth
Scotched, bleeding dry
That’s why, that’s when
I cry
So I cry

I Find My Heart Cold
September 18, 2020
I find my heart cold
In charge of no life
Making no sound
Finding no life.
Lonely of course
Hardened and cruel
Seeking no justice
A master I’m sure
That is such a fool.
Sudden I hear
A kindness roar
Blood pulsing inside
Like opening a door.
For my heart is alive
Beating with life
Coursing with love
Creating a good life.

When You See The Greatness
August 14, 2020
When you see the greatness
The majesty
You’ll also see the power
And the glory.
No stone unturned
No path untread
No heart lying
Waiting in an empty, lonely bed.
All will be together
All will be suffice
To make this world better
To give this world life.

My Heart Grows Old
May 29, 2020
My heart grows old
With stories that are told
Snuggled in a soul
That will never, ever
Grow old.
