If
a raven can hold a grudge
a squirrel remember where she hid her pine cones and nuts
trees alert their neighbouring trees that they have been attacked
What makes us humans so special?

I Know
December 6, 2021
I know
my heart is broken
I know
life has stood still
I know
I must move forward
I know
my head, my heart, my legs, my feet are standing still
I know
that anguish will be a ever present
I know
that tears will flow
I know
I know
but still
still
I love you so.

Seeking Help
November 1, 2021
Seeking help, seeking closure
seeing the way
with the vision
from all
that
surround me.
Grateful, amazed
that
this could happen
be
my salvation
within, around
and
enveloping me.

Hold Me Close
May 19, 2021
Hold me close, hold me tight
Let me feel secure
Throughout the darkest night.
Let my tears disappear
Feel safe in a land
Vacant of fury, anger
And awful, awful fear.
Hold me close, hold me tight

Why Haven’t You
April 8, 2021Why haven’t you held me close
Protected me from the worst, the gross
Why haven’t you?
Why haven’t you heard my pleas
My calls for help
Why haven’t you?
Why haven’t you seen the worst
And fell upon the evil that has me cursed
Why haven’t you?
Why haven’t you seen, heard, felt or been
The one I need
Why haven’t you?
Why haven’t you?

You’ve Been With Me
March 29, 2021
You’ve been with me
I believe
no amount of time will pass
without you near.
Remorse in the beginning
crying that will cease
becoming memories of laughter and play
things talked about shown, learned
and explained.
No farther away
than a thought in my head
for I see your voice speaking
your eyes filled with kindness
no dread.
I know I can go forward
I know I’ll be ok
for you’ll be with me
forever
forever and a day.

Let Them Help
March 23, 2021
Let them help
Let them be part of the solution
Part of the ever evolving history.
Let them work
Let them play and be happy
For all will come to an end.
So let the trip, the journey
Be a good one
To last long into eternity.

I Have Seen You
March 17, 2021
I have seen you
your love, honesty
and
virtue.
Knowing
that in-between
are the other things
that
no one wants to see
feel or do.
All
are what makes up
an individual
a life, a soul
and
you.
I have seen you
and
I hope you’ve
seen me
too.

We Work Together
March 15, 2021
We work together
we find a way
to make the world better
for all
in the coming
and
the passing days.

I Know You Haven’t Been
October 8, 2020
I know you haven’t been
On my side nor in between
Still I feel
You will come to be
A fan of all I’ve done
All I’ve been.
