Beginning a new year
A new day
Leaving all that’s bad
In yesterday.
Bringing with me
Only love and joy
Created there
In my yesterday.

Beginning A New Year
January 3, 2017
What Has Happened
December 1, 2016
What has happened
To the day, the month
And the year?
It has been here
Now gone on its way
Becoming nothing more
Than yesterday.
Seeking to see tomorrow
I lost sight of today
Where I had hoped to live
Everyday.
Realizing it only
When I looked back
To see yesterday passing
From tomorrow right on by
Thru me today.

When I Think About It
March 2, 2016
When I think about it
I can’t stay
In the realm of
Yesterday.
Move away, move away
From the thoughts, the times
Lived yesterday
Yesterday.

Let Me Take
January 13, 2015
Let me take the steps needed
To go in the direction
Necessary and okay
Today, tomorrow and yesterday.

Have You Seen Optimistic?
December 4, 2014
Have you seen optimistic?
Where, oh where could she be?
At one time she was here
Right beside of me.
She kept me company
Laughed and made me see
The happy, caring way
Just what I need.
But yesterday
She left, she left me
Have you seen optimistic?
If you do, please tell me.

The Idea Came
February 4, 2014
The idea came
I think yesterday
All laden in glory, no more can I say.
The idea came
I don’t know from where
Out of the blue it was just was there.
The idea came
Quietly
No bolt of thunder or shouts of ecstasy.
So I must get busy, work away
And make it real
This idea that came to me yesterday.

When did it become yesterday?

A Hummingbird Came
September 20, 2013
A hummingbird came
To my window yesterday
She pleaded and begged
Me not to put away
That feeder which fills
Her each, everyday.
She needs calories
To fly away
On an epic journey
To warm, hot lands
Far far away.
Maybe tomorrow
She’ll leave
Before the snow flies
And the leaves
Are deceased.
So now, today
She pleads
Fill it up, leave it be
Help her get ready
For her long, long
Epic journey.

Memories, Memories
July 23, 2013
Memories, memories
Running thru my head
Memories that I wish would remain dead
Memories, memories come flooding in
Full of heartache and chagrin
Up they come from somewhere
Somewhere profane laughing
Chiding me of what has been
Memories, memories sometimes
Not the best of history that could
Or would have been
Memories, memories that should
Not have been.
Memories, memories wash them away
With happy thoughts of yesterday
Memories, memories.

Delving Deep Within
September 27, 2012Delving deep within
Holds so many sins
Scary thoughts prevail
Hesitation stops
And bars the door.
Enough
Enough no more!
Will I survive?
Will I make it
To the other side?
Not mine to decide.
Just got to go and ride
Ride the mighty thoughts
To a spot where I can get off
And walk away
A stronger one today
A whole lot better
Than yesterday.
Yes, delving deep within
Can hold oh so many sins
But something I need to do
I need to do today
Without anymore delay.
