Remember Easy with Us
Remember easy Sun rising Rain pouring Without care of prizing Remember lust And fantasy Without debt Or property… Remember us Before kids Without Hers Or his And forget now To have then Before everything And after this. For there is simple To have, to hold So many stories With strength to be told… Because it…

I am Rich!
Today I turned 41! Crazy! I still don’t feel 40 – so it’s hard to believe I am a year older than that. As I look at my life now I see many struggles. BUT – I also see I am rich. I am rich because I have had 4 children and have never known…

Void
Ideas were so much bigger before- Along with wants after needs… Possibilities were endless Along with you and me. Life wasn’t stoppable Even with roadblocks in the way… You just had to keep moving No matter what others would say. And drive kept the engine moving Along with truth and grit… But when time wasn’t…

Joy
I sit on the roof The bustle is below Searching for answers Within what I know I remember the butterflies And birds in the trees I see the world And the world sees me A re-acquaintance Life and me enjoy- But finding purpose Is like a gnat to annoy. So then I listen Beyond the…

My Little Old Man
The loss of you haunts me As well a lesson understood And my heart aches Because you were just so good. You brought much joy And of course frustration too And you filled our hearts differently Just by being you And when we had to let you go Life didn’t stop And knowing that seemed…

Broken Heart
My heart was broken once-So far beneath my coreThat kept waiting for perfectionOr to be something more… Time never seem to healA brokenness not to hold backThe emptiness seemed terminal-Reasons became the facts… Until one dayA doctor loosed a tongue-And showed a pictureMy heart wasn’t undone. Yes, there was a crack-But new love glued it…

Winter Sadness
Sadness comes with winterDays are hardly thereNight existing too long in space and time On the ledge to look straight or downWith silence beyond the gift of snowThoughts swirl like cotton in summer A fear steals the oxygen – …And then the gasp…As weakness takes a leap inside While sitting on the edge alone. .…

It’s Life
It makes you thick It runs you thin It finds an way It always been It knows no bounds It never stops It takes the hits It gives out shots It is the present It is the past It is the pain It makes you fast It doesn’t need me It doesn’t need you It…

The Plan
A voice is silent in this yelling spell Eyes open ears While a tongue breaks the heart Healed by drying tears. And whispers in the leaves Fall like screams Just like the memory Soaked by dreams. And I’ll wake Just like times before But gone to the wisdom Or hope for more. Where is this…

Once
I loved you once – I forget

St Patrick
Oh the fortune of the Irish And ignorance of men Here is luck Back at it again The gold is there You just have to find The rainbow in hiding Or frog in kind Music for dancing Beer for fun Life’s a party When pinching is done. And green in something Beyond eggs and ham…

Take On
Take on me Troubles and gains Take on tomorrow Victories and pains Take on now Moments and truth Take on innocence Naivety of youth Take on yesterday Lessons from past Take on the future Something to last Take on now Like you have never done Take on the moment Like you’ve already won

Where Have You Gone?
A breath of fresh air Spring’s honest chance… New beginnings abundant Not remembrance or stance. The eternal hope Forwards the March Making it through Passing the arch. Oh Dear Spring Where have you gone? I’m here waiting It’s not the same with you drawn.

Life Keeps Changing… But am I?
Life keeps changing – but am I? I am working now for the first time in almost 9 months! I am working in an industry I swore I never would. I joined the world of banking. I practically know nothing, but I am appreciating the small customer-centered environment. I am not one to appreciate large…

Mindful Snow
Shhhhh Nature quiets all sound The still is working Unrest cannot be found. A few flakes Like a sheet atop grass Relish the moment Too quickly will it pass. No driving or walking Peaceful moment tonight… A mindful moment With the heart warmed right.

Sacred Conversation
Walk the road Not for the end Find the gold Not meant to spend See the beauty Naturally given and made Take in a moment Too valuable to trade See the opportunity Beyond the trial Talk to God Enjoy the mile Breathe the life Only Heaven can give Then have the courage To get up…

Enigmatic
Someone unknown While having a name . . . Walking the mile Assigning guilt and shame. Performing a role Without knowing how it’s done – Challenging the winner Before the game is won. Defending a stranger Offering means to succeed… Not knowing the problem But fulfilling the need. Hearing a voice Sensing a presence near…

Only a Shadow?
Simply a shadow Eye corners’ second look Heart pounds Bravery took. Imagination plays With believed sounds Risk by getting closer… But nothing is around. Climbing in bed Shutting both eyes Sounds pause sleep. . . And the shadow still spies.

Why Am I Here?
I just read a great essay by Jonathan Sacks regarding how to defeat religious violence. It is a great essay. The essay discusses the role religion plays in wars and conflict, why religion should not play a role, and what would need to happen for it to stop. Moreover, it also touches on how advances…

Family
There are days to like you- And some to hate what you have done. Moments to love you- And others to cry some. There are days to trust you- And others to doubt… Moments to hug you- Or to let you pout. There are days to leave- And others to stay… But living my life…

Picking Up Pieces
The faded blue summer sky highlighted the heat for Amanda’s friends and her to play in today. Hide and seek, running through sprinklers and drinking from the hose would be a part of their play time. Only children appreciate carefree days like this. Amanda loved to play outside. Each year her light blonde hair would…

Saving Grace
The light pouring through the basement window was bright but altered through the dirt stuck to the glass. Noise from the outside was as clear inside as it was outside. Life was failing to be blocked from the darkness I was seeking. Failure is too often the best friend of my choices. I tried dying…

Finding My Path
I have known I am lost for quite some time now. I have found pieces of me missing, but I am not sure when they wandered away. I know I am destined for a new path, but I seem to only wander in circles instead of finding it. I need a lot of help, but…

Chance
Checking the minutes But you’re still not here… Only the distance Is becoming more clear. No forcing the wants Or needing to reject- Just the hope to give in Without needing to protect. It won’t fix tomorrow Or repair the past- Helps make a memory As time moves fast. Wants are open And expectations are…

Stolen Moment
You don’t have to be my regret I don’t want to silence your voice- But the need for opportunity… To give wants a voice. No titles or lines To divert or mislead… Just the chance to explore- And hearts to feed. No love to cherish But a heart to feel- A relationship to adore- And…

Love?
In-love with you… The feel The touch…. Or was it just a moment My heart needed A little too much.

Do You Know What I Know?
There is never just one opportunity- Or just one simple choice. Good and bad will always exist- So careful how you use your voice. Did you get knocked down? Were you thankful when you stood? Did you focus on the anger? Or from it what was good? Pain is a part of life- But so…

Dear John
Dear John If that was your name… A burning desire… Will never be the same. No hiding the truth Or manipulating lies… Just the need to grieve From deep in my thighs. In-love with the memory- Burned by reality- And for a moment no hope- For something to save me. I was good at…
