Blessed
11:11 on 11/13 Feeling relief In long suffering The toll was high But you made me strong Despite the lie Deceptive they were But weak in plan Or judgement blur And I am blessed With you inside And family vest Moving on Down a straighter road And better song.

The Gift
There are days to be carried And some to pull Moments of fear And blessings untold… And there is love Anger or hate And always the moment Before it’s almost too late… It’s in these moments We can find the greatest gift A grave to be dug Or a much needed lift… To have the…

It’s Not
It’s not knowing Or thinking Just hoping Or dreaming It’s not nothing Or everything Just stopping Or going… It’s not believing Or seeing- It just is And breathtaking

The Artist
Outside lives an artist Of work I admire Stopping tracks Beauty inspired… If time to take From daily wares Hope is watching Someone cares… Each day is available To learn beyond you Appreciate the gift Consumed by too few… Yes there is darkness After brilliant colors speak Listen to the lessons Strengthening the weak… Oh…

A Little Hope
I tried. Not once. Not twice. More than I am capable of counting really. Why? Hope. The promise of hope. I thought I had it, and maybe I do, but I don’t have hope in you. Maybe I lost hope when I started thinking about it, what it should be, or where it wasn’t. My…

Illusion’s Candor
Sounds of sandpaper rubbing- Walking through drying fields Drops escaping the puddle As toes remember their feel. Noises promise company- Loneliness weighs on shoulders . . . Walking up high for peace- Leaves the body feeling colder. Pieces fit into the puzzle- Broken as eggshells on the floor . . . Knowing something is different…

Your Best
ROY G BIV Is the rainbow The sun Makes each shadow A heart break Reveals some pain The peace of nature Makes you sane Unexpected loss Leads to unexpected leads The anger of another Born by ignored pleads Revenge an appetizer Best served cold Discipline is wasted If not learned till old. This moment now…

Making It Through
Stretching day Bending nerves Run away Knees hurt. Puzzle pieces Numbing brain Make it through Lost the gain. Turning pages Missing words Find meaning Just absurd. Eyes opened Truth is wet Another masterpiece Never forget.

Inspiration
I’m inspired to live Inspired to cry Give a hand And question why. I’m inspired to love Even to grieve When to stay And when to leave. I’m inspired to hope And to give care Resist the edge Offer to share. I’m inspired to stop And block you too No inspiration to hate Or compromising…

Missing…
Sometimes in life we are so caught up in a storm That we miss the blessing of it. Waiting for life to be easy When easy was never part of the plan. Every storm brings life. Every catastrophe brings inspiration. And yet there are time periods… Periods so many waste as though seconds didn’t matter.…

Resisting Change
Knowing very little About what’s happening now Something so simple Or even profound. Knowing nothing About what happens next Despite what some “know” It’s anyone’s guess. Submit to the mystery And be in His care… Grow through blessings And out of despair. An end today New beginning tomorrow.. Spend the time With no debt to…

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…

An Idea
When will you find me? What will I do? Will I be something positive? Will I be something new? Will I be that moment That you never forget? Or will I be an opportunity That isn’t there just yet. Will I start as a passing thought Forgotten too fast? And when the brain matures just…

My Power
I walk along a darkened path- Because the candle’s light lets me see… The heart of people provides the fire… For the light in me to be. 30 seconds of calm thought- Can dampen angers rage… The spirit of hope then finds us- And allows to turn the page. May we light the candle…

A moment
The heart of Heaven As the sun begins its set… Lights the way for me.
