Tired
I am so tired of feeling hated.I am tired of my emotions being traded. I’m so tired of bending and learning while others remain deaf and dumb.I am tired of loving only for every inch of you to be numb. I am tired of a life with all of this waste.I am tired of everything…

Life’s Challenge
The bits of the day lay waste to disaster-may the devils not hear us now. We tip the toe, and grimace at the leaf, as even autumn sparks a challenge. A change in direction for hoped protection, or least delay the inevitable… For no knowledge or effort can change a path, thus mysteries strengthen… For…

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

Lightning Real
The storm rolls Without fury or fight Just a spark in the darkness To light up the night… The crows are silent And the wind is still- The air hot But still a chill… And while the Heaven’s talk Hell is asleep But all storms find life In the silence we keep… For no secret…

Forgiveness
Pebbles and rocks Rivers and sand People and places Fantasy be damned… And over the edge Where fantasies live No hunger or suffering Just something to give…. And numb as it was Alive was inside Not for what was lost- But for what finally had died.

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…

Life
The whisper of knowledge is profound Whether in our bodies Or on the ground. The sound of silence is loud and plain Whether ignoring another Or enjoying the rain. The presence of sleep is noise Whether in the plants Or that death employs. The sound of peace is foreign Whether in the news Or deep…

Life Test
Numb the thoughts Numb the mind Find a purpose Seek and find Blind the eyes Block the tears Learn now Shed the years No it all Knowing nothing Build belief While finding something Dry the cry Quite the scream Block the masses Build a team Quit it all Try your best It’s simply life Pass…

We Knew
We know so much And so little too… Until we learn What we thought we knew. And then we scramble Like generations before And learn again What we chose to ignore. Sure some lessons But great moments added And a little more even Once all is subtracted. Yes we knew it all And I guess…

Turn On The Light
All gloom Some anger too Doomsday written By more than a few. When outside The sun still shines Blinded people Of sarcasm and wine. Oh and the blame So easy to pass And so it swings Lost is class. The point of the finger Mirror in toe Equal in error Transgressors fail to know. Oh…

Future Temptress
It haunts me Telling jokes Playing games Little pokes Tap, tap, tap Always the same sound Opportunity knocking But can’t be found. Windows are covered The door without a knob The noise is loud Between these sobs. Temptation is lurking Don’t let it come in The temptress offers Fate stalls again

Almost Knowing
A shadow Where light once was A dream Even if reality. A few steps Mist in the clouds… Bluebirds fly Before the swelling sore. The break Where glue held tight Loosen grips Of the devil and angel. So wait Before the scale gives an answer And believe Once was over and never done.

Beginning to End
There was a heartbeat Guiding steps along linen walls Almost a guide And a fault to the end. Whispers loud Machines comforted chaos To the grasp of life And perseverance of death.
