Purpose
For the night I sleptWas the only criedAs I lay in peace-Only death by my side…And when it cameLike a bird it passedFor it was not meMy life would last…I thought for a momentThe luck on my sideUntil I found who was takenThe pain to confide…I would have goneMy tears had saidI was not afraidOr…

Once Was
Silence is deafeningWhen it’s only at the end-For its the companion of lonelyOr a loss to pretend… The frost at the doorKnocks life once there-Leaves were in the treesAnd fights were fair… There was crazyWith a beautiful twist-It wasn’t in memoriesBut the life we lived… There is a lossOn the inside of this-Just like deathOnce…

Finding Focus
A time cameBefore it passedOf what beganUntil the last- And through the fightsAnd even yearsLaid the feelingsBuilt with tears- No more the rightOr even wrongBuilt the curvesTo a road so long- But a weakened soulHurts the pathTo what is hereOr what was had. So the mapLacking compassFinds an answerAfter finding focus.

Missing Y
The explanation was missingBut when is it not?Seeking that guidanceOr the why…Being lost requires a plan.It has to!Knowing where you are going-Until something changes everything…Now direction is the myth.The sound of each stepYou remember it well.Yes, the quickened heart beatBrings panic in the dark….All from needing more?!!!Not different!But the reason disappeared…Words made lips moveSo lost…

Confinement
This is where I workThis is where I liveOnly to serveAnd give, give, give. I could curseAnd even cryWhile curious facesAngrily wonder why And while it was always thereAnyway I breakFor this is bestowedMy soul in wake For even aliveAll is deadNo matter the forgivenessOr what to beg For in the momentWhen finally yoursYou weren’t…

Need
I found a shoelaceMissing a purpose-And a mouseWho didn’t respond to cheese-Thus explaining a clockWhose minutes have no need.

Normalcy
It’s not real But desired.

Conspiracy Theory: COVID-19
Conspiracy theories are popular in American culture. I have never been one to give into them, or think of them. The idea that the CIA hired Lee Harvey Oswald to assassinate JFK doesn’t seem possible to me, for example. Bigfoot sightings are simply for the amusement of the bored or drug-induced mind I think. I…

Song Bird
To the song bird who singsNot for perfection or mutterings…Spreading love and so much moreLife, if noticed, is adored-A Presence so pure in devotionLeft for my heart and ear consumption…Thank you for teaching beyond your wingsThe appreciation for simpler things-For without reminders during strifeMore of us would lose in life…So I look as you lead…

Nemesis
To walk aboutBecause of voiceAnd waste it allIs just a vice.No glory will comeJust like the lessonIgnorance in kindNo matter who listens.For was it not already written?It does not matterNor what I believeThe world will end anyway-By necessity.And why?People are fools-When they are foolish…And the stars align accordingly.

Sacrifice
For tonightDancing upon the graveTeach the lifeAnd sacrifice I gave.The living may not knowAs We lay dyingThe clarity nowBlocked by their crying.Oh the rageAs seeds are laidNever mind the needOr price I paid.And You will knowToo little too lateJust like usThis is your fate.

Tomorrow
Freedom, America takes for grantedSo clear now that it’s yesterday-Never before so fragileReality creating dismay. And you are nothingWhen life makes you a chore-And what is called compassionIs an attempt to control open doors. So control it backBy the power within you…For no virus can attackA heart filled and true… And it will be tomorrowOnce…
-
Normal
NormalSuch a fragile stateNo fortune or promiseBut realizing what is too late…For it’s not to beWhile wasting away-It’s not gaining tomorrow,But losing today…What will life do?But sit back and watch…For it’s no matterWhen permanently lost. . .And what is new?Out of something old…Only what’s left-Minus what we are told.

Purpose
A similar purposeWhile being differentOffers the biggest divide. And so we watchWhisperAnd cowardly hide. Humans evolveAnd stay behindA natural practice. And here we areStuntedReality simply to distract us.

The Game
I think love has purpose even if it’s pain. After all what else gives you so much to lose- with unbidden right to complain? Each year it’s recognized- a little more youth is lost And you add up the experience – while grimacing at the cost The bends of the mind only squeeze the heart……

ALIVE
Ashes to the ground Before tossed by wind Never what was But path made again… Life so tangled When destroyed but together Like the worn map Or lost buried treasure… Proof is beyond Noon or now Within the nuance Or a Will somehow… For in the loss Or changing scheme Lies a purpose Beyond what…

Whispers
Soft whispers dance As though ears hear Or understand A place They tempt the earth Clearing the heart. . . To remind of life And cheers No empty dance on the floor Or childless playground Could exist Inside these whispers.

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.

Dear Life, Thank you!
Where we’re going.. And you were gone-

Life Change
Fuzzy skies As brain cells bend In mortal change Or comfort’s end- Feel the loss But earn a win Escape the prison Of history’s sin… Pray a break Of second’s sleep And stolen moments Confusion weeps… Now to breathe And live again As intended Or anxiety lends… For not of purpose Just natural fate- Future-proof…

See Me
So much my life Not begging to be seen Has crippled progress And time… Now asking for notice No finding of voice Desires a break Before prime.

Split
If you love who I am Fight for my plea Not control And over me… Fight for happiness Not life’s soul For the opposite Takes its toll… Love me Before hating them Understand time Can be everyone’s friend… And when age Graces you and I Fight for a difference Not a lie… Because where you…

Summer Gladness
As the bees buzz And snakes crawl Dragging summer Grass stands tall… Crickets sing When birds lay sleep Within the season The soul does keep- For life lives In all living things So many verses Beyond the strings… Inches from slumber- Or living again Live the now Before the Then.

Hello Fuzzy
Hello fuzzy My old friend When did we become close? Or was there a when? Or just a comfort Before the tale The pain inside And unfortunate fail… And the break Before the torch Running to die Before breaking a porch… And understanding Like only a demon can do- Holding the burden Before hitting the…

Sin
The idea of space and time Is only a moment No punishment or forgiveness Or mind with matter… No, simply a piece To the game Or missing peace Begging fame… For are we not always nothing? Until we come to a truth Is not age or beauty Fake fountain of youth… Just a second In…

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…

Time Kills
For each year counting Is another to waste Time quickens At success to pace… And we are not here Or even gone Just finding a path Of everything wrong… Not out of perfection Or even guilt Just moving on While the earth does tilt… And all things move Even while standing still- Too late to…
