Just A Minute
Just a minute Of an hour each day…
-
The Mind
The pullEvery nerveMinute and hour-I drown in noiseAbsent silenceWith days and sounds…The collapseJust a bodyAnd design…Once keptNow soughtThe mind.
-
One Last Time
Begging for secondsOf minutes lostWithout a memoryBut balanced cost-And in the battleLose the warTo remember hopeOr what was before-11:11Has always beenWhen I say helloAnd feel again-Just that momentWhere peace is mineWhere I can sigh reliefOne last time.

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.
-
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.
-
Small Blessings
Sometimes beautiful nights come after a really bad day – and such is life. I understand that without the bad days – I would appreciate good days less. But… the string of bad days has beat out the good ones too often lately. And yet… I know my blessings exceed my trials. I do! But…

Truth
Rain from a dry storm Fall like bits of honesty And regret Like a bath… And you fill the beginning Or the end Of Remembrance And wrath
-
A Moment
Numb and present A glorious gift Beyond wolves and prey But a needed lift… Yes to reality But only to pretend- Learning from this Faith and sin… Understanding the moment While forgiving the past… Honest for a moment- Or seconds that last.
-
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…

When Night Falls
When night falls… Ghosts awake
-
Moonlight
For not the stars But the moon Guide my steps And thoughts home.
-
Morning Moment
I lay here The only one awake… I sense peace See shadows Feel comfort. The silence is healing And my benefit… Just by taking this moment To notice it’s here.

Worth Seeing
I had this world Beautiful and pure Wonders everywhere Tough to ignore. Slowly fractures Impacted the lens And what was loved Turned past in tense. The fractures are mine Minutes are pure But sometimes breaks Are much to endure. Life is a shuffle Made into a race And granted before Leaves no room to replace.…

Treasure in Skies
Richness is moments Various times and place To just experience His glory And repeated saving grace. Releasing control Or tracking fate Simply being Missing the wait. Oh the glories When you open your eyes No burden to bury The treasure in skies.
-
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.
-
Silence Sake
Midnight steps Silent for the sleeping Loud for woken ears Mindful minutes. Moments alone Not for loneliness But for space Needless to move But to feel Something beyond myself For the sake of living Before the day.
-
Truth In Shadows
Captured focus Rainless rainbow circles Armored by clouds Earth’s moon tangles a sun. To wonder now Like children in a field Nature dances in shadows Minds rejoice precious minutes. Beginning with the end Mesmerized by prediction Value of a quiet victory Consecrated by time.
-
State of Time
Pleasant sounds now have ominous tones Begging for the worst Painting the best. The artist is unknown While work is displayed Manipulated understanding. Young are born Old still age Brevity highlighting it all. Muscles ache While wasting away So is the state of time.
-
Endless
A depth without knowledge Strength without muscle Stopping all Pushing everything. Consequence silenced Gains imagined Built and structured Without conscience plan. Believed reality While imaginary Structured always Architect of the mind.

Daily Lesson
Quiet the heart Wake up the mind Find the balance In this day to unwind. Peaceful steps Down a winding road Lifting weights Of a heavy load. Laugh at irony As the feet trip Hold the tongue Watch the lips. Now to rest From where you’ve been Until the sun rise To try again.
-
Faith
Peace is in the silence As night finishes it’s fall Hope is in the distance And so is losing it all. Steps in between Changing how everything fits An answer is the temptress The devil urging to quit. But then looking to the sky Reminded just like before You are the power I have to…

Mindful Awakening
I guess I should have told you That your life was short Even when days were running long. I should have opened the mouth And pulled your ears To keep you from more wrong. I should have voiced regret And also concern For the excuses being made. I should have stopped the cycle And the…

Living Moment
Knowing something Anything A thing of the past Capturing a moment Now For a moment to last. Could of been Often Lasting only in thought Now forgetting Everything Is the only shot. Pain in regret Yesterday Useless to feel Learning the discipline Living Now in what’s real
-
Mindfulness
An ancient melody When moments are spared Crickets and starlight A peace willingly shared. The invite appealing A dance to dream Surrounded by wonder And what it will mean. Thoughts abate Breath taken in Present in the moment Until we do this again.
-
Known
What is known… The moon is bright- The sky now dark The day ends right. Another breath From another day… Many blessings And a home to stay. No other thoughts If my discipline holds true… Living for now- And living through You.

Peace of Mind
Closing my eyes- The depth begins to change. No longer a solid black wall- An inviting open space emerges. The darkness isn’t empty- Just a special place to go…. No longer just one world- More worlds are there to know. Calm and strength are there- In a vain attempt to describe… Doubt and anger do…
