Dreams…

Dreams take flight

every night

of a world of peace

filled with delight

Joy

not pain

Love

not hate

Kindness

not cruelty

Decency

not rudeness

Fairness

a chance to compete

to live each day

unafraid and well fed

Compassionate hearts

surrounding

Open minds

expounding

Laughter

full and free

echoing in the air

sweet songs of the winged

sweet scents of the earth

If I am only dreaming

don’t wake me

till I’m through..

.

Simple Pleasures…

The simple pleasures~

No alarm clock

strong coffee

the Sunday paper

Time

to read, to sip

to write, to listen

to our winged

friends serenade

watching the sunrise

planning the day

or not…

Yes, there is work

but it involves

food…

Self paced

moments of grace

the quiet of life

at dawns light…

The simple pleasure

of not watching

the clock

makes Sundays

my favorite

day~

Again…

How do you heal

a broken heart

broken at the start~

How do you find joy

when your life is

ripped apart~

How do you start

over and over and over

again,

when its all a

fucking farce~

In the end

No one on which

to depend~

again…

Light…

Letting go

freed me,

for what

I do not

know

Marching on

through the

night

Born again

at first

light

hoping

for second

sight-

Just trying

to do

what’s right~

It’s a fight

for life…

Shine…

Freedom

lies

within

listen

to your

own voice

let your

spirit shine

You are

fine

as you are…

Find your

own worth

it lives

where your

soul

never grows

old~

Knee deep…

Knee deep

in the

shit.

Lost

and

found

turned

around

A

surreal

cloud

weary

and

tired

before

I’ve begun

what to

become…

It is pleasant

to sit under

the sun~

what

has

begun…

Sometimes…

Sometimes

the words

don’t flow…

Sometimes

we don’t

know

which way

to go~

sometimes

things

change

sometimes

they stay

the same.

Sometimes

I question

sometimes

I cry…

Every time

I just

keep

going…

Slanted Light~

Door slammed

stuck in a cave

Tears flow

water flows

Dread

no where to go

start again

another road

Now

which way do

I go…

Fights

to be fought

victories

to be won

stand

rise

do…

follow

the slanted

light~

Why

Humanity exists

decency exists

kindness exists

truth persists

strength persists

honor persists

anger resists

fear resists

hate resists

wisdom rises

justice rises

integrity rises

‘We hold these truths’

that all

human beings

are created equal…

people insist

history insists

time insists~

WHY do some

resist???
