Do Not Give Up

Do not give up

I need you

To live in this world

and be you

To observe creation

and let it move you

To get the sun on your face

and let it heal you.

Theoretical Mass

Find your love

Find your peace

Find it even

away from me.

Oh, my God,

Please, may it not wreck me.

It threatens to sink whatever is left

into this black hole of reverie. 


These insides are 

a compulsion of a burst of sky

rock and debris and pain,

the wreckage behind my eyes.

I cannot even explain why,

I'm a rocket that cannot fly.

Ash and Blue

I called
It sounded
for no one
but you
for the 
souls before me
never knew

the sadness
that permeated
carried it
through
you heard it
and then turned
away,
ignoring the cue

The Trumpet Blasts

 

The trumpet blasts!

Listen one and all!

Bend your ear

to its cry and call.

 

What is that but an invitation!

For two trumpets do sound!

Waste no time, the direction is vital!

So let us quickly gather around.

Too Hard









 

 

For someone 

I want to be soft

and kind

and loving

and good


For someone 

I want to feel gentle

and tender

and special

and sweet

Shameless Moon


...and the moon said,

"I wanted you to see me.

That's why I was shining."

self preservation of imagination

❤💜❤

My imagination

is too great

I have lived there

only to survive


but if one day my dream world

were to become reality

where would I live?

The Sea and Me

I felt so full and free 
just me, the sun, 
and the s-e-a 

the waves rocked 
in a moment so sweet 
in the water, 
with the breeze 

my God gave 
this moment to me
Thank you Thank you! 
for precious h - a - p - p - y 

what a rarity that it be 
I could live in it complete.

Your Smile

You looked at me 
and smiled 
and the sun rose in the sky 
sunlight poured into the room 
and climbed from floor 
to ceiling 

Deep Down

Deep down it goes 
where no one knows 

I hide the night 
the dark out of sight 
the raw unspoken 
and all that is broken. 

I will smile and laugh 
but I give you just half 
of the part of me that lives carefree 
but the dead leaves 
and dry heaves 
and the endless battles I lost to anxiety 
it stays, too, hidden in me 

I Went to Look

I went
to look 
and found 
only wind in the trees 
and empty benches 
and free-falling butterflies 
but not you, 
not you 
no, not you 

The Itty Bitty


How the beauty 
in the itty bitty 
brings a feeling 
so warm and giddy 

the tiny details 
the colors and feel 
critters in the wind 
with wings so little 

Oh How Pretty



Oh, how pretty 
My eyes are filled with the moon! 
Yes, so pretty 
My eyes are filled with you.

The Role

Who
designated
me
the ROLE
to be the
stepping stone
for others
to be
BETTER
for
someone
else?

Fire and Light

It’s like your love 
made me worthy. 
Because you did, 
I was deserving. 
And now that you do not 
I am no longer. 
That is askew. 
I know it. 
But, I still feel it. 

and I no longer want to feel it.

Gratitude is Contagious





















Your thankful 
is shining through. 

It shows the beauty 
that is you. 

Let me be 
thankful, too.
