Knowing how
Does not make it seem
The easy way
The way
To get it done
The way
It’s always been
Choice is yours
The path has been
Trodden by many
That you
Personally
Haven’t known nor seen
Making it no better
Only
The way for you
It seems.

Birds fly in, then fly out
Seeds are there, then gone
They’re out.
I’m sitting here
Watching, watching
All the goings-on
Go about.
They don’t know
I’m here
They don’t care
About my life, my goings-on.
Cause they have
Their own life to live
Like sing, find seeds
Fly about.

Nothing really happens
Til something moves
Takes control.
Nothing really happens
In the morning bright
Til eyes open
Letting in streaming sunlight.
Nothing really happens
Til words are spoken
From a mouth open
Speaking things we need to know.
Nothing really happens
Til feet move
Heeding the mind’s signals
And control.
Nothing really happens
Til we let Mother Nature
Let nature have the reins
And we let go.

Do I do it
Or
Leave it alone?
The question is asked
And
I know
The decision to be made
The answer given
Is
My choice
My choice alone.
Which way
Will I go
Which one will I leave
Leave
All alone?

Tender is the life
I live.
Tender is the heart
That beats
Kindness to the world.
Tender is the soul
Who knows compassion
Gives.
Yes
Tender is.

No more
To
Tell
No more
To
See
Moving on
Not
Looking back
Nothing there
Nothing
Of
Quality.

I haven’t been
As close as I should have been
It seems life has dealt me
a heavy load
A load I think I need to carry.
Please, if you could
Let me see where
I can lay down
All that isn’t necessary.
Giving me
The time, the space
To be the one
You need, I need to be
For an blessed eternity.

We look to do our best
To see the best
And live a life of no unrest.
Sometimes it works
Sometimes we fail.
But in the end
we live, we love
We follow our destiny’s trail.

Secretly
I say the words needed to see
The goodness in bad
The needs needed
To be
Loved and lovingly.
Secretly
I say these words
With
Clarity.

Time bends
Hours drip away
Different
In all places of the world
The universe
Galaxies swirling.
Time bends
Somewhere it’s tomorrow
Today
Is gone
It’s already been.
Then there’s
Yesterday
Can we go back
See it happen, happen
All over again?
Time bends
