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

I don’t know
I haven’t seen
the truth
The answer to all
That seems so mysterious
But
Serene.
Let me look some more
Let me see
The beauty nestled
In this day
Unfolding gently
Beautiful and pristine.

Do I know you
Have you been
My friend?
Will I know that in times of trouble
I can count on you
Once more, once again?
Questions, answers
I say, ask
Over and over again
Still
I don’t know for certain
You really are
My friend.

Slowly hearing
My heart beat soft
Taking in the beauty
Beneath, within
And
Aloft.
No words spoken
No words need said
For all is explained
In a beat so soft
Inside
Instead.

Clouds are heavy overhead
Thunder strikes with ominous dread
Rain sweeps down
From
Dark, black clouds.
~
Will the storm come
Wreck havoc
Before it disappears?
~
No one
But
God knows
Have no fear.
