Enough

More
is
never enough 

All
is the trouble with 
not enough 

Figuring
it out, making sure
I know 
what I need, what I have 
and
that it’s always
just enough.

I’ve Heard Your Song

I’ve heard your song
in the early morning light 
and
in the quiet
evening twilight. 

No song
is so beautiful 
no refrain
so caring, so light 

I know
I’ll always be with you 
when I hear
your lovely song 
in the morning, noon 
or
the evening’s night.

Only If I Could

Only if I could see you 
feel your presence 

Only if I could keep you 
always near 

This  I would do 
only if I could 

Could be forever 
with you.

I Feel Life

I feel life
I feel the ebb moving on
Moving ahead
Thru from the past
To the edge of all being.

Stopping there
Somewhere in the future
Blocking none
Holding nothing back
moving on
Always, always right on track.

Let Me See

Let me see the art
Let me see the way
Let no one bar my path
But help me
On my way.

Bask in bright sunlight
See it shines for you
Never veering, always holding
Making all dreams
Come true.

Asking Why

Always asking why
Not knowing
Why I ask
Or just what
The reason is.

Looking round
I see
So much to be
Thankful for
For me.

Can’t understand
Why
Why I’m always
Wondering
Asking why.
