I heard the wild goose call
I heard her plaintive tone.
I bowed my head in honour
Of all those left
Left alone.
On the field of war and anger
In the battle
No one wins alone.
I heard the wild goose call
Come
Come bring your brave soldiers home.

My heart does cringe
My soul weeps.
Happenings in the world
Are full of sadness, anger
Misery so deep.
How
Did we get here?
When
Can we leave?
Questions – Answers
No one knows
No one speaks.

I am a survivor
I survived hatred, anger
things
that made me a victim
I am a survivor
I came through
growing into someone
who understands how it happened
I am a survivor
Only hurt, remorse for those
who inflicted that hatred
that anger
I am a survivor
Have moved forward
build a life full of love, generosity
no hatred, some anger
I am
I am a survivor.

Make it happy
make it be something
you take home
giving joy and pleasantries.
No strife or anger
nor what ever could be
just happy, happy as can be.

No more I say
No more will I be angry
I’ll stay in the blessed day
away from dark clouds
ones that carry sadness, sorrow
making heartache
fill the days of tomorrow.
I’ll live the blessed, the right way
holding all that’s loved
in gentle tenderness
no need for revenge or anger
no
not today nor tomorrow.

I watch the squirrels fight
edging out one another
for a place at the feeder
for
just another bite.
Sometimes
there’s a truce
Sometimes
a bitter fight
Sometimes
a lone squirrel
eats
til he feels suffice.
Birds keep their distance
stay out of the fight
they wait their turn
a time when
all others have had their fill
All’s quiet
No more anger
No more strife.

The heart is cold
And
Does not beat
With love
Just full of hate
Anger, blatant lies
No
Not love
See it fester
Boil over
Beating, beating
Not with love.

Rain came
And washed away
All the hurt, anger
I felt
Yesterday.
Leaving behind
Bright, refreshed
Ready to play
Thoughts
I have
Starting just today.
May they stay with me
All today
Going beyond
Into tomorrow
And
Into everyday.
This is my wish
My dream, my hope
When I see the rain
Wash away
All the hurt, anger
I felt
Yesterday.

I seek and find
A world full of happiness
Wonder
There I find.
No sorrow, sobs
Cries of destitute
Nor does anger find a place
To prey.
For in this world of magnitude
My heart’s taken away
My soul alive
Oh, how beauty thrives.

Hold me close, hold me tight
Let me feel secure
Throughout the darkest night.
Let my tears disappear
Feel safe in a land
Vacant of fury, anger
And awful, awful fear.
Hold me close, hold me tight
