There across the table
Opportunity
Stands
Smiling sweetly
He beckons
He commands
He shows me.

When The Time Is Right
July 20, 2018
When the time is right and my heart is not cold
When I see things clear from stories told
When madness isn’t a partner in that yet to unfold
When I can stroll thru sadness unscathed and bold.
Then is when my journeys mine
And I’ll hold no grief for that which is not or won’t be kind.

In A Time Gone By
July 12, 2018
In a time gone by
We laughed, we cried
We joined hands to understand
The way life goes
No tears were lost
No embrace ignored
We lived it all
Life itself was our reward,

Don’t Be Bitter Or Angry
June 22, 2018Don’t be bitter or angry
Just be happy and gay.
Don’t let them get you down
With their toxic chatter
Even in the darkest night
There always will be a guiding light.
Dance a light step down the pathway
Smile, laugh hysterically with delight
Being happy and gay
If only tonight.

Your heart treats you as you treat others
Take care to love yourself.

Suddenly
I saw all I needed in my life
Suddenly.

I Saw
May 29, 2018
I saw a chipmunk sleeping lazily
Enjoying the day
Quietly.
I saw a dog splashing
Playing in the water
All alone.
I saw a deer eat seeds
From my deck
Secretly.
I saw a tree fall
Smashing all.
I saw ants marching across sand
With a leaf in their mouth
They ran.
I saw a dog cry
Mourning the loss of one
Who’d died.
I saw a tree upside down
How could this be?
I saw a bumblebee sip nectar
Quietly.
I saw a fawn cry
Plaintively. 
I saw a stingray fly
Majestically.
I saw a crocodile up close
So scary.
I saw life abound
But none, not a soul, no one
Saw me around.
