Holding On, Holding Close

Holding on, holding close 
all that I love and cherish
through
the darkest time.

Let us not be separated
or
hurt in anyway 
any kind.

This I ask
I pray
to
the wondrous, great Divine.

Need To Find

Need to find 
So desperately
The source of happiness 
All things that give life 
Making a life 
So divine 

May I forget 
Miserable 
May I need not
Remorse 
For I’ve found the beauty and joy
In this life 
This
That’s my life 
Of course.

I Seek But Will I Find

I seek but will I find 
The lost, hidden 
The divine. 

No path is shown 
No way is clear 
Trudging onward 
Holding on to thoughts 
Of what may be
Near. 

Maybe passed by
Shrugged off
Not
Realizing 

Sometimes
Good things 
Stand 
Being there for me
To embrace 

Hiding
In
Plain sight.

The World Doesn’t Leave Me

The world doesn’t leave me far behind
It holds me, helps me
Giving all I need
All
That’s divine.

Going Once, Seeing Twice

Going once, seeing twice
The solution and necessary advice
Let be not in vain
Take the advantage seek and gain
A life lived with such divine
Will last forever
Throughout all time.

Journeys To Make

Journeys to make
Decisions to ponder
Love to wander
Way far away.

But for now I will stay
And make my way
To the best
The best for me today.

When I do journey
Please let me find
Turth, happiness
All things most divine.

Journeys to ponder
Decisions to make
Where oh where
Shall my wandering take?
