Moving Forward

Moving forward is the only thing 
The only way

With gentleness and resolve
Make your way

Walk your path into tomorrow
Living in today

Leave yesterday where it is
It’s had it’s time
It’s day.

Beauties Of The Universe

I have known, you’ve seen 
Beauties of the universe 
Soft, gentle
And pristine. 

May they flow 
Thru tomorrow
Out to all 
Directions in-between. 

May their
Gentleness and kindness 
be all we feel 
All we need.

Why Have I

Why Have I
Listened to the wind
Blowing in my ear? 

Why have I
Tried to give back the gentleness
Life has served? 

Why have I
Cried when a sad song
Comes on? 

Why have I 
Not always felt 
That I belonged? 

The answers to these questions 
I don’t know nor can I tell 
For they’re written on a slate
Hidden deep and very well.
