Something

The day before
Something.

Not sure what that is
But I know, know it’s
Something.

I’ll go thru my life
Living it to the highest heights
It’ll be
Something.

Then afterwards
When all is said and done
I’ll sit back and say
That was
Something.

I

I can’t be scorned, belittled or debased
I am alive, I have survived
And
I know, know what I need to do.

I Live In The Past

I live in the past
I see those days
I hear that heartbeat
Unable to make
Those old thoughts
Go away.

But

Not all sadness I feel
For joy and gladness
Support me today
I know I had, had it all
In the life I lived
Yesterday.

Do I Tell The Stories

Do I tell the stories
I know
Or do I let them go.

My heart doesn’t know
The way
The way I should go.

My spirit tells me
Feel the earth
Breathe the skies.

And the beings that live
Purely
Will guide you, they’ll never lie.

Feeling

Feeling
The grass grow
Seeing
Leaves wave in the breeze
I know
Know there is a God
And
He’s taking care of me.

Looking For

Hoping, looking
For a breathing space
To be in harmony
Living life as I know
I can and should be.

Trust me, trust you
Trusting the world
To be what I need
What I’m looking for
And that I seek.

Lost

Lost
In the midst of a crowd

Lost
Focus on what is just my job

Lost
In a world full of nothing sane

Lost
To my friends, my family

Lost
Everything dear to me

But
This I know

I’ve not lost me.
