Courting life, fleeing death
Time passes
Taking no regard for
The rest.
Holding close, pushing aside
All things
I love, despise.
In tomorrow
The world may change
Leaving everything
Just the same.

Stories told
Are the stories
I tell.
Are they true
Or did I just say words
That make the story
Told well?
Secrets revealed
Bad parts left out
Who knows
How can you tell?
Embellished or truthful
Telling a tale
To remember.
Not because
It’s told correctly
But told well.

Let me hold, let me love those
surrounding my heart
Let me see beauty
in the world static or moving freely
Let me embrace tenderly and with care
all those I see filled with grief or despair
Let me know when to be still
and when to move like a lighting bolt
Let me, let me be in all
this I hold, feel, see and care.

Every morning I paint a face
The one I want to show
Moving thru the day
With beauty and with grace
I apply colours sometimes
In vibrant broad, happy strokes
Other times I can’t help
The lines are blue
They weep, they cry
Hues blended in a colour
That represents the reason why.
A smile I paint upon that face
Covering the worried lines
The anger
I hope not to find
Each morning I paint colours
To show love, beauty and grace
There on my face
With a special brush that covers all
The tired, frightened lines
I paint
Every morning I paint a face.

Hold me close, hold me tight
keep the light on
throughout
the darkest night.
Let no one say the words
that cut the heart
no matter
all its great might.
Keep me safe, keep me on
the path that’s right
then and only then my world will turn
and be alright.

Thinking
About the world today
About all the people who have
Died
Passed away.
Most not their fault
A virus
A plague raced thru
Taking
Their lives away.
Sadness
Not gladness
Is the atmosphere
In this
Our world today.

On the other side, sliding down
The slippery slope
Laughing, crying I turn round
I hope the way is clear
The path won’t steer me wrong
On the other side, sliding down.
