Telling When

Telling when
telling what and who 
I need to love, cherish 
to
make it thru. 

That’s what
the universe gives 
has given me 
to do.

Holding On, Holding Tight

Holding on, holding tight
Trying desperately to make it
Thru the day into night.

No one to help, no one to say
Words of wisdom
Nothing on this day.

Where will I be, what will I say
In a world where I’m on my own
For today.

Let Me Know

Let me know what is right
What I need
To make it thru this dark night.

Hallowed honour makes the mistake
Thinking its important
What’s at stake.

Nothing matters most of all
Just let me know the name, the voice
I need to call.
