No Writing

No writing this morning 
no words to be said 
everything left on my pillow 
the words, they slipped 
right out of my head.

I Let Them Go

I let them go 
He held me close 
No words were said 
It was as if 
He was a ghost. 

Tomorrow may be 
A different day 
I hope 
He’s with me 
Keeping all
That’s bad at bay.

Another World

Another world drifting by
Deep, high in the sky
No words said, no lies or cries
Life lived in another way
A world that gives but never stays.

This world’s sky is lit
By that that seems round
Hardened softness no one knows
Nor hears a sound.

Another world far away
So profound
Guides me by day and night
My path is full of light
I tread on gentle ground.

Another world makes me see
Love in this world
No need to be in that other world
My world is all I need.
