Holy Smokes, Holy Cow

Holy Smokes, Holy Cow 
The world it turns
It revolves 
But
Not around me 
No
Not at all. 

It may tomorrow 
Or
The day after that 
And
You know 
I’m not sure
Where it turned
Way far back. 

The only thing 
I do know,
I see 
Is that it turns 
And
I take the ride 
The ride for free.

Feeling, Reaching Out, Holding Close

Feeling, reaching out, holding close
Not sure what this is all about.

Taste the anger, spit it out
Drink deep love, give it to all
All about.

See the sun rise, breathing life
Into a blue, sweet sky.

Experience the night
Enveloping all in a blanket warm and pure
Kept safe til darkness disappears.

I feel this, I reach out, hold close
For I now know what it’s all about.

Not Sure, Not Sure Why

Not sure, not sure why
the world turns the way it does
clouds steam across the sky
birds sing and cows call.

I stand in the midst of it all
and
I’m not sure
not sure why.

One Day

 

One day will all go away
not sure why, not sure how
but gone, gone away
in the future, like the past
someday
this day will become
that day.

It

Not having
It
Not seeing
It
Not feeling
It
Not sure what
It is.

But I’m hoping for
Pleading for
Trying to accomplish
It.

Not Sure

Not sure where the trail leads too
I stop upon the path
As my feet have lead me to
A place of wonder, beyond belief
A place where all can be named
Succeed.

Not sure what I have to say
Know the words will come
When its their day
Flowing out upon the land
Resting with those that need
Need their words, need a hand.

Not sure if I’ll see
The things I must to be me
But then again what if I am
Already there
And they’re already in
My soul’s command.
