No Matter What Happens To Me

 

No matter what happens to me
the world will turn on into its destiny
flowers will bloom, bees be busy
nothing matters except the going
the moving from what has
to what will be.

Save your breath for breathing
your words to speak adoration
of the heaven that has given all
just for you
asking nothing in return
only wanting to be.

I Cope

In the heat of the moment

I cope

I learn to adjust
Not using mirrors, illusions
Or blinding smoke

I cope

Moving forward addressing
The matter, using kind words
Smiles and laughter

I cope

Nothing matters as much
As that I solve the issue
Adjust and move forward

That I cope.

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.
