Once Again

Hoping for, not knowing when
I’ll see your sweet face
Once again.

Will it be tomorrow
Or
The day after that?

When I do
I’ll weep, I’ll cry
For
I’ve seen your lovely face

Once again.

Once Again

Once again I write
What I see
What I’m to hear as the words
Begin to be.

Sometimes so great
Sometimes just grim
But all those words need
Need to be written.

Spoken in text
To those that need them
Those to who
They were meant to be given.

Suddenly

Suddenly,
in the heart of things
the world turns and it brings
glories so magnificent
it’s undeniably the world’s
best of things.

Suddenly,
spinning round once again
you see new fantastic things
then and there, deciding 
it’s best to let the world
be turning, turning into more
stupendous things.

Feel The Clouds

Feel the clouds
come rolling in 

Hear the thunder clap

Experience rain
pouring down

Cleansing all 

So once again 
the world looks fresh 

Growing

Reaching for the stars 
because of rain

Life-giving rain.

I Feel

I feel your presence
I feel your love holding on
To the beauty that was ours

When you were the only one
I really loved.

Times have changed
Times are not what they were

Still, I feel your embrace
Your breath kissing me
Surpassing
All that time, that space

Till the day
We’ll be together once again 
Once again.

Snow Comes

Snow comes
falling down 
covering 
covering all that’s wrong 

In the spring 
We’ll see the flaws 
Resurrecting  goodness 
Starting deep
Inside
Underneath it all  

Rising to
Summer’s radiating warmth 
And
Onto falling fall

Where fruition
Will be the harvest seen 
As things die
In the late
Passing fall 

Then once again
We’ll be beneath 
Winter’s cold, cold snow 
Covering  
Covering all.

Honoured To Be Part

Honoured to be part of
A world caring 
Generous and loving 
Even if tomorrow storms gather 
Obscuring laughter 

It doesn’t matter 
For those clouds will part 
Be blown away 
All will be lovely once again
As it was just yesterday.

Sleepy, Tired

Sleepy, tired
wake up from tired sleep 
open eyes, rub the sleep right out 
yawn quite a bit 
move about
breath in, breath out. 

Wake for the day starting, begin 
sleep tonight after dark steps in 
where once again 
sleepy, tired is what is felt
begins.

Falling Down, Getting Up

Falling down
Getting up 
Feeling rain
pouring in
Sky
thunderous blue 
Earth
drenched. 

Holding on
getting thru 
storm ends 
Sun shines 
and
once again 

I’ll be with you.

The Worst Is Over

The worst is over
The healing begins to mend
Silently
We hold one another
We know we are together
Once again.

No one will break us apart
No, never again
Will we be so bitter, angry
With one another
For the healing, the mending
Now begins.
