Glorious Morning Light

The sun rises bringing light
To the darkness
Shrouded in the night.

Exposing goodness
Brightness
And
Healing light.

The way is lit for those
Lost in the darkness
Of an unforgiving night.

No one knows
From where it comes
Or where it goes
When we sleep at night.

It just appears
Bringing
Glorious morning light.

Soldiers March

Soldiers march
Feet hitting the ground
Sending thunder, fear
That does resound
In a heart filled in ache
Pity and pain
All those things not needed
But
Unfortunately
Part of the refrain.

You Don’t Know

Of course you don’t know
The sadness, the heartache
I shouldn’t know.

You see the life
That seems to glow.

Sometimes it’s a lie
Sometimes you see I cry
But
Then if course

You don’t know.

The Sky Is Beautiful

The sky is beautiful
My gaze sees magic beyond belief.

Wishing for nothing
For I have all I need.

When I Feel Like It

When I feel like it
That’s what I’ll do
No
Dyed in concrete
No
“Oh what shall I do?”
I’ll just
Move
Where my soul
My heart
Tells me too.

The Lush Green Of Summer

The lush green of summer
Is contentment in lazy, hot days
Brief showers of warm shimmering
Summer rain.

Squirrels scurry away
Hummingbirds drink all day
Sun shinning bright in a clear blue
Summer sky.

All is right
As I lie
My eyes watching summer drift by.

The Schedule

Racing thru the schedule
Biding by the outcome
So nothing left again.

Amazed by the beauty
Hold all so special
Breathe in, breathe out
My friend.

 We will enjoy it
When the dust settles
And the schedule
Is something that’s been.
