Holding On

Holding on
Holding safe 
Letting go
Not to replace love
With hate. 

It may be
Tomorrow 
It may be
Later today 
I will see the world 
In a wondrous
New way.

Nothing To Say

Nothing to say, not today
No one comes, no one says
Anything relevant or astute

But then

I look outside and see
The world in all it’s beauty

Snow drifting by
Trees standing proud
Birds flying round

That’s when I realize
There’s nothing more to say
It’s already said

I just need to sit back
Enjoy this spectacular scene
This journey, this ride

I’m lost for words
My heart does sigh
It sees all, it seems.

See The World

See the world in all it’s majesty
Feel it’s heart beat
It’s breath breathing
Treasure the life it lives
But most of all

Let it live.

Your Heart

Celebrate your life
Celebrate yourself
See the world in your heart.

Tread upon the lifeline
Follow it to happiness
Let it reside in your heart.

Take nothing for granted
All of it has helped you
Find what lives in your heart.

Start celebrating your life
Celebrating
All that’s in your heart.
