Wrath Of What Has Been

I’ve experienced the very wrath
Of what has come, has been
No remorse felt or regrets that last 
No happiness seen. 

Let me be away from this
Be and feel pure joy, pure bliss 
And that happiness 
That’s been evading me.

This I ask, beg and plead
Knowing it’s up to me to be
In that embrace, that love 
I want to feel and see.

Wonders

You have been 
I’ve seen 
Wonders beyond belief 

Life does give us 
Such wondrous things 

All we have to do 
Is look, see and love
These lovely things.

Power My Life

Power my life
To be the best
The best
I can be.

Let no secrets keep me
From being that one
I want
Need to be.

Let joy soar
Singing far above
And
Around my head.

I see what I’m capable of
All I need
All
I want to be.

Can’t See

Can’t see where I’m going 
nor
where I’ve been 
the road is rough 
too many bends 
for me.

Will I come
out to the open? 

See the path before me 
gently sloping
to a valley full of fun  
no sadness nor depression 
so deep. 

Hopefully 
this is what I’ll see
will be.

No More

No more
Can no one say. 

No more to hear 
To see. 

No more will be suffice 
To carry us through this day 
This night. 

No more to feel
What wasn’t felt
Yesterday. 

No more 
Will there be
A difference between us. 

No more you, no more me
No more.

Spring

I feel
The flesh of my skin 
Warming
To the now coming
Spring 

I see
My legs run
Across a path 
Laden with flowers 
Beauties of
Spring 

I hear
A call echoing thru
my chest 
Of geese making their flight 
To reaches north
In the now here
Spring 

No more
To wonder 
No more to wish 
My body knows winter is lost 
Chased away 
By beautiful, glorious
Spring.

A Place

I think the world has come
to 
a place 
of tremendous joy
or
deep sorrow 

Each step we take
will lead us
to
a place 
filled with happiness 
or
despair 

This place 
where I want to be 
is
not hidden 
but
open, right there 
in front of you 
of me 

Take the steps
you need 
to chose
the path to joy
this place
of
happy 

Tread not down 
the deep,
dark hole 
of
desperate agony 

This place 
I think I need 
I feel 
I see
I will be.

Beauty

Look out and see
Beauty 
Breathtaking beauty 
That
Seems not much 
You may say 

But 

See, feel and hear 
All the beauty 
The breathtaking beauty 
Unfolding
In front of you 
Each and everyday.

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.

I Have Seen You

I have seen you
your love, honesty
and
virtue.

Knowing
that in-between
are the other things
that
no one wants to see
feel or do.

All
are what makes up
an individual
a life, a soul
and
you.

I have seen you
and
I hope you’ve
seen me
too.
