Make It Holy

Make it holy, make it last
Make it not to be something
I can’t hold on to
But something
That will ever last.

Something

The day before
Something.

Not sure what that is
But I know, know it’s
Something.

I’ll go thru my life
Living it to the highest heights
It’ll be
Something.

Then afterwards
When all is said and done
I’ll sit back and say
That was
Something.

Feeling

Feeling lonely, feeling sad
Feels like I’ve been bad.

Feeling so much
Feeling nothing, feels numb.

Feeling heartache
Then feels like I should run.

Away from all this feeling
Feel something no, feel none.

Not

Not
Knowing is nothing

Not
Hearing is something

Not
Feeling is everything.

Well, What Will It Be Today?

Well, what will it be today?
A poem?
A thought?
Or something filled
With disarray?

I think not.

Something positive.
Something bright
Something that fills
The night
With stars glistening
Ah so bright.

Yes, that’s what is going
To be today
Something happy
No disarray.

Won’t you stay
And play?
What a great day
A great day to play.

That’s what is going to be
Today.
