Telling When

Telling when
telling what and who 
I need to love, cherish 
to
make it thru. 

That’s what
the universe gives 
has given me 
to do.

When I Suffer A Silence Bad

When I suffer a silence bad
I try to overcome the fear
It will last, it will last.

Then I see the sun rise
In a sky filled with beauty
I see that no anger, fear
Nor hate lasts forever
These too will dissipate.

Love will come thru
Speaking, telling
Showing the way
To happiness for me
And for you.

I Find Myself Standing All Alone

I find myself standing all alone
On the edge of a precipice
Looking beyond the world I know
Seeing the route, the path
I must go.

No fanfare heralds the passing
No thunderbolt roars
Echoing in valleys below
But there behind me
I hear a soft voice telling
Telling me this is right
This is the way I should go.
