Your Light
Friday, November 22, 2019
Until I felt your light
Shining ever so brightly
Beckoning in the night
As I shivered in the cold
Grounded by fear
Invisible to most
Treading an ocean of tears
Your voice a powerful force
Spoke to my soul
Your message of hope
Praying, don’t let go
Strong hands gently cradled
My heart on that day
Restoring a love
So broken, buried and gray
With each new breath
A calming revive
A new horizon
A brand new life
How do I thank an angel
Who granted me wings
Allowing me to soar
To new beginnings
A Poem I Just Wrote Yesterday
Friday, October 18, 2019
Words have a profound meaning
When spoken by you
Igniting souls, hearts and minds
In an incorporeal truth
Their healing powers
Beyond comprehension
Relieve the pain of loss
A love prematurely taken
Enduring faith and passion
Echoed in your song
Reiterate how life and love
Are truly one
Never take either for granted
For so fragile are they
A gift eternally enchanted
A Journey
Saturday, September 7, 2019
Rolling down the path
Skipping striding steadfast
In its quest
To reach a destination
A quiet place to relax
By the river edge
A stop to see the view
Making friends along the way
Everything so new
Decisions definitely difficult
For anyone to make
Careful in its need
Not to make a mistake
Plans and charts help to guide
A safe course to never stray
Journeys end awaits
A new and remarkable place
As the sun begins its golden fade
A cozy spot at best
Slender green blades of grass
Soft serene so perfect for a rest
Sleepy dreams offer time
To recuperate in wonder
Just where to go
In this new fantastic life
So much for a little rock to ponder
Faith

When no-one else
Is here for me
I talk to you
When so alone
Confessing all my inner fears
Thoughts through prayer
Through flooded tears
You listen so intently
Feeling my every need
Comforting my mortal pain
Leading me to believe
That all my suffering
Will soon depart
Troubles too will disappear
Fear will become an inner strength
To dry away my torrential tears
Doubt will subside
Love will be regained
Hope will return reunited with
A faith restored
A lasting love
A life adored
Whole, once again
Joy everlasting
Thank you for listening
My heavenly friend
Breathe

Like trying to breathe
While holding my breath
I’m drowning in pain
With waves of regret
My message to you
So misunderstood
Tangled and garbled
You don’t see the good
Intention amiss
Distance prevails
A growing divide
Love on the rails
I’m losing the battle
Nothing to gain
Fighting alone
A losing game
Trust so lost
Envy to hate
Love destroyed
A twisted fate
A hope for change
A prayer in the wind
A message to you
To love me again
Eyes Don't Lie
Saturday, June 1, 2019
Your eyes don’t lie
When they say that you love me
You eyes, tell me the truth
They reveal how you feel
When you try to hide
Your eyes never lie to me
Through them total honesty
Reveal all your love for me
What you say
And how you feel
Are not the same
A foolish game
Why do you hide from me
Just let go
And let your eyes speak
They have so much to say
They’re tired of crying alone at night
While you pretend everything is okay
They want you to stop running
They want you to be honest and to say
How much you really need me
And how desperately you long to stay
Your eyes never lie to me
Your eyes always tell the truth
They don’t lie when they say that you love me
They reveal how you feel
When you try to hide
Your eyes never lie to me
