No one told me
what I’d see
No one held me
giving security
No one showed me
told me
what life could really be
Only life itself
gave
that opportunity.

No One Told Me

My Heart
September 24, 2026
Warm and quiet
my heart
does beat
beat
beat.
Not
to the tune
another plays
no
it thumps
to
its own beat.
It may
skip
slow
race.
As
my heart
feels
blood flowing
with
each beat.
Coming, going
beat
beat
beat.

Go
September 23, 2026
I hold you close
I can’t let you
go.
My heart races
there is
no ebb
no
flow.
My eyes
cry
they weep
they weep so.
No more
will I go
to
the edge.
No more
will I let you go
for
you’re all
I have.
No, I must not
not
let you go .

The Scope
September 22, 2026
The scope
of
what we’ve done
won’t be
forsaken.
We will take up
the slack
make strides to do
even better.
Cause that’s
who we are
who
we’ve been.
And
those that care
will
support us.
In
our work
our
lives
Everything.

The Breath Of My Soul
September 21, 2026
The breath of my soul
knows
each step you take
each word
you speak.
My heart knows
it beats
to
the pulse of yours.
Skipping a beat
when you smile
caress me.
My eyes see
love
so great
it can’t be contained
in this
my body.
You needn’t speak
a word
for
my ears, my eyes
my body
know
I love you
And
you, you take care
in
loving me.

Courtesy Comes
September 18, 2026
Courtesy comes
And
Does live
In the heart of heaven
I know it is.
I can see it happening
I can feel the bliss
Here beside me
In this, this life
I live.

Our Life
September 17, 2026
Closely, slowly
we move
through the jungle
of
our life.
Crossing
treacherous waters
seeking
quiet respite
in the midst
of
turmoil.
Making
adventure, happiness
the mainstay
of
our life.

Coldly
September 16, 2026
Coldly
I feel
frigid fingers
enclose me
letting no one
nothing
help me.
Coldly
I sit
in
solitude
shivering.
Coldly
I take a step
on
the icy precipice
knowing
my heart may sink
fall
into eternity.
Yet
I proceed
all alone
coldly.

No Can Say
September 15, 2026
No can say
what’s happening
today.
No one
but then
that’s okay
cause
what would we do
if we knew
the unfolding
for
this coming day?
I suspect we’d gasp
run away
trying to hide
from
what’s being described.
But
we should know
it’s never
all bad.
There in
the tearing brambles
is
sweet nectar and flowers
to keep us content
all day.
So yes
no one can say
what’s happening
today.
And
I personally
think
it’s better that way.

Weak And Feeling Strong
September 14, 2026
Weak
and
feeling strong.
Not much
can I do
that could be
wrong.
Let me be
the one I need
the one that’s
me
the one so strong.
No matter
if
sometimes
it seems wrong
so wrong.
