Why can't
I just get it right for once
Why do I always hurt them
I was born out of the blue.
Lost and oh so sad, it’s true.
No one cared, no one loved.
Then you found me.
My own you are now.
Close to your heart I’ll always be.
You couldn’t carry me yourself
But you are carrying me now.
Kind and loving in many ways.
I’m so blessed to have found
a mother like you.

What a noble thing to do. Adopting an orphan or a left behind child. I admire you all. Blessings.✨✨✨✨
Never able to break on through
caught in the time capsule
of yesterday’s tomorrow
he wandered alone …
Searching the darkened streets
of Santa Monica
hearing the music—chasing the words
dancing as demons followed behind
Channeling ancient voices
trapped outside a future closed
to his irreverent questioning
—lost within the storm

(To JDM: August, 2023)
You can try to fix it
Or just live with it
But dont fix it
Til its damaged

Carbon steel can be easily damaged.  The human heart is so much more fragile.
Good "life" analogy.

One week the best
Next week the test
Never know my place
No sense -
Just a feeling.
My love drains
With your shift.
You think it
Is another.
So in truth
Maybe so
Can’t take
The other side of you.
I don't have sympathies
I feel fine if you fall
I trust that in time you will march back
Throw the dust off
And get back
In the life race
It is a place
Where no one is leading
And every track is dirt filled.
