this is for our sisters and brothers
who live somewhere out there

I would have been delighted to meet you!
and if you are reading this

it means that I am dead
and your visit to Earth came too late.
I am weak , when you are strong through me Lord.
I am disable , yet you still use me a lot O Lord God.
I am a mess, can only see out of one eye now.
I am really weak at times yet you strengthen me.
For when I rely on your strength I can overcome .
Everything that keeps me held prisoner here.
I can overcome all addiction through your strength.
I can stand tall and firm through your Mighty strength.
I can leap over all obstacles that stand in the way.
I saw the world through
eyes of glass.
Ghost, tall and thin.
What I can't see, please tell me.
- Little petals, white and rosy.
Flying in your garden
You really can't see the beauty
in everything,
I don't even think you can see me.
... But Cherry Blossom
on a moonlit night

like smooth velvet words
on satin blue skies with white *******
painted with corn cob silks
upon a  backdrop of the
brightest hues of yellow red
the contrast of a mauve overhead
glares
when the sky turns green along
comes  that starry night
of Matisse eyesight and Van Gogh
splashing
down to earth to soil
in awe my mind made all
it possible
the midnight majesty and celestial gazing
just here right now
on plain
mother earth

Be gentle with one another
the world is harsh enough
Be gentle with one another
think the best without judgment
pass on praise and caring
softer words chosen carefully
Be gentle with one another

Be gentle with yourself
accept your faults and imperfections
Be gentle with yourself
think the best without judgment
Let your spirit be free, your heart peaceful
Be gentle with yourself
listen to the voice inside...
but...

   only when it lifts you.
I  went in a different direction for "be kind".
You'd have to travel far
To get to where we were
Travel back in time to find
The one and only cure
After all these years
I still have no idea
Why it was I said
Or what it was I did

I think about it all the time
The days that were my crime
I need to tell her how I feel
Bring it all to light
For what is ailing me
The pain I must endure
I need to try and find the cure
For the years of missing her

No longer being young
No need to hold my tongue
I need to spill my guts
Stop this playing dumb
Give this heart it's much need rest
Get it off my chest
How can such an emptiness
Be so heavy set

My minds memory
Is in a constant fight
With tooth for a tooth
And eye for an eye
In what is ailing me
All that I must endure
Knowing she's the only cure
For the years of missing her
