i'm sorry if it seems
as if i'm not all here
i've worked hard
at always being here
and i'm done
with wanting
you to notice
that i'm
alone
with you
alone
but you are here
and i'm alone
this seems a surprise
somehow now
now that i
don't care
so i'm sorry
that you
will now
be
alone

imagine being higher than a kite
with emotions overwhelming you
imagine feeling loved
more than
you can imagine
joy, fullness, amazement
contentment, peace, love
harmony
imagine never having to
search  for that feeling,
that it's always there with you
always
a warm loving embrace
in the middle of your day
in the dark of the night
whenever you need it
imagine having someone
to talk to
about everything
that matters in your life
and imagine that someone
will always give you
direction
when you need it
imagine on your worst days,
during your lowest moments,
your most tired times....
being picked up and lifted
if you can imagine all this
then you have imagined
the love that only one
can provide for you
always when you need it
that is
the love
of God.

we are so
different
we come from
completely different
places
we have
very different
views
on many
different
things
so,
where does
the love
come from
it's
simply
heart
and
soul

a strong
confidence
****
intelligence
way with words
how you tell
a story
captivate me
and hold my
interest
the desire to
hear more
know more
feel more
of you
is
what makes
me miss
you most

There is a little birdie
who sits atop a tree,
right near my bedroom window
He's very close to me.

Every morning I can hear him
as he winds up with a song,
the only problem to me
is the song is way too long!

Not only is it too long,
it's the same song every day,
Although he thinks it playful
I'd rather he not stay!

i've tried to
get your
attention
you look the
other way

i've reached for
your hand
you don't move

i've put myself
in your arms
you act
surprised

you wonder why
i'm not
reaching
trying
speaking
sharing
anymore

well....
don't

Where do we go from here....
      Constantly living in fear
            Why is our world in danger so much.....
                   Leaving everyone shedding a tear?

Who can we trust today.....
      When did things become this way.....
             How do we live a fearless life,
                   Pretending everything is okay.

Do not go out alone....
       Before dark you should be home-
              Lock all your doors, turn on the lights,
                    You live in a danger zone.

With prayers someday we'll be free....
        of a worriesome life, you'll see.....
                Free to take a walk alone again
                       in a world make for you and me.
written again, in the 90's before our tragic 9/11.
