Running running
So hard to keep  up
With life
Ever going
Always doing
This way and that
Filling in gaps
Busy schedule
Have to go
Have to do
Have to
STOP
And smell
The roses

How does one describe exquisite pain
The longing for the love
That sustains us all
The wanting to be in touch
With the God power
That exists within
Each and every one of us
With tears in my eyes
I remember the moments
When we were together
In sweet bliss
And I long
For those  times
To be ever with me

I’m at the bottom of a hole
Sitting on the floor
Feeling as low as the concrete slab
I’m sitting on
I don’t know how I got here
Or how to get out
So..I just sit
And feel, and long for more
What could possibly
Have placed me here
And the strength I need to climb out
Just isn’t there
So I sit, and wait, and feel
And time goes by
And nothing gets done
And I’m still sitting
Cold
On the hard concrete
At the bottom of a hole
Hoping
Just hoping
That someone will come along
With a rope
And help me out
And
It doesn’t happen
So again
Here am I
Alone
Sitting on the cold concrete
Waiting
Until
Just until
I can pull my self
Out

There’s a word that’s come
Into my head
Have to learn the meaning
Have to put it to bed
It takes over my thoughts
Has me concerned
Don’t know what to make of it
Don’t know if I’ve learned
I’m certainly concerned
That I’ll use it wrong
Maybe put it on paper
Make it into a song
It’s mindful, considerate
And caring too
Use it wrong and I’ll find that I’m
Inside  a zoo
So thinking so carefully
Eager with fear
Not sure what to do
And feeling quite queer
So….

I’ll repeat the dear word
Again and again
Solicitous, Solicitous
And now I am sane

The power is out
What shall I do
I’m in the dark
I have no clue
Why it is out
Or when I’ll see
The lights go on
In light I’ll be

The dogs are batty
They’re scratching the door
If I had kids
They’d be on the floor

What do we do
When the lights go out
How do we live
And walk about

I can’t cook supper
Or read a book
I’m on my computer
The power they took

Not time for bed
Or lying around
What do I do
With no light on the ground

Oh hum, o gee
I can sit and stare
Oh my, can’t see
Is that a bear

Please, come on soon
Can’t wait much more
Maybe it’s time to think
About going out the door

Oh yes, I think
It’s coming back
Ok, never mind
I can unpack

Today
Yes today
The day I live in
Forgetting about the past
Or the future
I want to
Live in the today
That I am
Creating

Have you ever played the game
Of hide and seek
With
Yourself
Have you ever felt
Like you want to
Start all over again
In a different way
What would you do differently
I kind of like
My life
Even though
It can get pretty lonely
And the only one
I have to talk with
Is
Myself
If I could change
Anything
In my life
I think I would
Be kinder
And more loving
To
My
Self
