I’m in the air
Floating
Feet not on the ground
Wondering where I am
I’m floating
Not feeling
Not aware of where I’ve been
Or where
I’m meant to be
Just floating
Floating
Floating

These times are so dreadful
I want to cry
Men hurting one another
I say with a sigh

Why can’t we imagine
A world without fear
A place to grow up in
That becomes very dear

But instead we move forward
With daggers in hand
We close up our hearts
And take a firm stand

When instead we could think
Of ourselves as a flow
Of loving pure kindness
And wisdom in tow

Perhaps then we
As a world could evolve
And all of life’s problems
We then surely could solve

Sometimes we meet someone
And wonder
How to connect
And what to say
We want to please
And be thought of
As a good person
And yet
How does one get to know another
Until they have shared
What is important to them
How does one make friends
With someone new
For me
I just want
To be me
And for you
To
Just be
You

I drift
In a swirling world
Finding that my feet
No longer touch the ground
How am I to exist
Without the grounding
The necessary attachment
To the world
And I go elsewhere
Where feet don’t matter
And love guides the way
And my heart swells
And joins in the chorus
Of everlasting
Nothingness

Sometimes, Love is all there is

Poetry
A way to express
All our longings
And misunderstandings
All our fate
And all our lost opportunities
Poetry
The voice
For
All

Please
Don’t worry about my health
I can
Take care of my self
I’ve
Been around the block many times
And am
Still here
The last thing I need
Is a mother
So
Please don’t worry about me
I don’t

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

How is it
That I never knew
The love of a man
In this way
You, my dear
Have settled into my heart
And taken my breath away
Which I gave readily
A long life together
Is in the cards
With anticipation
I await your arrival

I am not the only one
Who has gone through
Extreme abuse
I write
For us all
So all who have lived this
Can know
That there is life
After
Death

I awake in the morning
With a smile on my face
And I wonder and I hope
That this truth
Becomes a reality
I’m blown over
By the rapidity of feelings
And marvel at the beauty
Of it all

I think
Sometimes I really
Think
About life
And about
Sorrow
And happiness
And how to find
Both
In
The same
Life time

Alone again
With the possibility
Of finding myself
And instead
I chose
To find new love

Spring
Where are you
Why have you forsaken  me
Snow lies on the ground
And ice glints in the boughs
Of the heavily laden trees
The sun has hidden
For so many days
And darkness and gloom
Seem to rule our world
I long for the flowers
And the growing buds
On the trees
Now hidden
Under the
Blanket of snow
Rise up dear Spring
Show off your beautiful colours
And remind me
That love
And happiness and joy
Still exist
In this
Darkness

Time seems to have stopped
I look at my watch
And minutes
Feel like hours
I think I have slept
And only minutes have passed
Since I lay
My head down
Minutes, and hours, and days
Drag on
In never ending
Patterns
That keep me
From becoming
Whole
Living each breath
Anticipating
That
Which never comes
Used to be
That days went quickly past
Too quickly
To keep track of
And today
They seem like
The longest days
Of
My life

Alive
Living life
I wonder what it feels like
To be
Actually be
Alive
I try
Lord knows I try
And still
It’s a struggle
To be
Alive

Meant to be stored
The thoughts
And memories
Kept rising to the surface
And I looked
And chose
Those
That were meant
To be kept

I want to say something
And words
Cannot express
What I am feeling
Now
I wish
I could understand
All that exists
Inside of me
And
I
Can’t

Can anyone tell me
What life is about
How we came to this world
Conscious beings on route
To a better time
And a better place
Flowing so strongly
With love and with grace
Tell me please if you can
What path I must take
To know who I am
Can’t make a mistake
Or I’ll have to come back
‘till I get it right
Over and over again
Until I gain insight
I want to know
Yes really to know
Why I came here this time
With lots of crap in tow
And how can I move
Beyond this old stuff
So want to be clear
And say it’s enough
So I think I will pray
In silence of self
Meditate for a while
Take myself off the shelf
And get to know
All of me and no more
Embrace and with love
A pure self at the core

There is so much
Sadness in my heart
I don’t know
Where it comes from
And it feels
So real
Tears almost in my eyes
Dripping down my cheeks
Almost there
And the sadness stops
Creating dis ease
And I want to cry
And
I can’t

My dog
Has a shaggy tail
And the ability
To make me love
All of life
In his innocence
He brings wisdom
To my mind
And
As he shakes his tail
I am reminded
That
Love
Is all
There is

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
