You’re Not Alone
For anyone
Who’s ever felt alone
You’re not alone
If I could sit beside you
Right now I would
If I could sing this to you
I would
It’s Going to Be Alright

The Value of a Penny
There once was a penny, it was shiney and new
Someone threw it into a fountain and their dreams came true
I saw it lying in the street the day I first met you
And suddenly all my gray skies then turned to blue
I carried that penny in my pocket for many years
Through all our trials and all my tears
I held it in my hands when I said my prayers
Then dropped it to the floor when my dreams turned to nightmares
It rolled underneath the bed and has remained out of sight
Until I was vacuuming and found it the other night ...
Someone threw it into a fountain and their dreams came true
I saw it lying in the street the day I first met you
And suddenly all my gray skies then turned to blue
I carried that penny in my pocket for many years
Through all our trials and all my tears
I held it in my hands when I said my prayers
Then dropped it to the floor when my dreams turned to nightmares
It rolled underneath the bed and has remained out of sight
Until I was vacuuming and found it the other night ...

N.I.C.E. Guys Do Finish Last
Since we're bastardizing words
Thru the warped lens of revisionist history
Allow me to throw my entry into the
Reimagined Social Contract
^^^^^
Because I've made a conscious decision long ago to
Keep Love in my Heart and God in my Spirit
I did my Human best to stay close to my Original self
Learned how to forgive myself
Make an accord with my Deamons
And cultivate a true Love for what it is to be
...

Wayward Poets
Someone goes out early, every morning
to make sure that the welcome mat
is free of leaves
Or during winter, of snow
There's a key, under the mat, but
the door has never been locked
There's always someone
coming or going
To this old, white concrete house
atop the edge of a cliff
-Looks like a fingernail at the end
of a crackled finger
of the old man mountain
Pointing down towards the valley
Those that look up, thinking
is it choosing me
But it's not a path
for the weak hearted
...

Empty Trees
The setting sun made the final clinging leaves
shine like dangling red jewels.
The scarlet shimmer infused my imagination
with creative fuel
Trees are not like people,
they don't feel empty.
Why do we grieve for that
which cannot be retrieved?
Barren branches know.
It's so much easier just to let go.
Creation always finds a way to grow.

No Ordinary Daisy
The daisy lay tattered
Among blades of grass taller than she
Her petals wilted and worn
Seemingly destroyed
Yet, she lay as if placed gently
The sun, perplexed
Gazed upon the daisy
Her stem curled
Her petals worn thin, nearly translucent
A few plucked from her body
Lay scattered nearby
The grass, imprinted with tiny hollows
Snaked away from the tiny daisy
The sun, with a full schedule
Had to get on with the business of illuminating the world
She made mental note to keep...
Among blades of grass taller than she

Lay scattered nearby
The grass, imprinted with tiny hollows
Snaked away from the tiny daisy

That’s Why…
If you ever needed proof
That your words affect
The world
This is the message I received tonight
Words don’t have to be weapons
Words can do so much more
They’ve saved my life
This is the DM:
How about this
Sent 22nd October 2024 4:57pm
Since you, I’ve learned not to hold on so tight
That your words affect
The world
This is the message I received tonight
Words don’t have to be weapons
Words can do so much more
They’ve saved my life
This is the DM:

Growth
That winter was such a captivating cold.
Behold the blankness of the world.
The weight of peace
silently thrashes and swirls.
My heart sheds it's stone.
After an eternity of being alone.
Stark white globs of snow.
Form an amazing assault
on flaunting trees below.
A treacherous path faces my determination.
A mix of frenzied fear and energized elation.
What lies ahead is caressed by clouds.
Softer become my raging doubts.
The right path is often the hardest.
A test.
And with grace and growth we are...
Behold the blankness of the world.
The weight of peace
silently thrashes and swirls.
My heart sheds it's stone.
After an eternity of being alone.
Stark white globs of snow.
Form an amazing assault
on flaunting trees below.
A treacherous path faces my determination.
A mix of frenzied fear and energized elation.
What lies ahead is caressed by clouds.
Softer become my raging doubts.
The right path is often the hardest.
A test.
And with grace and growth we are...

Feeling
May be the hardest job
You ever have
But at the end of the day
You can look back
And say
I DID THAT
And not one person
Can tell you
That you did it wrong
You ever have
But at the end of the day
You can look back
And say
I DID THAT
And not one person
Can tell you
That you did it wrong

JUDGING A POEM
I
Confess that I am among
the innumerable souls that
dare to venture into the magical
and amazing world of writing
and reading poetry.
I
use to try to write and judge
poems by syntax, grammar,
and all the rules Mrs. Know it All
taught in English 301.
I
use to read the great and
well known poets and conclude
that "I might as well forget trying
to write even a simple poem."
THEN
after years of silence but still
in the corner of my heart there
was the urge to write something,
maybe even...

The Gifts You Have Given Me
Lost Viking,
I embrace your every word
For within each one i have found
The gifts of acceptance and connection
Your words have given me hope
When I needed it the most
Causing me to be glad I'm alive
What greater blessing could there be
Than that of knowing that not only
Do you get me but you are moved by my own words.
Thank you for making my heart smile so big.
