You know it’s there
Look, search, find
Dig, dig deeper
Go within
Unearth the impossible
Go on, Dig Deep!

LOVING A TREE
The shade you provide
Protects them from the scorching sun
Your green leaves
Give them fresh breathable air
Your roots
Protect the soil from erosion
Your thick branches
Give beams to make swings
They love you
I think you know
Though they don’t say it
The safety and security
You provide is felt and appreciated.
So, why did they chop me down?
Doubt
I can do this
No, you can’t
But I can
No, you can’t
I think I can
No, you can’t
I can
No, you can’t
Maybe I can’t
Of course you can’t
Maybe you’re right
Of course I am
I think I won’t do this
That is a wise decision
SHUT UP BRAIN!
I WILL DO IT!!!
We Need
We Need
A world of smiling children
We need
A place to call home
We need
A time to call our own
We need
Friends to share our joy
We need
A world where a child can run into the street
And not be knocked down by cars
snatched by strangers
bombed by drones
shot by crazy gun yielding kid
We need…
Random Thoughts
In the light of the morning sun
I look into your eyes
And know that even though you smile
You actually lie
Yearning, wondering
Laughing on the outside but really crying
I want to ask why but i hesitate
You will answer
In your diplomatic non-answering answering way
I don’t know what I can say or do
To make you smile from inside out
It seems everything on earth has surpassed your understanding
And your yearnings ask for more
I can’t give you more
I don’t know what more is
I wish I did or maybe I didn’t
You are not my problem right
Or maybe I am wrong
What if my whole purpose in life is to make you smile?
I wish
Now here maybe tomorrow
I can start maybe
Now I wonder off to the place far off
Where sometimes I go to be alone
Away from you, from them
Alone by myself but not lonely
Alone but not quite
My guide awaits
I am sometimes armoured
With weapons you can’t possibly see
Or maybe you can
If you want, Really want
You can have it too
If you want, if you want.
Time
Yesterday is gone
Today’s around the corner
Tomorrow we’ll see
Witching
Us witches do know
That the witching hour is here
We must go now now
Pitter Patter
Cold wind heavy rain
Johnny’s heart’s broken again
Pitter pitter pat
I Wonder
I often wonder what she does
Everyday all the time
In her room
Never coming out to play
Or run barefoot on the grass
Just typing always pounding
No breaks no tea time
Well except when there’s no sun
If You Say So
So, the earth is round
the sun does not go round the earth
the moon is not another planet
So, I believe angels roam the earth
I believe we each have guides that nudge us
I believe what you call a scientific discovery
is but the awakening of a previous knowledge
So, I think this life is but passing
I’m here for just a little while
I think my home away from here
in the stars is waiting
So, yes gravity exists
yes, for every action,
there is an equal and opposite reaction
and yes, opposites attract
But, I know for sure
in my home base in the belt of Orion
lies ties that bind and yearn
urging me to learn what
I came here to learn
and come on home, quick fast!
