I think everyone should create;
Sing, dance, draw, write
Paint, build, weave, invent
You’re the only one who can shine your light.

Our most difficult task is to live in the present
Yes, this must be our most difficult task
To live truly free, from the angst of the future
All chains broken, from the links of the past
Our most pressing issue, our deepest concern
Our happiness well, the love for which we yearn
All here in the present, waiting for us
Though it is difficult, meet there we must
The only place where God exists
The here, the now, a heavenly bliss
While all the world serves to distract
To live in the present, our most difficult task.
I write, to find out what I know
Life is but a circus, and you have just one show
Is there more than meets the eye?
Is your audience watching a lie?
I write, to find out what I know
I write, to find out who I am
The Universe’s an endless beach, and you one speck of sand
Have you lost yourself among the others?
Surrounded by your friends and lovers
I write, to find out who I am
I write, to share the love within
A shining light above the crowds that fill a sea of sin
They say you get back what you give
If you had one day left to live
I write, to share the love within
Breaking up is hard to do
Especially with a guy like you
Who’s smart and funny
Tender loving
Always tough to say it’s through
I wonder why we started at all
Raising you up, just to let you fall
Silly me, it’s always me
You tried and failed
to climb my wall
Zipper locked and stored away
Not even I know how to play
the game of love with my own heart
I try and try until it falls apart
This time it’s not you, it’s me
No matter how contrite that seems
You, you’ll find the woman of your dreams
And I’m just sorry that it wasn’t me

So cute and cuddly
How I’m blessed by such a thing
A fuzzy ball of fur and joy
Who gives me cause to sing
A funny little love bug
Who stares at me for clues
Yet in his eyes, I see No Thing
‘Cause in his eyes, is You.
A poem on loss. For all those who have lost someone you love and wondered if you will ever get to see them again.
“I Simply Can’t Be Convinced”
I can’t be convinced I won’t see him again.
I simply can’t be convinced.
I feel him all around me
His very breath awakens my sixth sense.
I wonder when you’re so entwined
And someone you love passes through
If a part of them stays left behind
Running like veins inside of you
Not only is he all around me,
Stitching my wounds with his personal thread
He’s watching me as I sleep soundly,
Filling my dreams and emptying my head.
I know that I can’t see him
I understand that he’s no longer here
But by God did I believe him
When he said, “I’ll see you soon, my dear.”
The last words that we spoke in person
But our souls whisper every day
I just close my eyes
See his face
Hear his voice
And
Pray.
If the human mind
from its inception
is deceitful in all
of its recollections,
then the human eyes,
which form perception,
must constitute the
greatest deception.
Suffering is
the dark cloud
that produces tears
like
rain
watering the flower
of compassion,
enabling it
to
grow.
