Write about
The love
You're shown
To keep a
Record
All your own,
And when you're
Done, and
Looking back,
Memories
Come
Flooding back.

Night Light

Light the dark
Around you
With some daylight
Or a phone call -
With some music
Or a letter.
Just don't let it
Have you.
So even though
We go
Against our very
Human nature
Running for
Darkness,
Craving hunger,
Know that
There is still
Light to be sought.
So reach out,
Don't let darkness fill you.

Results

You showed your scars
With pride tonight.
You went out and did
What's right.
So pride and love
Are what I feel
When I watch
And miss you,
That's what real
Talent is.
You can't mess
With this.
You are the
Ones
Producing
Results
With your heart,
Your hands,
And your feet.

Measuring Up

What is there
To say
When everything's
Been said?
When all that's
Left are
Broken hearts -
A sick and
Silent dread?
When they ask
What I did,
Can I back it up?
Or will I just
Never
Be quite enough?

This Time Around

I don't even know
How to put into words
All these things
I feel.
And when it comes
Down to it
I don't even know
What I feel
Except frustration
And disappointment
And a level of
Numbness
I never encountered
Until this time
Around.

Aftershock

How did this
Become my reality?
Where I simply exist
To hold my breath
And wait
For you to come
To your
Senses?

Found Out

Truth
Is found,
But you
Are hidden
In the darkness
Of disease.
So now
I wait
And pray
For safety,
While the
Monster in you
Preys,
And you
Simply
Close your eyes
To the
Destruction.

Missing This

What is missing?
What is here?
What was lost
And once held dear?
What is beauty?
What is joy?
What is the truth
You need employed?
Can I see it?
Do I need it?
Should I seize it?
Or do I leave it
All behind -
To be like
What's missing
In my mind?

Location Reaction

Happiness is
Where we choose
To find it
And how we decide
To react to
Our circumstances.

Circles

What do I know
About anything?
What can I do
With what
I know?
Will it change
Anything -
This great
Awakening -
That I wish upon
You, but you will not
Grasp?
I can only pray
That you will find
Strength, so you
Will not lose
What's fading
Fast.

Yet Untold

A story is
Inside of me
Begging
To be told.
If I can get
A hold
Of it -
I'll write it
For the world -
Or just for me.
It doesn't matter
As long as I shatter
My own expectations
And raise my own bar.

Perfect

Brownie days
And book days
Ice-hanging-in-the-tree
Days.
Simple and content
Days -
Days just like today.

Opening Ceremonies

Anthem sung
And people cheering
Nations announced -
The people dancing.
French is spoken -
Cultures representing
I feel proud
Of countries walking
Across the stage
With flags waving
I can't wait to
Watch this winter
And get to see
What will transpire.

Bus Tour

Get on a bus
And go as far as
You can
Until God says
To move.
Get on the road
And start to help
And never stop.

Kinds Of Prayers

Prayers for
Health, and
Prayers for
Comfort.
Prayers for deliverance -
And valiant effort.
Prayers for children
And their parents -
Prayers for aunts
Uncles and cousins
Prayers for healing
Or acceptance.
Prayers for willingness
To let this.

Time-Crunch

I need to write
This quickly
Now
Before I go
To bed
Somehow
So that I can
Remember
Still
What I had
And always
Will.

Cliff Notes

Just hold on
A little longer,
One more minute -
One more hour.
Don't succumb to
Your own darkness,
But reach out
For the light.
And if you can't
Then let us pray
For strength and peace
To come your way
So you will stay
And journey on,
Finding more beauty
To look upon.

Reminiscing

I remember
Times gone by
When you were young
And I was too.
Life was simpler
Love was with us
And us with you.

Reflecting

The end of the day
Is here again
And I'm fulfilled
And blessed.
Trying to remember
To always be grateful,
No matter what
Comes next.
So trust and rejoice
Regardless of sorrow
And you can be sure
You're watched over always.
