Secrets
February 16, 2022 If I could peer into your mind,What’s lurking there that I would find?What stays inside you dare not share,Keep those around you unaware? If you keep secrets locked away,When buried deep they rot, decay.They eat away at … Continue reading
Soothing Comfort
February 14, 2022 You are the balm to soothe my soul,To comfort me as I grow old.You place inside my heart a song.Your warm embrace says I belong. Your Spirit has a home inside,A special place where love abides.For now, … Continue reading
Truth
February 13, 2021 It’s hard to tolerate deceit.I won’t give up, accept defeat.I’ll seek the truth, ignore the lie,So much to learn before I die. When did we stray away from truth,Declare integrity uncouth?The pendulum has swung too far.Deceit will … Continue reading

Discovery
January 30, 2022 I love to discover, see what I can find,On the backroads and byways, not on the main path,And also discover what’s inside my mind,Beyond just technology, science, or math. The year I turned seventy I fell in … Continue reading
Seeking Light
January 24, 2022 A flower blooms in springtime, it sprouts up through the ground.The seedling stays in darkness beneath the winter coldSearching for the sunshine, where only mud is found.The longing breaks the seedling’s shell, it’s heart can then unfold. … Continue reading
A Grudge
January 23, 2022 I’m often quick to hold a grudge.I find it harder to forgive.I know it’s not for me to judge,That’s not the way I want to live. Why is it hard to see the good,And find the words … Continue reading
