Worth A Million Words
the burden of
potential lifted
worth a million words
in and of itself
inspiration spurs
me onward
searching for
the magic in
each chosen word

Yesterday's Pain
she stands at the window
cheek pressed to the pane
while the last trace of summer
becomes drenched in the rain
her eyes are set
in a ghastly stare
while the day wears on
but she doesn't care
there is work to be done
which she hasn't begun
and she takes a deep breath
then begins to hum
slowly the evening arrives
and trying hard not to cry
she sighs wishing
that she weren't alive
and she knows that
tomorrow will be the same
for all she can feel
is yesterday's pain

A Better Place
my heart is strongly set
to do what good i can do
and when i leave this world
i hope to have made a difference
to have made the world
a better place in my own way
even if it is in a small way
by having tried to be kind
to all whose path has crossed mine
by treating others with respect
helping those in need of encouragement
to reach their goals
or perhaps by writing something
that helps someone in some fashion
if i have accomplished this
then i have completed my souls work

A Friend In Nature
I've found a friend in nature
although nature could turn on me
if i'm out and about in a storm
and its lightning strikes me
if a tidal wave sweeps me far out to sea
or a poisonous snake takes a bite of me
if a tornado twirls me high into the sky
yes, the irony is that nature which
i find so enchanting
could one day cause my demise
