Whatever has happened was supposed to happen

Whatever will happen must happen

Make it happen

I’m at the gate
Waiting, bright is the house

On the boundary I lean
Seeing the happy, smiling people at home

Does anyone notice, I’m calling
Was I ever there

Here I am in the dark, silent
please

I’m cold, my legs getting tired

How much longer can I stand
Alone looking in

Does anybody see me
What’s wrong with me

I would like to say hello
My voice is gone

It’s been so long
They’ve moved on

Forgotten

The chirping goes on and on
As gentle rain showers fall
Hunters in the moonlight prowl
Everything grows silent now
Then slowly one by one they go
As soon as danger has past
Till once again across the meadow
That chorus of crickets grow
Moaning that late summer sorrow
Unseen into darkness bellows
When our eyes rest our ears follow
September's gathering clans
Till a mind rests as one of them
Growing sleepy in the hollows
Till first frost spoil all their plans
When growing winds will whistle
Across the tops of drying thistles
Till that first soft blanket of snow

The strength of a man is not seen in the width of his shoulders, it is seen in the width of arms that surround him.
A man's strength is not in the deep tone of his voice. It is in the delicate words you whisper.
A man's strength is not measured by how many friends he has. It is measured in how good a friend you are with your children.
A man's strength is not how he is respected at work. It is in how it is respected at home.
A man's strength is not in the hair on his chest. It is in the heart within your chest.
A man's strength is not in how many women he has loved. It is whether he can truly love a woman.
A man's strength is not in how hard he hits. It's how lovingly he touches.
A man's strength is not in the weight he can lift. It is in the burden that you can understand and overcome.

Gone as the colors faded
The cold clouds departed
Cast in shadows is the darkness
Where no mind rests as much as death

Where have all the rainbows gone
When morning weeps like tears
As black as blue becomes
So becomes life without you
As gray as day becomes night
I’m begging you to come home

Old were the bones
Found washed up
On the shore
Lost in the sea
Many years ago
Long after was life
Was empty of light
Buried under sand
No longer cold
As the deep sea
Now basking in the sun
Lying on the beach
Next to me once more

I find myself in this same old place
Feeling way old my usual space

Been here before almost all of my life
Thinking what ifs and feeling like mice

Deadly that silence lurking by shadows
Creeps closer and closer knight arming the gallows

Quiet all around, echo in place
She sounds bright siren sets thunder bolts grace

Voice through void hear pitch clear my love my baby
Accepting my fate, the risk I had to take maybe

Moments with you a martyr lay wait
Can nothing a pedestal I make

Holding with might, the night forsake
Feeling no warmth, a fear I hate

Toughing cold haste still see by blur
Truth sinking feeling abandoned by her

Now all that is left is odor heaven scent
A waking nightmare, tear locked eyes ever bent

Sitting and staring most of time
Pain through the window false whish for my sign

Drops of pure light slice thought face key, memory smile fill, shimmer of three
Avoiding green stew anger to follow stabbing my gut another to be

Spinning in circles loop pity forever
Infinite sadness thick chocking despair disables together

Need to escape unable to move lost in self-doubt, man fits bill
Cornered by loneliness trapped by worlds no sign will

Locked universal a partner be
Hurt waves break tide she is set free

No need to pretend a love once me
Knowing full well you were taking the key

Often, I wonder life probability seen
Patient I delay stepping in stars beam

Scatter and fall light actors final play
I hope one day another might stray

Feeding my love, I will give it away
Not to long now I rock and sway

Whispers lips close soft get near
Transfixed by her gaze kiss tilted neck here

Moving as one unable to fake
I say night mantra, miss you and need you forever future soul mate

What is simple anymore
Long paddles down rocky shorelines
Light winds and little waves
Cedar roots clinging to life
Struggling to survive
Solitude and nature
Strength and struggles
Clinging to life, clinging to hope
A piece of bone or pottery
Long discarded
A long time ago
Washed smooth
A once jagged edge
Worn down by time
Resting in the sand

I’ve played with glass marbles, they’re black as black gets...
Cracked down their middles....and right through their backs...
Chained to long nights backed with painful cold-sweats...
I’ll bet that these pains are the best I’ve met yet...

Although I do know, though I don’t......will I grow?...
The best of me.....that person I’ve never known...
And while cracks remain, time has maintained what’s stained...
Strained cracks in black glass back and reaps what’s been sown....

Endless summer skies
Sunny days so blue
Seagulls laugh and cries
Circling overhead flew
Sailboats racing for a prize
Mayor’s Cup will bring to
Building sand castles rise
Claims the sea in a coup
Loneliness a new disguise
If only we ever knew
Love never born never dies
Drifts in and out of view
The sun will always rise
Its light will shine through
Solitude makes us wise
One and one makes two
Endless summer skies
Sunny days so blue
