Wondering About Myself 04/04/07 Sometimes I wonder how I would be as a ship. Would I withstand the storms of life To reach silent waters And my destination of life. Or would I go under in the slightest winds. Would my body be strong enough to withstand The onslaught of high waves. Would my sails get torn apart Or take the wind as it comes To carry me on. Sometimes I wonder how I would be as a tree. Would my roots go deep enough To drink the water deep in the earth To let my leaves grow green. And then would my roof give Shadow and shelter from sun and rain To those who depend on it. Would I bear fruit enough To feed the needy around me. Or would I crumble to ruin In the storms of life. Sometimes I wonder how I would be as a house Would my foundations and walls Withstand an earthquake, Would they protect the ones That sought shelter inside. Or would they be weak And bury all live underneath When they fall to rubble. Would I be warm and comfortable inside Or cold and uninviting. Sometimes I wonder how I am as a human being. Am I warm, tolerant, loving And strong enough. Am I as good as I could be? Sometimes I really wonder

Lost Love 05/04/07 You said I was your angel, That's all you want me to be, I said it can not happen There's too much of a human in me. Each day you sent me letters, Oh, how amazing the words The words now mean nothing to me They have turned to swords. You said you loved me dearly As loved I had never been From the day I showed my human side You were never to be seen You said you couldn't love someone Who's not happy every day But sometimes something happens That turns me the other way. You said you could not cope with me When I needed you the most Your love and understanding And now forever it is lost The day you could not cope with me You turned around and said To all your friends that were around A new love you have met. Now I sit here, a knife in my heart That you come to turn each day It hurts so much that I do wish You just would go away. Since you don't go it is my turn I leave and wish you well But you can bet, I'll never forget The day you sent me to hell. So I go away to take a break And leave my tears to dry I will be back when my time has come Until then it is good bye.

Friend 06/08/07 You came into my life, An angel of light, Just when I needed you. You listen to me, Not to my words, But to my feelings. You are with me, Always understand What I'm not saying. You make me laugh When I'm sad and lonely, And I do the same for you. Two lonely souls, Meeting out there somewhere Where nobody can watch them. There is no disturbance In the hearts and lives Of friends like us.

Melodies 03/09/08 The harp called soul Is a tricky instrument to play. Every change of mood Requires new tuning. From a chorus of joy To a chord of mourning In a heartbeat. My favorite place to play Is in the woods, Where the harmony of nature Is leading my hands, No change of mood, Only pleasure. These tunes are joyful Like the singing of birds, The humming of bees, The chirping of insects The rustling of leaves And the swaying of grass In a summer breeze. There are other places Where I don't like to go Where every note Is hurt and pain Crying and moaning. I go there anyway Because sometimes I think My tune might make a change I like to go to places Where I find other instruments Each one of them soulful Playing an individual tune When we play together Each its own melody Then my soul rejoices In perfect harmony

Confusion 04/09/08 My heart is full, overflowing The thoughts in my mind Are like the butterflies I can feel in my stomach. I'm lost and I'm found I'm happy and sad I feel something And it isn't too bad A life in limbo In the hell of fear Something touches me Precious and dear I felt it before, I know its feel I wish I could hold it In a life without tears

The Cat 05/28/08 I have a cat, and she is a pet At least for most of the time But when she starts her bawling I want to commit a crime When she starts her bawling She does it day and night But I do need my beauty sleep You'll understand my plight Though the cat is neutered She still goes into heat And I have to get quick to the vet Her needs for pills to meet She started bawling on Monday I had no time to go I pledged to her if she don't stop Out of the window I will her throw She still was bawling Tuesday I had no sleep all night And I started shouting at her And sure she got a fright Wednesday I took the time And marched her to the vet Since then she has taken her measure of pills And now she's again a real pet
