Finding Meaning in the Sun and the Shade.

Category: Written Thoughts

I Never Knew

  I never knew The path I’d take If I’d be pushed or pulled If I’d bend or break I never knew Life would be so hard So magnificent So bruised and scarred I never knew The sadness I’d see The love I’d have How good life could be I never knew What would make… Read More I Never Knew

In Between

  Glasses help you see The writing on the wall But the meaning in between They can’t see at all So, look all you want Study what you see Then slowly close your eyes And see what can’t be seen The thought, feeling, emotion The meaning in between

Lies That Bind

  The people are hungry They hold out their plates But supper’s been served They lined up too late The dogs, they howl Howl at the pale moon It’s a song she’s heard It’s a somber tune The flowers are droopy More petals are lost In the middle of summer They react to the frost… Read More Lies That Bind

Welcome Mat

  The world still spins But what makes her go ‘round In this flurry of chaos With no love to be found On this wild ride Twisting this way and that Our beautiful globe Is starting to fall flat Stamped upon Like a threadbare doormat Humanity wipes their feet And never looks back Still, she… Read More Welcome Mat

Seeds of Change

  Wildflowers bloom In the middle of it all Up from cracked concrete They grow ‘til they fall Scattered by wind Drenched by rain Their cycle of life Is never in vain Wildflowers bloom To spread seeds of change

  We don’t always speak We don’t always listen There are many things For years we’ve been missing Each other’s truths All the hurts, the fears The unheard voices Traveling, years and years To reach the ears That are ready to hear

A Soul’s Archive

  Who can hang a price tag On another’s work of art Only they know The toll paid from their heart The number of beats Spent to make that piece The idea of it all That just wouldn’t cease Until their vision Finally came alive In a work of art Forever to survive As a… Read More A Soul’s Archive

Magic Pill

  There’s no magic pill To ease what’s wrong But a few things Will help us stay strong Faith, hope, peace, And a whole lotta love A prayer For a blessing from above An understanding heart When all is done

The Sky is Falling

The sky is falling Clouds are closing in They will not listen To the howling wind Heavy and stubborn Stuck in their ways They only know How to darken days Rain or shine Dusk or dawn Come they will Where they don’t belong The sky is falling Yet, we are strong
