Just yesterday I forgot where I’d been Asked where I’m going If not now, when? ~ Only Today I turned another page Counted lost seconds And continued to age ~ Maybe tomorrow I’ll find out why One day I laughed Then another day cried ~ In moments replayed Behind closed eyes
The journey is long As the mountain is high But to see the setting sun Paint the dusky sky ~ Is a well-earned reward At the completion of a day It’s a boost of encouragement Renewed strength to find the way ~ Through the twists and turns Of a precarious path Too narrow to… Read More Painted Sky

Some days Float like a feather – airy and free From seconds to hours Not a worry will be ~ Some days Sink like a rock – heavy and cold Each tick of the clock Lies begin to take hold ~ Some days Are neither of these Just moments Somewhere in between
