i wish and i hope
and i want and i expect
but reality does not become
any clearer
07/2020:
it turns out that time
plus a big dose of hard work
mixed with some soul searching
provided the clarity i was lacking

it turns out that time
plus a big dose of hard work
mixed with some soul searching
provided the clarity i was lacking
and i wait
and i wait
and i wait
on someone else to bring me happiness
oh dear heart
when will you take it for yourself
you can be strong
you can love again
you don’t have to believe
because you are
life is a bouquet of flowers
don’t let the sharp prick of thorns
keep you from appreciating the beauty
smell the sweet fragrance of possibility
i’ve sat stalled at these tracks
knowing that all I have to do
is put pen to paper
fingers to keys
and the words will just flow out
they’ll cascade around me
rushing and swarming
spilling and spitting
yarning the tale of these past few weeks
of promise
of hope
of deceit
of lies
but most of all of renewal
this is my month to clean
scrape the cobwebs from my mind
fast the sugars from my limbs
absorb the sunshine on my brow
finally sit down in this chair
and write

who are we to thwart the universe
she had a grand design before we took a breath
our momentary worries are fleeting
but our higher purpose is eternal
dont get caught up in what is happening today
trust that putting one foot in front of the other
is all we can do as our destiny unfolds
welcome to my journey
i hope that it brings you solace
as you embark upon your own
