I have found
That in life
Being you the
You that you
Were meant to
Be is less
Scary than being
What you’re not
Celebrate you every
Day because it’s
Your uniqueness that
God breathed into
Your soul on
The special day
You were born
Month: July 2021
Treehouse
Alone at last
Now attractive like
The litters runt
People want me
But I’m hidden
Like a tide
Pool crab under
An outcrop of
Rock alone again
And private like
A child retreating
To his treehouse
Dawn
The sky begins
To glow like
A child’s face
Spying upon presents
Early morning stars
Begin to disappear
Like Autumnal leaves
Leaving the trees
Barren ready for
Winter cars zoom
By with workers
Off to jobs
Like paper boys
Delivering the daily
News this early
Wishing
I spy a
Star no wait
It doesn’t twinkle
It could be
The space station
But upon it
Cannot I still
Wish oh astronauts
Make my wish
Come true bring
Me a man
Here on earth
Upon to love
Wandering
Unable to sleep
I wander through
The darkness wondering
Like a child
Lost far from
Home what this
Day will bring
Faeries or monsters
On I plod
Uncertain of steps
But knowing that
Each on brings
Me closer to
The place that
I call home
