Some just can’t stay
It’s a lesson learned
Likely as a child
For me it was
Spike a roughhousing cat
Why he had to
Go I’ll never know
And throughout my life
Others followed him to
Where I’ll never know
But as I age
I do know this
That wherever they have
Gone that I will
Too one day follow
I write to understand
Thoughts have no form
They swirl and spin
Dodge coalesce and dissolve
Words are my landfall
Where sirens and storms
Come to a stop
When after I read
Now it makes sense
I can breathe again
I’m going to be
Quiet peaceful and calm
Said the water to
The sea I’ve done
As you have asked
And touched the land
I don’t like it
It’s hard and cold
Always in the way
And life runs away
From me home I’m
Wishing to go where
At least I’m free
I’m not really sure
Why time does this
But it heals wounds
Scrape bang or bruise
Time does shoo away
Even the deepest cut
Not to be hidden
By a soft dressing
Love needs to breathe
In order to bleed
Seconds hours or days
Do help to cauterize
Oh that Zelensky
We see you
A lion’s heart
A dove’s soul
And eagle’s vision
Protective and strong
Peaceful and calm
Cunning and determined
Oh Mr. Zelensky
The world sees
What Putin cannot
One single man
Followed by others
We are proud
Of you Ukraine
