Bench

Seek and ye
shall find go
forth and conquer
but what about
us who prefer
to sit on
a bench and
watch the sunset
or children play
or listen to
the song of
laughter from faraway

Blessed

My one hope 
for all those
who’ve left my
side is that
they each will
find their own
brand of peace
and happiness and
if they don’t
then at least
they will continue
to find courage
to persist their
pursuit of it

Myself

If anything I’ve 
been looking for
it’s come to
the end of
that and the
beginning of this
for that brought
security at the
presence of another
and this peace
at the solitude
of just myself

Early

Too early to 
wait I will
just for what
I don’t know
maybe a sign
signal or sound
a beep bleep
a light touch
or heavy thump
of some lump
coming to life

Dreams

Dreams don’t happen 
they sprout and
spread and bloom
once gained their
blossoms are gathered
into beautiful bouquets
tied with ribbons
given to others
but first seed
a wish for
that and then
