TUNES IN NATURE
OR FOLK
HERITAGE
OLD WAYS
AND SIMPLY
BEING
SOOTH
DURING A
TURMOIL
OF A WHIRLWIND
MY PAIN
IS CONSTANT
BUT I DO MY
BEST TO IGNORE IT
LIKE TODAY
I GOT UP
DRANK COFFEE
AND
WALKED A MILE
AND A HALF
TO DO ERRAND
I HURT
ALL THE WAY
THERE
AND BACK
BUT I DID IT
CUS I NEED TO
ONE BEING
NEAR TREES
NEAR DEER
NEAR SQUIRRELS
NEAR BIRDS
NEAR WATER
AND TODAY
AS I WALKED
OVER THE BRIDGE
THIS KID
DOWN ON THE TRAIL
STARTED
DRUMMING
ON THE LIGHT POST
WITH TWO STICKS
HE MIGHT
HAVE BEEN 4
LOL
IT MADE ME SMILE
WHICH
WAS NEEDED
CONSIDERING
THE MESS
THAT IS CURRENT
SO IT GAVE
ME A MOMENT
TO LET GO
NO MATTER
WHAT
WHILE THERE
DOING ERRAND
I FORGOT
SOMETHING
SO I GRABBED
AND GOT
ON BUS
THEN WENT
OH I FORGOT
THE REASON
I WENT OUT
FOR ERRAND
SIGH
BUT GOT
KID TO BRING
IT CUS
ONCE HOME
I COULDN’T
PHYSICALLY
GO AGAIN
I PAINTED
IN A ART CHALLENGE
TODAY
AND WILL DO
A MASTER CLASS
WATERCOLOUR
THING TOMORROW
ONLINE
SO I AM
CONTINUING
TO BE ME
AND BEING
SOME DAYS
ITS HARD
NO LIE
IT CAN BE
VERY HARD
BUT AS A FRIEND
SAID
YESTERDAY
ONE WORD
IT GAVE ME
THE STRENGTH
“WILL”
SO YEAH
I CAN HAVE
THE MOST
DETERMINATION
OUT THERE
AND PUSH
WHEN THERE
IS NO WAY
TO OR ODDS
STACKED
AGAINST ME
ITS JUST
MY BLOOD
IT WON’T
GIVE UP
AND I TRY
TO BE WISE
ABOUT IT
AND NOT
OVER DO IT
THATS WHY
I RODE BUS
BACK
AND NOT ATTEMPTED
THE WALK BACK
THAT WOULD
HAVE BEEN
FOOLISH
UNDER THIS PAIN
THE LITTLE THINGS
MATTER SO MUCH
EVEN
THOUGH
MY CAT
IS BEING
A PAIN
SHE IS ALSO
HERE
TO KEEP ME
MOTIVATED
LIKE
IN THE MORNING
SHE MEOWS
TIL I WAKE UP
LOL
AND GETS MAD
AT ME IF
I GO BACK
TO BED LOL
BEING
YES I WORRY
LORD DO I WORRY
BUT I FIND
A WAY
SOMEHOW
CUS WE HAVE TO
EVEN IF
ITS JUST
LISTENING
TO A HANG DRUM
BEAT
OR A PIANO TUNE
OR A HARP
OR JUST A SOUND
IT RAISES ME
UP
THERE IS
NO COMPARISON
AND TO
A FRIEND
THAT NEEDS
I AM OK
SMILE
I AM STILL HERE
SOME DAYS
I WONDER
WHEN
OTHERS
I TRY NOT
TO THINK ON IT
IT IS WHAT IT IS
BUT WE CAN’T
DWELL IN
DARKNESS
THEN WE
BECOME
DARKNESS
SO I LET
IT GO
AND FOCUS
WHERE I CAN
TO GET
THROUGH
EACH DAY
BEING
FOR THE TRUTH
OUT WAYS
EVERYTHING
AND IT WILL
ALWAYS
SHINE THROUGH
DESPITE
IT ALL
I AM GLAD
TO BE ALIVE
AS I AM
HERE
CUS
IT IS
WORTH WHILE
I SHARE
I CREATE
I BE ME
AND JUST
BE
IMPERFECT
AND ALL
AS LONG AS
POSSIBLE
IF I CAN
CREATE
ONE THING
IN THESE
MOMENTS
GIVEN
THEN
I AM HAPPY
NO MATTER
WHAT THAT
CREATING
IS
THAT
TO BE HUMAN
IS LOVE
IS LIFE
IS LIGHT
IS THE
MOST
PRECIOUS
THING
THERE IS
AND
SOMETIMES
I THINK
HUMANITY
IS LOSING
THAT
SIGH
WHEN ONE
THING
ENDS
SOMETHING
ELSE
BEGINS
THAT IS
THE WAY
OF THINGS
SO
MAY YOU
ALL
ENJOY
JUST BEING
...
