You are the hero
You’ve been looking for.
Waxing poetic on thoughts, theory & the times
You are the hero
You’ve been looking for.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
–Martin Luther King Jr.
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. ”
— James Baldwin
All night with the owl,
Or calling early morning with the crow,
Midday butterflies at play,
Caterpillar on journey,
Seagull in a strange land,
Dragonfly showing opal wings,
Or my familiar dog
And coy cute cat friends,
At the zoo
-From exhibit to exhibit;
At the store
-A smile from a friend I’ve yet to meet;
Alone on the beach
-With the ocean and breeze;
Or the middle of the night…
And oh yes! –Solitary moth,
I remember you!
(I never forgot),
No,
I have never,
Even “in my darkest hour”,
Ever
Been
“alone.”
Songs of the troubadour
Give me false pangs of hope
For a love that is not
Mine to call my own
Written 2003
Sweet dreamer
The tears you have cried
Are prayers
Each one
Don’t hold them inside
Hope for the future
Let go of the past
Your day will soon come
This pain will not last
Hold tight to your dreams
And though you may cry
Live for today
Tomorrow you’ll fly
