Things that I see.

Things that I see
There are things I know
and I don't know why.
As I struggle to understand,
the reasons just fly.
I know some things are
because they just are.
I know some things will be,
like the nighttime star.

There are things I see

and I don't know how.

Although, I find the truth

makes knowledge bow.

I see some things as clear as day

when others can not.

I see some things hidden in the dark,

oft times long forgot.

I know and see,

that which I should not.

Things that I did not seek,

things I had not bought.

If only you could see the things that I see,

then you too would understand

Why I struggle so hard with the secrets,

and seek a supporting hand.

Silence

Silence

I don't know what to say.

Funny as it may sound.

Some times I talk all day,

But as we continue our walk,

Same as we always do,

I find nothing of which to talk.

So we continue without a word.

Without much to say.

The only noise being the distant bird.

But it doesn't matter much to me,

or to you either,

Because we're together, you see.

A Prayer to Live By

So I'm not feeling much in the way for writing a poem at the moment. So here is another favorite that has had a big impact on me since I first read it.

My Life Shall Touch

My life shall touch a dozen lives

Ere sets the sinking sun

Make countless marks for good or ill

Before the day is done.

This is the thought I always think

The prayer I always pray,

Lord may my life bless other lives

It touches by the way.

Circles

Circles

Round and round my thoughts fly
Am I doomed to live or to die
Not a mortal life or death
But emotions that catch the breath
Feelings as strong as life
Sorrows full of strife

Again and again my words race
As I try hard to hide my face
I don't want to show my fears
You should never see my tears
I do not understand
Why you took my hand

Time after time I show my pride
I wish it weren't such an ugly side
Filled with selfishness and greed
I search for some great deed
So that I can look at you, unashamed
So that I can be with you, unashamed
