I was low, way down
I had no one, not a soul.
Then I found myself.
‘Twas such a relief
Finding myself in the dark
I turned on the light.
The space was jam-packed
With people who gave a damn.
What more could I need?

Holes fill the silence,
Sitting alone in darkness
Hoping for the light.
Daybreak comes slowly
Did the world change overnight?
Not to know is hard.
Lessons unteachable
Must be endured to be learned.
Painful but worthwhile

Bubbles on the sand
An ever-changing seashore
Constantly in flux.

Exhausted calm lays
Over dreams set down to sleep
Old melodies hum.
Sun on the water
Ripples of gold light the day
Blue sky perfection
Warmth in October
Making me happy I’m here.
Barefoot in the sand.
Balmy breezes drift
Across bare shoulders swaying
Music fills the air.
My car is bright red
My heart on my sleeve, exposed.
Subdued? I am not.
Reality sets in
Beginning to remember
Who and what matters.
I am. What matters.
The people I love matter.
Love always, all ways.
Total recall eyes
Each sweet moment remembered
Life lived on the cusp

Timid hearts open
Strength gathered in early dawn
Buds bloom in daylight
