Psalm

I can wander, walk and ponder of all the people I've done wrong.
But, above all else,
life goes on.

Grass will cling to my toes in spring when I stay up till dawn.
But, above all else,
life goes on.

The wind will always blow and carry the snow to places I’ve never gone.
But, above all else,
life goes on.

Lips moisten when making a voice as soft as a yawn.
But, above all else,
life goes on.

Sitting in still water, I think of grandfather and how life is so long.
But, above all else,
life goes on.

When the lake gets mean and the volcanoes steam, sing my song.
But, above all else,
life goes on.

Car Accident

The uncertain splish splash
of a clear curtain of clear glass
wet my face and cut my arm.

"Hold my head up, faint, faint sky,"
to the heavens of God and stars I cried.
"Please?" came tears from my leaky faucet.

Alone and alone, and with no one
I waited for warm morning's sun
Cuts would heal, I will have to, too

Thinking about myself again

Thinking about tomorrow,
Thinking about the days
which come after today,
Sinking in my sorrow,
Sinking in a way
which never goes away.

That's the worst of it

My heart, this morning, did not beat.
My heart shivered from loss of heat.
My heart did not ring like a bell.
My heart froze in the fires of hell.
