Breathe

Keep your head above the clouds
Away from the doldrums below
Choosing each day to breathe 

Tears

Tears right now    
I didn’t know they were there
Thoughts and feelings
Tucked far away
Old sorrows surface
When new sorrows arrive
Forgiveness
Yes I can forgive
But the hurt remains
Years upon years
How far back does it go
Adulthood started
With a lack of boundaries
Putting them in place caused
A ruckus
I see what I have done
I taught you my chid
How to make boundaries
To protect yourself as
I placed boundaries to
Protect me
I don’t understand your boundaries and why you won’t let me in.
I pray for understanding and peace.
Tears for healing

Blue Moon

Blue Moon
Is it love or depression

a canyon of grief
too big to hold

Once in a blue moon
I come to you

You're not there
Oh moon, don't fail me now

First kiss was under the moon 
beneath the Transamerica Pyramid

Unforgettable
I lost myself in you

Only to return on my own
Blue Moon

Show me the way 
the way to keep my path straight

the way to release my demons
the way to carry only what I need

A full heart with
the space to welcome a full moon

Full of promises
