Premium Member Time and Scraping Shovels

There is a loud sharp scraping of shovels,
digging another grave;
this a daily event in the graveyard,
oh, death comes like a wave.
When our life time has finished we must leave,
and beloved must grieve.

We cannot hold back the shovels scraping,
and cannot hold back death;
for our time left is ever an hourglass,
yes, until our last breath.
Listen to my words and live for each day,
even when you feel gray.

No matter how much pain dwells within you,
find happiness and joy;
never become the person that you hate,
don't let revenge destroy.
Be strong and be a finer example,
just be the best sample.

Let go of the graveyard scene and of time,
find things you love to do;
collect friends like flowers in a bouquet,
even if just a few.
Live your life without dread and gloom looming,
and all joy consuming.

Walking In Falls Leaves

Walking in falls leaves, with the cool, crisp air blowing through you like a wild wind,
Walking in falls leaves, the sound of the leaves acrunching beneath your feet,
You hear nothing, nothing but the wind blowing in your hair, you close your eyes, as you wrap your coat around your chest  falls beauty is really at its best.

Walking in falls leaves, the colors are bursting, red, yellow, brown, their bright, catching your eye,  you see the trees, their bare branches, as they have shed their leaves, now left bare, soon to be covered in winters cold snow, how they too had to let go of their own belongings, their leaves, so must I learn to let go, and be at rest?

The strong, tall, oak trees, the smell of autumn, as I walk around oak hill park, suddenly I'm at peace, I sit down in a pile of fallen leaves, their beauty surrounds me, inhale deeply, breathing out, my breath catches a leaf, and it flys away,  walking in falls leaves, Minnesota at its best..

Show Me

"Show Me"


God show me what you want me to do
I'm lost and I'm so confused 
Don't know ,which route to take
Never want to lose the faith 
I'm trusting in you
Like never before 
Lord I need you to open a door
For me 
One I never chose
Lord I know once you open that door 
The ones that are not meant will 
close 
Lord I know you are in Control


Show me what I'm doing wrong
Help me to remain strong 
Forgive me for I fall short of the glory
But you give me time to revise my story
Show me that it is you Lord 
That gets me on one accord
Show me because I've been half stepping 
I don't won't to hinder my blessings 

Walking on a road
Never was I told 
To head in the right direction
So why am I stressing 
Lord grant me the serenity of the things I can't change 
If I get too comfortable I will remain
Remain the same 
And I want to change 
For the best, but I can't love me any less
The steps to survival
I have to pick up the bible
And encourage myself 
And when I need help (call him)
The lord has saw me through
My trials and he just want to see me smile
Make sure I'm ok
God said whatever you do
Don't lose the Faith

Show me what I'm doing wrong
Help me to remain strong 
Forgive me for I fall short of the glory
But you give me time to revise my story
Show me that it is you Lord 
That gets me on one accord
Show me because I've been half stepping 
I don't won't to hinder my blessings 

Show me 
What I've done 
Forgive me 
My father and his son 
My life felt through 
Until I got to know you
For myself
Lord help me I've done wrong
But you never let go of the rope
You let me hold on
You'll never know 
How you come first in my life 
You made the sacrifice 
Before I go
I just want my love to show 
Show me what I'm doing wrong
Help me to remain strong 
Forgive me for I fall short of the glory
But you give me time to revise my story
Show me that it is you Lord 
That gets me on one accord
Show me because I've been half stepping 
I don't won't to hinder my blessings 
 
Repeat until chorus fades

Begin

I decided to let go everything I know
I chose another way to perhaps begin anew
Yet… so much memories returns to enfold
To choice another life… will I know to be real?

Work be the first I gave up on
With over years of experiences learn
Another life in dire hopes to belong
Yet I wonder is reality to endorse times’ earn

Love as well… if I can be as forgiving
Did I know what I meant to start afresh?
Living reality to know what dreams will mean
Then my life as I know… I have live less

My way of living if I knew so well
Deserves more of me than I know myself for
Simply of years as heavy as unto me fell
Reserves nothing more but a memory I now recall

Whence decided to let go of everything
Did I know how to begin anew?
When nothing ever could be what it seems
Choicing another life… if I can but make it real

Without you

I made it so easy for you 
I never let you wonder if I loved you but
here we go again 
Another man who takes my love as a weakness 
I did everything you wanted me to 
You played me like a fool
I have to admit I allowed you too
You had me right next to you but little did I know you were far away from me 
Deep down you knew you didn’t want me but you weren’t man enough to just leave me alone 
You left over the smallest things 
I thought love meant through better and worse but then again you never cared about me 
You only wanted me when you were lonely 
I didn’t know how to let you go 
I thought if I held on a little longer you would come around but no
I was left alone with a sad face and a frown 
I don’t want you anymore 
I don’t yearn for your touch
I just want to be done with everything that has to do with you
You didn’t have the balls to let go 
Knowing you didn’t want me anymore 
I don’t want you and i intend to live a great life without you 
I know you think I belong to you but you’ll see I don’t when you see another man has replaced you 
You thought you could do better than me 
That’s why you kept leaving but then you found your way back because no woman will love you like I did
You thought the grass was greener but it wasn’t 
Now look at you waiting for my replies but you’ll never get them
I’m happy and ready to give the man who prioritizes me 
All of me
I have let go of you even though I didn’t want to 
I’m ready to live a life without you


Life Ever Changing

Life Ever Changing


As I set beside the shoreline
Remembering my yesterdays
Some with regret of course
Shaping how I have changed my ways

There is nothing I can change
Looking back is all I can do
I have some wonderful memories
Of which I find are way too few

I am captain of my fate
A fact unknown by me for years
But truth finally came to light
After shedding so many tears

I let go of all the pain
I harbored within my heart 
And I slowly began to heal
Even making a new start

Life is ever changing
And I’ve learned a simple thing
Take the first step and then another
Believing the honest joy it can bring.

Your Life’s Enemy

Through all of life’s heart aches, and with it’s pain,
the darkness gathers, to collect it’s gain.
 Through all the suffering, and all of our tears,
we’re washed away, by our doubts and fears.
 There are doors that we open, unto the night,
and with our soul, they truly fight.
 We walk around, a mask covering our face,
lest someone see us, with disgrace.
 All along deep inside, you know we all feel it’s pain,
to wear our masks, gives the darkness gain.
 Let go of the hurt and pain, heartaches with it’s strife,
begin to focus on the good things in your life.
 It doesn’t take much, to make them you see,
it’s keeping them, is hard for you and me.
 What we focus on, is the paths that we take,
where there is no vision, we begin to flake.
 Only what the butt can endure, the mind takes in you see,
so don’t give a place, to your life’s enemy.

The Ocean Doesn'T Need Your Tears

The ocean doesn't need your tears
By Michelle Morris
02/06/2023

You're brokenhearted
It's been a long, hard road
These days you want to give it up
Hide from the dark and storms and fears

But I do hope you'll take comfort
Embrace the opportunity for a new start
Life is for the living, honey
And I wish you the brightest stars

So, please don't cry, sweetheart
The ocean doesn't need your tears
Let your heart fly, sweetheart 
Once you let go of all your fears

Please don't cry, sweetheart
The ocean doesn't need your tears
You deserve love and happiness
Kindness and support and new years

Make a wish on those stars
Pursue your bravest dreams
Become the woman you choose to be
And know that you are a special queen

So, please don't cry, sweetheart
The ocean doesn't need your tears
Let your heart fly, sweetheart 
Once you let go of all your fears

Please don't cry, sweetheart
The ocean doesn't need your tears
You deserve love and happiness
Kindness and support and new years

Please don't cry, sweetheart
The ocean wants you to celebrate 
It's always there supporting you
Beyond your hope and faith

Dismissal

I am sitting here alone,
I look around and I see:
The couches you wanted to be here,
Brown leather, brownish auburn leather,
Couches made of a football dream,
Shattered, or a football dream
Imagined;
I see a misplaced shelf, 
Once towering over my desk and a dream of togetherness.
I look some more and I see the bar stools by the kitchen counter,
Empty;
No children to sit in them, a family dismissed.
I see a light oak kitchen table placed by the
Dark cherry hutch. 
Once a set,
Now two individual pieces that quietly state,
Their will to not belong.
I listen to the sounds and I hear:
I can hear my heart beating as it always has.
I listen closer and I can hear the baby breathing.
The breath of new life, hopeful and unaware,
An existence allowed by chance.
I breathe in the air of this small apartment
And I smell:
I smell the candles burning;
Please keep burning as you might be able to burn 
The cells that cause me to remember.
I smell sadness,
I smell an unkempt apartment and an unkempt union.
I close my eyes and I try to feel and sense:
I sense your presence still lingering here.
I dial your number, the number meant to be my answer,
…no answer.
My call has been transferred to an automated voice mail system,
My call has been transferred to the dismissal of emotions.
I sit still and listen some more:
I listen to the me that is left, telling me to stop holding on.
Please let go of your embrace.
I will go taking the best of you with me as
You accidentally gave yourself a chance to start over.
I will replace your sweet lies with the loyal truth.
I will never seek happiness in a glass or in a white line.
I will never seek happiness amongst people that live 
as drums beating to the sound of emptiness.
I will walk sober, and will embrace 
Life and death intoxicated only by images of happiness
That will be earned.
We walk different paths for a reason. I can’t follow you because
I will elude myself along the path that you have chosen.
I refuse to be a ghost before my time has come;
Your freedom to not be will be my freedom to become.

When chips are down
With choice of bets,
Let cheer purge frowns
In clear mindset.


When all seems lost
In anxious feel,
Let poise bear cost
In sure goodwill.


When times look bad
With messy burns,
Let moments sad
Fling good returns.


When crash brings pain
To life's affairs,
Let charm bear strain
To cheer the air.


When pain bleeds wit
In reverse jest,
Let heart bear hits
And wait on zest.


When joy seems rare
In surge of woes,
Let go of cares
To find good stores.


When days and night
Turn into Hell,
Let focus sight
A wealthy spell.


When you can't start
To feel the flow,
Let silent heart
Show what you know.
