A crow on a wire watched me cry,
He cawed at the clouds in the sky.
“You break, then you mend,
But the hurt doesn’t end—
Just learn how to smile when you lie.”

Till We Mend
Into me
A voyage
To discovery
Oh what strength lies ahead
Ain't afraid
Ain't ashamed
Out there searching
Forgetting the past
So focused on the future
Where skies will never gray
I part ways with my inner demons
Cast them aside like I was once
A brand new me
In the flesh
Don't judge
Don't criticize
I'll stand here
Till you see all you are missing
I might not be the

The pain of not knowing
? Previous12 3 456…28Next ?
A lament of Love? and Loss
In the silence, I hear your voice,
A whispered reminder, of my foolish choice.
I was blind to your needs, and deaf to your pain,
And now I'm left with the shards, of a love that could not remain.
I wish I could turn back time, and start anew,
To love

Every people from everywhere
While I sit here thinking about the world and our people, every people, from everywhere, all the differences, and similarities, the cultures and colors. We are so beautiful, and peculiar, a virtual cornucopia of variety. I think about all the most wonderful things we could be if we would just let go of our

REGRETS CAN'T MEND
Evey moment, cherish like gold
Regrets can't mend when you are old
A time wasted won't come again
Reminiscing will just bring pain
A time to shine may just come once
So waste no chance and dare to dance

How Do You Mend A Broken Heart
How Do You Mend A Broken Heart
*
I stand by your grave
Hands clasped before me
My breathing shallow
My legs unsteady
I summon every
Ounce of strength
To keep from falling
*
All the days to come
Without you
All the nights to come
Without you
How will my heart
Endure your loss
*
In hospice
We reminisced
You were comforted
By the memories
Of our time together
You were proud

He Will Fix Us
When words are spoken in anger,
Leaving regret and shameful lines, penned
By hearts who needed to vent – to express
The darkness that betrays their need
For healing, for breathing, for revealing
Each whisper of loss and lessons
Still to be learned, messages from the One
Who we call on when we’re sure…
There is only one place we can go,
One

Angelic Woe
The sky’s painted gray
My heart is bruised
My mind is cluttered
But I have you
You mend my wounds
And organize my space
Light the way
My pain is erased
Even when sorrows and woe
Refuse to wander astray
You’re always there to comfort me
On my most melancholic day
What was once dull and grim
Now inhabits a vibrant hue
Your

Poles Apart
Our hearts are heavy with the world's woes.
It seems lies and hate follow wherever one goes.
Added to that, the unjust war in Ukraine,
and Earth's breath slows for she's now in pain.
Greed has spilled across our beautiful land.
Dollar signs seem all many understand.
How to change minds that have been made,
when counting millions that they've been paid.
Lies

Mend
Read my pages,
Rewrite me, please,
Let it go easy on me.
Read my pages,
Feel the world around,
Lighten its weight on me.
Read my pages,
Still the tempest,
Bring perpetual tranquility.
Read my pages,
Go through my door,
Aid my strivings.
Read my pages,
Push away the darkness
that trails and interfere.
Read my pages,
Don’t leave me part way,
Walk with me to the last line.
Read my pages,
Traverse

A Sewing Machine
A manual sewing machine
Strenuous but beneficial
It sews dresses
Two edges meet
And being stitched together
Passion and reunion in life too
Two hearts meet and stay together
It mends dresses
A hole in life must be patched too
Life isn't easy
Deficiency to be filled
Scars to be healed
Pains to be reduced
Misunderstanding to be unraveled
It corrects dresses
Corrections are made to life too
To
