I gardened all day
so exhaustion would set in
It worked too, but fast....
Do I have time to post my poems on a website?
I doubt that I have the capability.
My eyes are barely keeping open.

Original expression comes unforced,
not on demand.
Not meeting the schedule of any man.
Words are written matching the rhythm and lyrics of the soul.
To build bridges of hope and keep open the doors of the heart....

Fragile as a butterfly
That lands in your palm
The glittering of color
A beauty so calm
Claiming a rest 
The trust of your care
Keeping a freedom
To spread wings in air
Desperate for warmth
Your heart staying open
Closing a fist
It's soul will be broken
Caring enough
To keep open hands
Waiting and watching
As love only can...

Guard your heart.
Don't give love away or the pain will smart and 
your heart will fray..
Don't serve your heart on an open tray or some
may come and cart pieces away..
Keep open your heart to give and receive but
be smart and weed  those there to deceive..
If you always wear your heart on your sleeve,
you may lose  parts that you'll never retrieve.....

Love that is fragile as a butterfly,
that lands in your palm,
with a glittering of color,
and with trust that you will care.
Allowing them freedom
to spread wings in the air.
When they are desperate for warmth,
a heart staying open.
Closing a fist,
a soul will be broken.
Caring enough
to keep open hands.
Waiting and watching,
as love only can.

Listen dear heart, 
To a still voice; 
Silence sculpts art, 
Keep a calm poise; 


Watch as you learn, 
Keep open mind; 
See and discern, 
Seek and then find; 


Embrace good cheer, 
For love sparks fest; 
Faith and hope steer, 
Your homebound quest; 


Grace shows the way, 
Feel how you feel; 
Live well this day, 
Soul now reveals.

Is her feelings and satisfaction considered,
and matter,
as much as his own?
Will she find the words, 
then her voice,
to tell him without trepidation,
what's good for her in all things?
Sounds so simple, these steps,
to make being with each other,
the place two want to be.
But if forgotten, the door slowly closes,
on what took no effort to keep open,
in the beginning.
How many chances will there be?...

Slouching, sleepy in the little arm chair, eating cake,
Our country on the screen, there isn’t much at stake.

Drowning out the tacky tunes with our laughter,
It’s harmony,you see, that everyone is after.

Harmony, like this, in your living room together,
Flags and funny costumes, it’s times like this, nothing’s better.

Maybe peace is best achieved through art,
Oh Europe, please

keep open
your musical heart.

You need keep door open'd to love 
Forgive past hurts,reach from above 
Measure to His Word,God is love. 

You need keep door open'd to life 
At times get rid of your strife 
His pure love is larger than life 

Just don't give up on life but climb 
God mercifully watches all time. 

Your heart to love just keep open 
Have faith!Believe!God past hurts mends.
