Short Well Grounded Poems

Closed open 
Open.closed
Eyes at rest 
Soft Wind blows 
Warm sun glare beens 
It's bright it seems
I must open. My eyes 
I won't relive these memories 
There is no abracadabra time
To bring this all home
I must stay well grounded 
I'm required to set the tone 
Amindful minute can pass in a blink
Just a reminder 
Enjoy life it moves quicker than you think...

Earphones on and nothing playing
Music barreling in a dusty brain
Phones ringing and no one answering
Your voice was always assuming
That darkness, ever blooming
Set me free that day out in the wild
Hot, sierra brown mounds picking up trash
Empty gas station cheap as a rat
I threw my cell into the dust
The only thing with personality
The wind wouldn't carry your voice
And neither would I
And the ground assumed nothing
That is a beauty I have too long failed to appreciate...

Just, stand tall, do not bend,
quietly lean and sway.
Morals are in your heart,
to guide you … every day.

Just stand there like a tree,
when feeling leafless bare.
The structure of your roots,
well grounded … in God’s care.

Just stand up, just stand there,
silhouetted against the sky.
Not your strength, stay standing,
on God’s strength … please rely.

Just stand son, simply stand,
beside you someone’s there.
When alone remember,
I left you in … God’s care....
