Why I Keep My Window Open

He landed on my window sill  
    one sunny, summer day.
His ruffled feathers looked as though
    he'd flown a long, long way.

Neither moved and as he sat
    l looked him over good.
Decided that, from all I knew
    he looked the way he should.

I finally went to get a bowl
    some water and some bread.
Then carefully I placed it down
   and watched him as he fed.

And as the sun began to set
    I knew the time had come.
He gave a chirp, then off he flew,
    to wherever he was from.

So, even though the chance is slim
    there is no harm in hoping.
That he recalls there is a place,
    the window's always open.

As Long As I Awaken

Some days 
              are bright and sunny,
          While others
              pour the rain.
          Some days 
              are just confusing,
          And strain 
              a tired brain.

          Some days
              are overwhelming,
          While others
              bore the dead.
          Some days
              are aggravating,
          And make
              you wish for bed.
        
           Some days
               are made for working,
           With others
               meant to rest.
            But the day
                that I awaken,
            Is by far
                the very best.

To Your Left Or To Your Right

I'm never behind you
    I'm never ahead,
I keep in the shadows
    beside you instead.
No matter the distance
    how near or how far,
Wherever you wander
    I'm right where you are.
If today or tomorrow
    you think that you might,
Need me for something
    look left or look right.

The Grey Area

When in between
     the black and white,
It's hard to know
     what's wrong from right.

And though they say
     to trust your heart,
Compassion's eye
     might skip this part.

The things in grey
     can sometimes be,
The truth you need 
      and hard to see.

So answers sought
     that lie between,
With open mind
     can then be seen.

Hands Destroying Fate

Living in the country
   I finally understand,
The frustration of the farmer
   and, the importance of our land.

With the senseless self destruction
   of the air, our seas and land,
We destroy the strong traditions
  passed down through father's hand.

And, traditions build foundations
   that foreclosures strip away,
Polluting with our progress
   more land with each new day.

Combining self destruction
  with the banker's auctioneer,
We sacrafice the future
  for the children we hold dear.

If we'd let the past be guidance
   maybe then we'd understand,
And, learn from our forefathers
   respect for life and land.

And, Angels Came

As the wind whispers
   through the trees,
A conversation
   rides the breeze.
It echoes out
   the sound of word,
An angel's voice 
   is what I've heard.
And when they know
   you've heard their sound,
God steps in,
   and clouds abound.
Then angels tears
   disguised as rain,
Are sent from God
   to ease your pain.
So, if the wind
   calls out your name,
Your prayers were heard
   and, angels came.

Unforgettable Bonds

Time will not forget me,
   it can never be erased.
The past we shared together,
   the love that we embraced.

In your memories I will linger,
   as the shadows come with night.
Broken vows still bind us
  to a love, so wrong, so right.

The Awakening

As I am driving down this lonesome highway,
the beauty overtakes the silence.
       It's then I finally began to see what my youth
had never noticed.
       All this time I failed to enjoy the simplicity
of the ever changing yet, continuous beauty
which surrounds me.
      Although aware, I was too concerned with 
 the trivial nonsense that thrives on immaturity.
      I now know and have a better understanding
of what is truly important.
      So as I reach my destination, 
I am reluctant to stop and release the moment.
Instead of complying to responsibility, I turn
and continue with invigoration and a feeling
of contentment. 
      Now again, I am driving down this highway but,
I am no longer lonely.
      I am humbled by the knowledge of whom,
and what are really important to me.
      I am in the only company I will ever need
and I am grateful for this, "awakening within."

Regretfully Forgotten

What's happened to the moment
   always looking to the next,
While time keeps passing by us
   for reasons we forget.

Then twenty years are gone
   before we are upset,
To have missed so many moments
   for reasons we regret.

And with, moments now a lifetime
   each next one we pray not,
To have missed for no good reason
   we regret or have forgot.

Who You Are

Just like the stalk
   Jack grew out of beans,
You are the product
   of mom and dad's genes.

There's family who've passed
   whom you never knew.
Yet, some of their genes
   are also in you.

So, from family and God
  your seed got it's start,
And all of their love
  lives on in your heart.
