although in life we are not always victorious
the sound of laughter is
always glorious.
and often times
uproarious.

if kindness had a face
if kindness had a face
what would we see
would a smile look back at us,
innocently.
kindness can be found
with introspection
look into your heart
and at your own
reflection💓

we do not particularly like the cold
it will be over sort of soon
we have been told
but with our lives, together
even cold is gold.

under the storm
under the storm above
i hold my ground
among the perilous
and querulous
the misanthropes
and misinformed
as in swarms
they tend
to
form.

where can we find
where can we find a little love
not in a book
a lonely nook
heartbeats that
are never heard
love spoken softly
with out
a
word

no birds not fish
oh how you all wish
but that is that
this year honors
we rats🐀

ever if

the gentleness
inside our hearts
could fix
this
mess.
if kindness could
ripple
like a stream
alas it is always
good to dream.

i write
i write for us these sweet refrains
in this world,
of so much pain.
i search for pillows
where our heads can dream
of a world,
not this.
not as
it seems.
perhaps the awakening truly
resounds
when we hear our own
heartsounds.
allow the warmth with
which we were born
not to
be wounded or
walked upon.
and doing such
in a gentle way
that cannot be denied
nor can it
be
played.

in the little places
in the little places we would not dare to go
those empty spaces
that we all know
in those darkest corners
where fear prevails
hope love finds you
on this lonely
trail.

ode to decrepitude
ode to decrepitude
this so called aging process
is so very rude.
aches and pains
where you did not know
you have parts.
(even laughter
causes farts)
wrinkles
tinkles
cracks and jowls
i'd like to rail at all of this
but i would hurt myself
if i howled.
falling down
instead of falling in love
yeeks who invented
all of the above
if i could chose between
wisdom or smooth skin
and sparkly eyes.
a wise choice i would not make
i surmise.
yes life is a gift
even for we prunes.
but why does this gift
now resemble
a ruin.

i am walking a path
i am walking a path i have walked before
but now the treads are not so deep
and my feet are sore.
i am taking a route
both old,
and new.
the difference is,
my internal
view.

in love
in love we stand
in love we can
be grand
in love arm to arm
in love
hand in hand
in love for the better
the
greater good
in love we have power
and in love,
we should!
