Old soul

The world ie like a kaleidoscope
Colors twist and twirl
A beautiful cacophony of motion
Every word is a book
Every answer is a question
Every sense a sensation
Every sensation
A thousand more questions
The mind is never still
I thirst for knowledge like a desert
For an inkling of oasis
Answers are comfort
Questions are my feet
Dangling from thousand of stories
And stories are lullaby's
Lulling my manic psyche
From its zillions of questions
And worries and musings
I cry with kittens
Dream with children
Remember like a calendar
My mind is heavy
Like a thousand dictionary's
Witj blank pages
People are a mystery
A puzzle with missing pieces
My tears are a soup
Of confusion
And disillusions
Fears evaporate
But mine condense
I have a lot of answers
But rarely do they make sense
My spirit cannot rest
Because my questions put everyday life
To the ultimate test
The world is a roller coaster
I hold on tight
I hold onto faith
Its gonna be alright.

The sinful woman

The light
Shines into my life
Revealing whats right
And whats wrong about me
I with my pride
Nitpick whats inside
And thats the sin that I see
The words I said so long ago
The deadline I missed
Because I was slow
The impatient moment
With one of the kids
The moment when my judgemental words
Really hit
This is the sin that I see
A sinful woman,
Thats me.
I see the visible
I see the logic
But completely miss
What's hidden inside
Im not a fool
Not beyond resurrection
But the sin that hinders
This healing is- pride💕

Hallelujah anyway

The barn isn't full
Even the sparrow has flown away
My reserve is depleted
Hallelujah anyway
They've tried to break me
And most have succeeded
My hands are empty
Of all that I've needed
Hallelujah anyway
In the eye of the storm
And the end of the road
My capacity diminished
In pulling this load
Hallelujah anyway
They prefer i not be here
I prefer it as well
The promise of peace
Evaporated into hell
Hallelujah anyway
My reason for rejoicing
Ripped all apart
The security that used to reside in my heart
Is no longer part of my days
Hallelujah anyway
I don't praise the moments
Covered in peace
Don't rejoice for the ones
When i feel relief
I don't covet the ones
That cause me to pray
But they do so
Hallelujah
Anyway.

Firefly dance

Blink
And miss
Electric kiss
An evening gala
The crickets hiss
The tree frog croons
The navy sky
Ascends the sun
He reigns awhile
Sweet grass sways
In a sweaty breeze
Moth nearsighted
Flutter the trees
Soft owl feathers
Nestle sweet
Bats like twisted maniacs
Flitter in chaotic harmony.
The enchantment is futility
Blindess at its best
Til fireflies
Ignite the skies
Blessing weakened human eyes
To partake of this dance tonight.

When will the pumpkins come?

A child asked his elder
When will the pumpkins come?
The older one replied with a smile
With the debut of the autumn sun.

In a couple hundred wishes
Quite a many kisses
Snacks a plenty on cheesy goldfishes
Is when the pumpkins will come.

The weather is warm and weary
On sweet corn we dine
But soon enough their leaves will emerge
And then,  sweet child of mine

Days will fade much sooner
Much taller you will be
The harvest will happen
The very last one
Before the first freeze.

Pumkin pie cinnamon sweet
Will be upon our plate
But today is summer
The sun is still up
Though my love it is getting late.
The child yawned and the elder smiled
So aware of the changing season

The pumpkins will come soon enough
For now I'll savor warm breezes

Soon the winds will change
And new adventures will arrive
Pumpkins will come
The year will be done
But you will always be mine. 🎃
