Yearning for a Sound

I have always loved music
It goes down deep into your soul
And touches things that you thought
You could not reach yourself.

To know and be known
This is relationship
There is a music to it
We all crave that kind of touch.

Loving Gomer

Sometimes we don’t realize
Just how much the things we don’t say
can really hurt
hurt the people we do not want to hurt.

Sometimes we know and don’t care
Sometimes we are so blinded by our own hurts and fears
That we don’t understand much at all.

But regardless I hope to find myself
Loving as I should love
Not to be a doormat
But to do as I would want done.

To Be a Friend

Some things take more doing than others
I hope that in love
(in all its kinds)
I will remember that.

It is hard to not live in the past sometimes
For yourself
and for others
even though
the past
is gone.

Will Someone Teach Me…?

I think I should learn to dance
So many analogies of beautiful things
Compare those things
To dance…

So why not dance?
Dancing can be beautiful
And beauty holds a connection to truth
(though what we could not say)
And truth is necessary
For real love-

both to give it
and to receive it.

Cup of Friendship

I feel alone in gentle sun
And soon the scorching will return
But in the morning while I sit
I ask you for this thing.

I’m still a dog in many ways
And dogs they like to play
But I’m alone here in this sunrise
Waiting for I know not what.

I have some difficulties now
Putting words to my request
As if the need was shameful too
And I was somehow wrong.

Words have power so you say
And I am often sore afraid
As if by saying things go away
And never come again.

The hardships in this valley low
Leave me in a weakened state
I need a friend to help me out
Before it is too late.

You know best I do believe
But I don’t know just how you work
And mysteries breed doubt and pain
Within their beauty as they lie.
