WHEN I SING

When I sing
nothing seems important any more 
no problem is too trying 
no challenge too great 
when I sing
I can do anything.
 When I sing
I instantly start to smile 
I cannot help but find joy
in the wonderful music
when I sing 
my life becomes perfection.
When I sing
people pause and smile
”what a beautiful voice you have, honey”
they say
and I thank them
chuckling privately at how little they understand 
about the true beauty that occurs 
when I sing.

    you are not you. 

    you are what i think
    alas i refuse to admit i am wrong.
    what can i say?
    i love this version of you 
    he is kind and sweet and loving 
    so very beautiful.
  • Slippery slope

    The way is harsh
    The light is dim
    And we forget to celebrate love
    Instead condemning faultless faults and forged sins
    We sit in silence
    Festering in our lack of empathy 
    Or we stand and scream because still we are not heard
