You See Me

‘You are the God 

Who sees me’

You pierce the dark within

You know my inhibitions 

You know exactly when

My heart is hurting

You know when the enemy

Has me ready to tumble

You see when I face defeat


Yet, I still try to hide

And find my own way

Through the storms

I forget your name

Thinking ‘I can do this’ 

In my arrogance 

Feel like I’m being brave


You wait

You always patiently wait 


And when I finally wither

Find my footing is all but gone

Realize you’ve been beside me

Walking the path

Waiting for me to call


You wait

You see me

And you stay 


And in this life 

I’ve travelled

There is only one truth

I’ve known 

It is the presence

Of your spirit

Always there 

To guide me home


Even when home

Seems like some 

Distant (Disney) fantasy

I know there is something

Out there

Waiting for me


You wait

To guide me home.

Marvelous Mysteries

Those  Marvelous mysteries Like sunlight above the trees Often we behold so many wonders Right below our nose  With a sigh Realize there’s so much to this life Hope seems  such a distant cause When in our thoughts  we find ourselves lost Looking so far  down the line That we stumble over the sublime At our feet In our grasp Miss it while  holding on to the past… <pause> If we can stop Take a breath Take solace in where we’re at I know it’s hard but gotta try There is more If we open our eyes… To those  Marvelous mysteries. 01/13/25 clc

In Mississippi

Wonder if her heart‘s  still in Mississippi? Whispering Pines go back in time Wonder if she’s missing? A little peace, piece of her soul Often times those are the hardest  places to let go Roots Run deep Life may twist and turn I wonder if she keeps Looking west To a place her spirit yearns  To be Oh Mississippi, I hope her heart finds peace I still say a prayer For her to be Back in Mississippi,  if that’s where she’ll find peace 01/14/25 clc

Like Winter Breeze

Subtleties Like winter breeze Cooling my insides Trying to let go Caught up in The memories  So many left Even if I know That time will bring her  Back to me Maybe just in a thought Hopefully, she remembers me Don’t have to wonder  ‘bout that Think I already know But the future Isn’t a Disney movie It’s often times More like losing And moving on Breath it in Think I already know See my breath On the wind Escapes, And then I breathe again It’s amazing How such a little gesture Seems to show It’s not just about letting go It’s also about Knowing There’s spring After the snow… Wake up heart Only God truly knows And we get so caught up Tossing to and fro Winter morning - Help my weary soul. 01/15/25 clc
