I woke up thankful
Did my lavabos
Went to the kitchen
Find a waiting daughter
Ask, how are you doing
Medium was the answer
Like you are here but don’t know why
Yes, she answered
I think that’s better than being here
And knowing why
 
The unknown may be exciting
Anticipation increases adrenaline
Finding our truth is rewarding
Living our truth is outstanding
 
We have everything, but nothing
Have food, but are hungry
Health, but we are ill
We search for what is missing
Do not know where to look
Begin to blame, taking no responsibility
 
We become frustrated when we find ourselves
In an unfamiliar forest, having no clue
Whether danger lurks or if we are safe
We pledge to turn our lives around as
Soon as we can find our way
 
We know we are nothing, in spite of
Being something to others
Our true self is becoming apparent
We will be followers and not just fans
Will drop our excuses and seek
Yes, seek out the authentic fisherman
 
Following in His footsteps we find peace
Opportunity glares at us from all directions
We are willing and do proceed
Knowing now why we are here
Sunday mornings are so good

Oh, to write a poem or musing
That is universal in its appeal
Not an easy thing to do
There is no one, like
The one who won the war
Because there is no one who
Could, being solo, accomplish this
 
I have talked to girls from Denver
Also known as the Denver Girls and
They say without reservation that
The only situation where one is a winner is
A single bird in a cage, well fed and watered
And a real being does not prefer a cage
It’s not the only game in town
 
I could write about events in Berlin or
Anywhere for that matter and make
Them interesting to read even if
In their own right they are boring
I had the real deal once, but
The real deal died and I was left alone
Broken hearts are not fun
 
There is always more to the story, but
You find a new category and I call it
Broken hearts and things we’ll never know
I found a new love and things went well
The excitement of newness prevailed until
The time came for scripted love and this
Did not go well with me because I desire spontaneity
 
I suggested most kindly to my lovely lady
Just be the woman you are.  You are intelligent,
Accomplished and have nothing to prove
She needed recognition and continued to overdo
Her fragile body could not handle this excess
Which led to sickness and another broken heart
A sacred vow broken and what happened in Vegas left
