We always take a detour

knowing what I dobecause I’m near you.Troubles may comeand troubles may go.The roof might cave in,but I won’t worry near you.You are that sheltering rainbow,everyone wishes to find.I found mine and I feel it,every time I’m near you.No clouds can mar,my sunny days,just so long,as I am near you.(30 June 2007)

A little hugcan give so much joy.A letter now and then to someonecan save so many wasted years.We should hold every moment preciousand help as many as we canwith a simple act of kindnessevery now and then.The world would be a better placeif we all cared a little more.Imagine how many smiling faceswould greet us…

that no one will ever hear.My pen resists the urges to write them downas misunderstood they would be.Afraid the sins of my mindwill spill out to others too.They remain trapped withina tormented mind unableto escape to fruition,which is better that way.Least there they cannottarnish other saintly minds.Inside they must dwelluntil my body decaysand my mind…

Keeping an eye on all his flock,day and night.A shepherd or sentinel,call him what you like.He stands there to guard us,and send evil a flight.He has many names,you can call himwhat you will,but we will all greet himin the future sometime.(20 June 2007)

inches away from the tips of my fingers. Iwanted to hold you,but you were so near yet so far.The impossible dreamthat could never be.The hurt in your eyes,so evident to see.Maybe one daywhen the hurt goes away,there maybe a chance.We just have to wait and see,and then you may not beinches away from my fingertips.

but when they happen,the opposite occurs.Instead of going wrongthings, turn out betterthan you could have even imagined.You fly half way around the worldto meet people who are strangersonly to find your fears never materialize.You are happy and feel at homewithin their company,then you begin to wonder whyyou so feared the things that you did.16 June…
