Simply Alone

A beautiful woman

Sat at a table for two.

Dressed very pretty;

No ring on her finger.

What’s a woman like you

Sitting there all alone?

She placed an order for a

Delicious meal and drinks.

Her attire was striking

On her lovely tan body.

Why isn’t a man with her

To give love, honor, and care?

Music was playing and it

Was the most perfect evening.

The atmosphere of ambience

Was simply surrounding her.

Inspired of an evening out

To enjoy music and dance.

I Glow When I Am Happy

Sometimes work gets a little overwhelming.

When personal things get caught in the midst

            Of aligned strings.

Or in the commitment to community links.

When quality family time begins to sink.

           

When the brain is weary to think,

Of how to keep the body in sync.

In a space where only rest can relieve me

From stress, though I feel I am doing my best,

There is a bigger mess.

Still I keep going, moving on impulse, gasping

            For air.

As my heart beats rapidly I know, I know that

I’m low. Perhaps even lower than it shows, below

The essential blood flow.

Some things I must let go, as sure as the wind

Blows. There I recall how Moses received a vow,

That stands even now.

My burden will never overflow. Give thanks

That is so. Even when I’m weary I know, one kind

Word makes me glow.
