Scary out here in the boat
Waves are everywhere
Come and calm the water so
We don't all perish here
Feeling like I'm all alone
On this ship at sea
No one waiting, no one home
All alone but me
Not so disconnected
As always protected
Remind me when I'm thinking
Fearful the boat is sinking
The storm will never overcome
I know the fight's already won

On the Boat
-
To day
Huddled over my coffee cup
Wondering where to start
Trying hard to not give up
Before I even start
Something tells me grab the pen
In case you hear the sound
Something I could write and then
I'd turn it all around
Too many signals to discern
Which is the right way
Words can take so many turns
Until we lose our way
Gonna be okay
Gotta be okay
Make it on more day
Tell me what to say

Thanks
The pleasure of a candle scent
The treasure of a life content
Grace in matters great and small
Grateful harvest in the fall
What is missing from the scene
An empty nest nativity
How to find the grateful place
And choose a worthy dream to chase
Not the ones that hurt us though
Those we have to just let go
And then some are just a season
Here and gone without a reason
Leaving us to mourn and cry
Why they're born if just to die
Some days there's an insulation
Between me and the low
Just a slight rededication
To everything I know
Have to keep reminding myself
That I still hold the keys
Sometimes sitting in the well
Of every part of me
Parts that are not pretty
Some that terrify
Others just need dusting off
And let out in the light

All in the Game
Trying to play keep-ey up
And also not look down
Plenty to be thankful of
To find the middle ground
Someplace in between the high
That never seems to last
And the deepest darkest nights
As faith we hold steadfast
If we look with open eyes
Maybe we can see
We've already won the prize
My soul's already free

Waiting at the Creek
When my work is done
And learning is complete
Nothing more to be begun
My calendar is free
Find me in the sun
Or maybe on a beach
Time to settle for some fun
Now it's only me
Wait and listen you will hear
Keys to all that you hold dear
Find the answers you still seek
While you're waiting at the creek
New dreams may be waiting there
Something you could mean
Something to someone who's there
Waiting at the creek
Even when I start to doubt
Stuck in disbelief
In a place less up than down
Still I find relief
He is always there you know
Stop to feel and see
Listen to the waters flow
And let the feelings be

10 three snippet
Death is such a permanence
Everything just stops
Except for the rememberance
Of everything you lost

Today
Sometimes I’m afraid for tomorrow when I haven’t even made it through today, yesterday chasing me through the fallen leaves before summer slinks out quietly.

Terrification
When solutions tried and true
Cant control the panic
Forcing us to look anew
When darkness would prevent it
What to do when feel like screaming
Afraid to make a sound
Terrified if I start screaming
White coats will come around
In a frantic loop of fear
Sucked down in depression
Unable to move from here
A step to decompressing
Hoaxes are elaborate
Created in our minds
If we can collaborate
Finding peace in kind
Is the smoke and mirrors part
Of every true creation
That would mean we left apart
Our heart and soul He made us

Sounds of Me
New pens with color and paper for me
These are a few of my favorite things
A good cup of coffee and herb remedies
A good life doesn't really cost that much
Winning all the time isn't that much fun
Cause you know it's "Hammer Time"
When rabbitz got the gun
Wait for it then let it flow
Wait until its good to go
Wait but don't wait for too long
Someone else might sing your song
So go get it while you can
Time they say waits for no man
Women do they wait a life
Working through the steely knife
Of a heart once cleaved in two
Not just once but twice by you
Others too it was all good
Lessons learned we played the fool
Leoslynn 5/19/2025 title inspired by sound of music, Quote: credit M.C. Hammer -
Price Breaks
Where does your escape fit in
On a scale of fun to sin
Is your pleasure cheap and legal
Socially accepted evil
Or perhaps you spell relief
By smoking some forbidden leaf
If your tastes run to extremes
Requiring clever sneaky schemes
Danger enters with it shame
Now you play a costly game
However if your pastime rates
Approval in all 50 states
Entertainment can be taxed
And cautious ways may be relaxed
Somehow the sense of it escapes me
What practices we preach
One transgressing legally
Another found in breach
Who among us is to say
What was meant as one right way
Only you can see the signs
We all exist between the lines
Leoslynn circa June 1989
