Bye bye buddy
My buddy let go of his weary body
He lay there, as if he were sleeping
With a small wad of hair sprinkled
Next to him as if it was confetti
My fingers played through his hair
And I said: bye, my sweet old friend
Thoughts of his antics when he was
Still healthy played through my head
And there, on the cold floor, his body
Still warm beside me, curled up as if
He was sleeping, I could not stop the
Laughter from bubbling up inside me
Laughter at the dog who loved to be
In the water, but who always needed
A couple of minutes to adjust to the
Fact that he would get really wet
Bye bye, my clown, my confidant,
My camping buddy, my gardening
Pal, farewell, my dear destroyer of
Balls, cotton socks and branches

It's not perfect, he said, his voice sad
I smiled, and whispered
that doesn't matter
neither am I
Shell
Look, what a beautiful shell, I said
and picked it up, carefully removing the sand
It's not perfect, he said, his voice sad
I smiled, and whispered
that doesn't matter
neither am I

fingers open up the earth to
let the sunlight kiss it awake
a ray bounces off my face
I squint and giggle, as
the joy of spring overtakes me
Spring is in the air
My hands are in the soil againfingers open up the earth to
let the sunlight kiss it awake
a ray bounces off my face
I squint and giggle, as
the joy of spring overtakes me

Sadness
Sadness runs through my veins,looking for a home, a shelter
a place to hide, to find peace
but all there is, is chaos
Aches of longing burst through
my heart, but find no solace in
the sad storms raging in the
playing field that is my body
A spark of love ignites within
Starburst expands all through
my body, Sadness dissolves
longing disappates in silence

Escape
my bed is my prison, weak, tired body,
eleven hours sleep in four days,
can no longer carry the weight of my spirit
two more days on medication, and then
I will be free to spread my wings again,
to spread my wings and soar through the
life I so love, the life I cherish and hold
so dear, my heart longs to share again
the love with the world that I so adore
my bed is my prison, tired mind seeks
words that are gone the moment they
are thought, sleep escapes me, as
grapes dangling just too far above
my head for me to reach them, still
I am free, when I close my eyes I can
spread my wings and soar across
the land of my tales, my stories, my
sheer endless, limitless imagination
my bed is no prison, no cotton covered
cell, no hard metal bars can stop me
My soul dances amongst the stars, and
my mind weaves it's words into poetry.
