Inner quiet

Sometimes in my inner quiet
Knowing nothing left to give
Words a jumbled inner riot
Watch the world dance and live

Sometimes with a silent talent
Hard perhaps to understand
Interaction far beyond me
Without strength and steel to stand

Standing back inside the shadow
Watching without words to share
Can not think to make a comment
Yet I know how much I care

Share the words when I am able
Listening to my inner voice
Walking to a different drummer
Knowing that it is my choice

Light shining

Light shines in my life forever
But the grief and pain are strong
Lost the man that walks beside me
Though his soul helps me along

Some days words will flow like water
Other days a jumbled mess
Love and grief live side by side
Pure joy and unhappiness

Poetry my strongest outlet
For a muse he sends to me
And it helps to heal my soul
In ways I think he can see

My life is a different world
Since he left for a distant shore
Fragile, tender moments visit
Sparking a creative core

He would write to me a story
Deep within the dark of night
Now in grief I am responding
Guided by his angel light

September meal

Was a wet night in September
Not as hot as months before
Willing to face any challenge
See your angel face once more

Hold me tight with angel whispers
Meet my needs of wanting rest
For a moment just to find
My head held upon your chest

Do you know just how excited?
I would walk across the lands
If the trip would end with me
Eating chicken from your hands

Find your recipe sustains me
Feeds me now body and soul
Stephen's chicken now I call it
Angel food to keep me whole

More September food

Wish the world did not have to
Spoil the fantasy I'm in
Cooking all the things I want to
Start with chicken, Mediterranean

I can make a mean corn muffin
Coffee cake, banana bread
The man though I want to cook for
Is unfortunately quite dead

For him I would spread a breakfast
In the morning, late at night
Scrambled eggs, pancakes and bacon
Anything to hold him tight

Glow of sunrise

Orange and red glow of sunrise
I found my thoughts on you
Sweet memories deep inside
That help me make it through

Those special ways to tell me
You're not completely gone
You sit with me at twilight
And rise with me at dawn

Words you whispered gently
In the autumn rain
Find their way in morning's hush
Trickling through my brain

Standing, watching over me
Like shining stars at night
With my footsteps on the path
You are my guiding light

I love you more than words can say
Although I say it still
I walk with you inside my heart
And know I always will

You are the angel of my life
I trust you with my soul
And from the moment that we met
Two halves became one whole

So in the glow of sunrise
The early morning dew
The gift of memories all bring
My thoughts and love to you.

Indelible love

You left on my soul
An indelible mark
You left in my heart
One true spark

I know how sweet
That love can be
Because you walks
Always with me

Raising my eyes
An eternal glance
Moving my feet
Everlasting dance

Beating hearts
Souls that touch
Missing you
so very much

Gently you watch
Ever over me
Indelible love
Was meant to be
