I am One

I am One

The voice of one is lost 

In the emptiness

Because no one speaks up

Everyone is waiting

Conditioned

For someone else

To take a stand

It takes one to create a ripple

One step

One action

There is no good time

No right time

No perfect time

There is only now

And when I look back 

in ten 

I want to say I was that one 

And, I am still that one.

Oh Moon

Oh Moon Oh Moon I wish that I Could offer up to you Comfort    in your agony What I wouldn’t do for you Powerless am I  And may only off up My prayers and incantations That will never be enough Your weary shores Hold back your tears Oh strength and fortitude Hand to me your soul’s despair I will cry them all For you.

This

This Striking my heart strings  In such a way Brings much hope For joy to stay Casting eyes  Cloaked in jest But you know I want You the best I love you, I love you! I long to say Bridled and silent I can not play Ripped and torn  Inside my chest Tear off pretence And me undress Say you love me Say you do All I’ve ever wanted Was you.   DRH Copyright Donna R Hedges 2021
