Harsh reality steals the peace
Wind-up toys that never cease
Fears within the heart increase
Pray for peaceful slumber

Ice halts the rivers flow
Chilly winds begin to blow
Frozen earth, layered in snow
Rest beside the fire

Confusion rules the troubled mind
Hopefulness one can not find
Waiting for the power of time
Heal the heart with love

One by one they touch the ground
Floating soft without a sound
Lost illusions never found
Petals from the white rose fall....

Soft whispers never heard at all.

Walking outside, inhaling the beauty, breathtaking
first fallen snow captivates my soul
for within its freshness, my excitement explodes.

Whisking me away, within the rushing winds
snow boots become wings
as I transform into a snowflake.

Magical expressions upon my face
as nature revives my pale cheeks
leaving these old, stale tears frozen.

I am reborn, to start a new season
alive again "I whisper".

This year I hope to find clarity.
to search and allow myself
to look through the dark shadows
created by the past,
and to always keep in mind that,
the blissful glows, are
created by the same
energy.

My heart found love,
and my mind found lost.
My identity crumbled,
but the future
is where the person I want to be
stands waiting.

So this year I hope to find clarity,
I'll hope in the truest way,
and challenge faith in the strongest way,
for in the future
I'll know what it feels like to say
"I'm proud of who I am today"

                             SHATTERED GLASS

Free Image Hosting

 

Broken wings..spent fantasies..

who runs the show..who holds the key?

A shattered glass.. a wilted rose..

bloodshot eyes and tear stained clothes.

Bolted doors with stolen dreams..

hanging on to tattered seams.

Who runs the show.. who holds the key?

A spiraling taste of reality.

                        THANKS TO YOUR LOVE

Free Image Hosting

 

A single star twinkles in the moonlit sky,
there are a million things I am wishing as life passes by.

Leaves fall from two oak trees,
blown from there home by the gentle blowing breeze,
they land by the river where the water lightly flows,
where their journey ends God only knows.

Pretty flowers attract honey bees that collect the pollen and buzz all around,
and the grass so fresh and green that lays on the ground.

The birds fly from branch to branch and search for their tea,
looking for worms to feed their young,
who's adventurous lives have only just begun.

The sun rises in the sky at dawn,
and every one wakes and stifles a yawn,
white fluffy clouds all shapes and sizes, high in the sky,
as another day begins to pass me by.

Look out on the world as it turns from night to day,
and think how beautiful it looks today.

In my dreams it's all

as you said it would seem

Everything is so beautiful..

in my dreams.

Thanks to your love...

For my son Johnny.

                                 REASONS

Free Image Hosting

 

You are the bright shining sun,
you are the reason I wake each morning.
You are the howling wind,
you are the reason I am so strong.

I am a leaf dancing in the wind,
as autumn begins, each year.
I am a flower blooming in the field,
as spring slowly fades away.

The moon is gliding across the sky,
the sun is delicately following.
The moon is soft and calm,
the sun is loud and bold.

These are the reasons my life,
is worth living now.
These are the reasons I am,
the person that I have become.

FOR MY SON ANTHONY...

                                FRAGILE

Free Image Hosting

 

I believe
you felt me
today

My skin

You crawled beneath
touching my nerves

You walked my gallery
viewing my secrets
my favorite things

You know these colors
that I bleed

Alone and trembling
I think how can you know

Me

My world

I am without words
than I want to sing
aloud to you

You have tasted
my depths

Without judgment

I am in awe
of you

You shall live with me
until my departing breath
inside and apart

Always

Within the many layers
of my fragile skin

                           KISS THE RAIN

Free Image Hosting

 

Mysterious rain,
you bring misery, joy
hope, sorrow, life..
In seconds you can refresh
or rob of life and wash away
Yet so innocent, just one drop
as you fall from the sky
splattering the palm of my hand
We are so fragile and dependent
on your reservoir of substance
We dance for you, sing for you
we even walk in your formation
Welcoming the soaking of our skin.
You wash the earth...
the filth and grime we put upon it
Without you we would cease to be
and I celebrate the drops of rain
as they fall from the sky
and land in the palm of my hand
I kiss you as the dew of the earth
and gently crystallize to ice...

Melting and recycling the miracle again.

                              NEED TO BELIEVE

Free Image Hosting

  

Surrendering

bit by bit

finding out

along the way,

that it is not my way

to quit..

knowing that I've gone astray.

Entering the twilight

of what

was once a fleeting

and
searing,

selfish thought.

Arrival of a

person new, 

takes willingness

and

readiness to receive...

most importantly, 

I need

to believe.
