Through the Fog

Wakefulness is peace
I close my eyes and fight through the fog
Chaos surrounds my soul and war rips at my heart
My dreams bring no relief, no serenity and no soothing balm for my scarred mind
They are only dark reminders of all that I am and hateful warnings of what lies ahead
I open my eyes and find my peace but it is only the calm before the storm.

(written as an intro to a story for a very creative friend of mine ....thank you so much for letting my work be a part of yours :) )

Colorado Love

When you speak to me I hear the singing of birds

When you dance with me I feel the swaying of trees

When you hold my hand I am engulfed by the warmth of the earth

When you smile I am dazzled by the brillance of the sun

When you kiss me I am consumed by the fluttering of butterflies

Your love just comes naturally.

For Lolli

Little fingers, little toes

little head and little nose

little hands and little feet

little smile with little teeth

little girl who runs and plays

growing bigger everyday

half your dad and half your mother

but wholly loved unlike any other

a special gift from up above

meant to be showered with hope and love

though the sun may not always shine

from now til the end you will always be mine

Imagination
anything is possible
Creating your dreams

Leaves fall all around

Spring has packed it's bags and left

Winter has arrived

a la Beatles - a work in progress

Dear Prudence
baby your a rich man who can't buy me love because you never give me your money and your mother should know that happiness is a warm gun. norwegian wood lines the floor of blue jay way and while my guitar gently weeps day trippers come together and go nowhere man
baby you can drive my car down pennylane where everybody's got something to hide except me and my monkey

Do you want to know a secret? On this Magical Mystery tour you can ask me why, any time at all. because something that means a lot for no one is a glass onion in an octopus's garden.

To My Beloved

together in the vast depths of forever
your touch is a whisper of the magnificent
your embrace fans the flames of the divine which feeds my hungry soul
your love sustains my heart & cushion the bruises from the world
in your eyes i can see love, in your arms i am consumed by it
you are the blood in my veins & the voice of my soul
the light that chases away the darkness of the world
my everything

Given Path

In a sea of people I stand alone.
There are millions of bodies but no one is by my side.
Entangled in arms but none hold me.
Beloved by all yet never feel the warmth from the love of another.
Such is the path I was given.
I am cold.
I am lonely.
I am Savior.
