An Open Window

The journey of a soul
Is but a glint
Of bursting sunlight
Glimmering, through
An open window

Shrouded by
Darkness, dank and gloomy
Lurking in the shadows
Raising questions
Casting doubt
Second guessing

The flutter of the wind
Through the naked pane
Draws it back, wondering if
Perhaps a simple gust
Of a summers breeze
Will brush it all away

Allowing for the reflection
Of the innermost
Transcendent thoughts
A juncture in life
The now
and the destined…

I play my flute
A song so sweet
As you fly
And settle round me
Down below
Wings aglow
Where nothing else
Has found me

I play my flute
Upon this rock
My dragons
I play for thee
While water slow
From walls does flow
Your fiery hearts
Surround me

And she sits quietly in the distance

As she paints the skies

A palette of reds and yellows

Against the blue ocean waters

Gently rippling below her

And she glows ever so brightly

Before tucking herself in

For the night

amsterdam-558030_960_720A hand flashes before me
As I step off the concrete
Into the tarry abyss of asphalt
Laying heavy under my feet

Painted white lines blur
Intertwined with bodies
Avoiding the influx of traffic
Haphazardly pushing by

Warning sounds provoke
Like a morning alarm clock
Playing a deafening melody
Out of sync, out of rhythm
The heartbeat of the city

And suddenly I am lost
Diverted to the left
That doesn’t seem right
Gridlocked
Pushing and pulling against
The flow of indifference

Come Lie With Me

Come lie with me
Among the wildflowers
Fragrant with the promise
Of mornings first light

Come lie with me
As sunlight dances upon us
Under skies of blue
And faceless clouds

Come lie with me
Amidst the moonlit shadows
Gently caressing the night
A fantasy of stars
Dancing in the heavens

Come lie with me
And dream
Of yesterdays and wildflowers
Of sunlight and clouds
Of moonlight and stars
And tomorrows yet to come
