vintage-1722325_960_720Do not look for me
Hidden in a fort
Beneath icy snow
Still falling carelessly above

Between the daffodils and daisies
Amidst the cool grasses
Of a wakening meadow

Along the dunes on the beach
Betwixt the waves
Crashing on the shore

Encompassed by leaves
Strewn across the ground
In no particular way

In the obvious places
You presume to find
A wandering spirit
I will not be there

Instead look within and find
A life otherwise uncommon
With its own rhythm
A heart’s journey

It is there you may find
Who you are seeking
It is there you will
Find me lost

fantasy-1819044_960_720Sleep to forget
All that is, to remember

Lose yourself in a world
Of clouds and sunshine
Of stars and moon glow
Of faraway and here

Sleep
It escapes you
And finds you
At ill-chosen times

Sleep to remember
All that is, to forget

What Awaits Me

Do I dare wonder
What awaits me
A first impression
A lasting response
To the unknown

Do I trust my instinct
A gut reaction
An impulse
Or do I question
Myself, my tendency
To judge the unknowing

Defining what is wrong
And what is right
Allowing my conscience to lead me
Down a blind path
A prerequisite to knowing
What awaits me

Lingering, taunting
Drawing you into the abyss
A reminder of days gone by
Of mistakes and heartache
Of joy and happiness

Do you dare look back
Allowing it access
To the ghosts
You have forgotten
And remembered

No, no regrets
Only memories
Deeply seated within
Making you wiser
Bolder, braver
Defining the future

A shy glance
A gentle touch
A soft kiss
Ignites the soul
And captures the heart

Two become one
A single entity
Fueled by love’s passion
