How quickly
time passes,
hour by hour,
minutes fly.
and life with it.
Aging in years,
losing the seconds, in
those fleeting moments,
carelessly spent,
until the clock stops,
and time stands still.
As do I

We sailed, along with the quiet ripples
Drifted ever closer, under the bridge
Secluded in each other’s arms, we rocked
Gently to the rhythm of the boat, we touched
The light, reflected on the water, shimmered
Illuminated, the glow of our souls, enraptured
With one another, we drank a toast to love

To dwell in the silence, down under
The calm waters, below the waves
Surrounded by coral reefs, colors
Of the sea, and the inhabitant fish
Basking in the flow of the rippling tides
Where they can quietly swim about
Oh, yes, freedom, freedom from
The reckless and uncaring, the
Human factor, dehumanized beings
When, alas, I realize, as I sum it all up
I would rather drown in beauty
Than live in the ugliness of mankind

Sand in her toes
Wind in her hair
She runs and releases the string
Watching
As the kite takes flight
Soaring with the breeze
She runs along the beach
Holding on tightly
Waiting for that gust
That will carry her away

In the whispers of the clouds
And the twinkling of the stars
In the darkness of the night
Beneath the shining of the moon
You heard my voice sing
In quiet prayer I called to you
And you answered me
With the rising of the sun
