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

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

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

Wake up
And embrace
All that life has
Swirling around you

Keep close, those
Who matter most
The ones who
Create the laughter
And dry the tears

Tell them
They count
Before it’s too late
And they depart

Enlighten yourself
To the plight of others
Reach out
Make a difference

Do not restrict
The thoughts of others
For you may never know
The lesson they teach

Spread love, not
Disdain
Spread joy, not
Bitterness

We are all
One in the same
No one better than another
We are human

A gentle soul
Never thinking of himself
Always caring for the ones
Who couldn’t care for themselves

A gentle soul
A funny man
Who made us laugh
Even in our darkest hours

A gentle soul
Taken from us too soon
Needed for a higher purpose
Yet even in death
He lives on in others

A gentle soul named Gino
