From the shadows of my heart
She calls
Her voice flows
Like an ethereal river
Running through my mind
Like morning dew
Her eyes shine
In a glorious sunset
Of auburn and crimson
Her smile
Captivates all
Her laugh is most precious
Like breath of life
It leads me to other worlds
Where love at last is found
Time passes between us
As seconds fall short
And words are left unspoken
A single rose
Lying on the ground
Fades
As I walk away
I look back and ponder
Should I leave…?
I ask myself
Always..

Watching the days flow by
As the time passes
Everyday is the same
The sun
Shining brightly in the east
Burning into the soft sky
Each ray blinding
Then glorious sunset
At the beach
I lie with no worries
As the sun dies
Sinking below the horizon
In a funeral of flame
Night falls
As the sweet moon rises
Raining cool light
Upon my shoulders
As it hangs silently
It comforts me
Brings me out of this sorrow
This hole of bitterness
Its light gives me hope
As it illuminates my darkened world
The ghostly sphere
Dispels the shadows
Lifts me up
As I look skyward
To a new day. 

As you wade into the ocean
I watch from the shore
As the waves roll in and recede into the depths
Ever caught up in the cycle of life
The sunset reflects upon the waves
Its warm colors embracing
The cool colors of the sea
Reminding me of you and our past
The light that shines upon the darkness
Illuminating that which is shadowed
By sorrow
Weighed down by the endless trials
Revealing all that once was
As sunset fades into night

The once green meadow
Covered in a fresh blanket of snow
The songbirds silent
Long gone from this place
A wintry howl is carried upon the wind
As a lone wolf cries unto his people
The icy breeze obscures the moon
A wintry haze distorting soft light
I sit there waiting for spring
Waiting for the warm rays of April
The rebirth
Of all things wonderful

A lone wolf treks through the snow
A cold winter’s night hangs overhead
The sharp breeze penetrates his fur
White speckles dot the hairs of his coat
Biting into his skin
Walking in solitude
Looking to the moon for comfort
That silver orb hanging in the chaos
Above him watching sorrows pass
He cries unto it for assurance
Unwavering he cries
Only to hear the icy wind answer him
Echoing his sadness

Today I speak of sorrow
As the blue sky and the amber dawn fade into the night
Summer fades into winter
Life into death
As a rose loses its color
And in its frailness departs
As the cool stream trickles into nothingness
The flow of time carries it along
As they can only wait for the end
The end is at the end of our rivers
The ocean….
A new adventure

As you rest in the sweet slumber
Dreams arise of great majesty
The clouds flow past in the sky eternally blue
As hopes are fulfilled
Peace reigns in the heart
As sweet moon light and delightful rays
Are one
Bringing together the coolness of night
With the joy of day
The amber dawn awakens
A new day heralds its arrival
Light streams into your darkened room
Erasing the ghostly illusions
A peaceful time
Forgotten

A flash of light over the horizon
As dawn breaks into a thousand rays
Touching here and there among the trees
Reflecting off the dew covered grass
I lie with my back to an ancient oak
Writing of the past
All the while listening to the sweet song birds
That night
When the moon shines silver upon the meadow
As the stars dance so far away
Deep within the sorrows of time
Embedded in the heavens
Waiting
Watching
As we rest
So peacefully
Below

Cherry petals fall gently off the sea shore
As the sunset illuminates the sky in glorious wonder
The waves rolls in and break on the sand
Pulling all back into the depths
The now dying light is replaced by starlight
lights that hang in the heavens
Watching
Waiting
The moon rises in the distance
Illuminating the sidewalk with silver light
The shadows of the trees obscure
One man walks alone
Under the trees
As the petals land on his shoulders like soft rain
He takes no notice
His mind is elsewhere
He gazes up at the stars questioningly
His mind a mess of confusion
Trying to weed out the logic
In its eternal chaos
A flower petal flutters by his eye
Drawing his attention to sight
Cherry blossoms
Blooming
Falling
All while the moon shines
On the lone man
Walking
On a mild spring night

Flows endlessly

Through a meadow

As the sun rises and sets

On a new day

Brings a new day as the light

Falls upon the dew

Those drops of crystal

Resting peacefully upon the sweet grass

I lie watching the time pass sweetly in the air

The quiet breeze whispers slowly to the trees

As the leaves rustle in reply

My soul waits

Watching

As the brook beside me slows

Into a trickle and stops

Time……
