Time flies
Ignites fire.
Fire burns
Melts ice.
Ice drips
Water falls.

Falls like time
Igniting the very flames
That burn, melting our ice
Our crystalline forms of majesty
Dripping out our sorrows
Falling to the open sea.

Strung upon the empty clothesline,
Hope waits in the pale moonlight
Seeking to find
That day.
That night.
In the autumn shadows
Of the morning sun.

Memories murmur melodies
Notes falling as rose petals
Upon an open book

Each petal tracing the words
Once written
Once spoken aloud

Now silenced in the eternal wake of time
Sleeping
In the unending coma

Fragile rest
Shattered in the autumn sunrise
Bringing forth the end of dreams

The start
Of life.

Find Happiness, where the lilies bloom.

Seek it, in the shadows of life.

Grasp it, in the noonday sun.

Feel it, in the showers of Autumn.

Cradle it, in your amble arms.

Nourish it, in your heart.

Taste it, in the nectar of honeysuckle.

Chase it, throughout the fields of life.

Catch it, among the starry skies.

Carry it, wherever you go.

Wear it, as a smile.

Then, when you have done all these things…

Create it, in your homes.

Share it, with all the world.

Cherish it, Forevermore.

To sleep
To dream
To create that which we can not see
A life lived
Beyond reality
In a place we can never find

To rest
To hope
To flee again to that town
That dungeon
That castle afar
Yet near at hand

To wake
To find
To reminisce of that which was
Which can never be
Outside
Of our heads

To imagine
To wait
To fall again into night
Closing off our eyes
Opening our hearts
Seeking

Searching
Wishing waiting hoping
That our dreams
Are more
More that wishes
More than lies

Reaching out for dreams
To be
Life.

About the stars, interwoven in the very fabric of space and time.

Stretching out into infinity and past the recollection of lesser men.

About the oceans, vast and vicious to the unwary, yet gentle at times.

About the rain, how it falls, when it falls, how it feels.  

All these I dream about, 

Yet never find myself a step closer to finding out why or how…

I’m caught endlessly in between this world and the next,

Hoping I’ll find you.

Here or there,

There or here.

Chasing you endlessly throughout. 

I sigh…  

Resting to catch my breath,  

Breathing for the first time since I saw you there,

Outlined in silver lights.  

Each ray of starlight shattering,  

Descending upon your hair in gentle highlights.  

Strands of dreamy silk descending in pure beauty and joy.  

My heart stills each time I see your face.  

Each time you smile, I faint.  

Being around you makes it hard to breath..  

Yet it feels like I’m breathing again… 

For the first time.
