Spring -

Is the season of new beginnings.

ALIVE

Bring us back to the days when it was simple and clear

We don't have to be afraid, because there is nothing to fear

For another day has past and a new one is here

Awake to the mom all covered in dew

The moon wept just before the sun came a new

Nature arose as the bluebirds flew

You’re at peace with the world; so look up to heaven

As you catch a final glimpse of the moon's face slowly fading; It is now

seven

Beaming lights flood your being as thoughts flow through your mind;

now it's eleven

Don't judge the day the way it enters your life

It comes in on a whim, though it can cut like a knife

Darkness enters, as the light slowly demise; Twinkling maps now enter

your life

It happened before you came into this world and it will happen when

you have gone

It’s something to look forward to as time goes on...

Beauty By Chance

Articulate, creative, it’s your God-given talent to study and master, to pass it on to generations here and for those who will come to pass

To touch people with natural beauty and elegance, in a sermon of true class, it is like being enlightened in his insightful mass

No one can take it from you nor can it be bought, it runs through your soul as it enchants your being, only you can capture the graces he left us in the world; so we might get a glimpse of his everlasting love for each and every one of us

You give yourself to the pursuit of finding a better way to express the color spectrum of a prism and take it one step further; never giving up the challenge, for that you are truly perilous

Passion has driven you through your life, though it may cut like a knife; you look through the day and find new dawn in every morrow, their great pasts are in your future

Though sometimes it may seem in an obscure light, your plight will be not in vain, it will push you further than you could ever imagine; like the great poets in literature

You will capture it in a sonnet of color and of life, they are the verses of your soul, as it is the window to the man that you are, for all to look through

There are not many like you now and there might not be many to come to pass; your time is now, so embrace it with of your might, but I guess that you already knew...

Bond

Although we are not bound between blood

We will always share a common bond, as

simple as that sounds

I will always treasure what we have found...

Confessions of a...

A shower of lights seem to swim behind my eyes

No one can feel the heat emanating as can I

Like a sparkler on the 4th of July

The tip burns like a molten ember so you can write your name in the sky

As futile as it may seem, though some might think it is just silly drivel

I can feel the movement of the earth beneath my feet spinning on its axis,  my head swirls

My eyes lose focus; I cannot speak, muted, silent

The only way to keep my sanity is to lay here in the dark, where the cold can find my eyes

And it can freeze my brain so that I might see again, hear again, speak...

Courageous

Come hence and look up to the light, strong you will fight; battled the

demon in your past

Nothing can stop you, you could take on the world; the possibilities are

at your grasp

Your heart beats deep as your soul burns bright, your mind vast with

knowledge from both education and of experience. you have learned from

living your life; with eyes alert and ready to take the chance

To your heart be true and for that, you will take your stance

Express yourself through your works of art, they are colored in

patterns and they are arranged to be sung aloud for the world to hear

So don't be afraid, there is nothing to fear

With your kind heart, you always try to give everyone the world

But all they want is your love to hold and that will be unfurled

Cast a warmth over all that you come to pass, touched the lives of

those that are in your past

For that, you are not thought of last

Kind to all big and small you embrace Mother Nature at her greatest,

taking her into your home as well as your heart

You made her life better and for that, she will never forget, for that she is

smart

So keep your faith and love yourself for who you are

And you will definitely go far.

Crystal Blue

Looking through your crystal blue eyes;

I can see straight through to your soul;

the ora of your being

That is what I‘m seeing

In your eyes I can get lost in your thought;

in your dreams

It's not enough to see, all I can do is dream

Being with you the closer I feel

Sometimes it feels so unreal

Could you be the missing piece of my life

A flashback of another life

So I'll search in your eyes till I find out if it‘s right

Till then I won't lose sight...

Dream Field

I came upon a field of dreams, where the sweet smell of roses floated

upon the breeze

I looked into strangers’ eyes, void of love, filled with nothing but pain

I came upon the fallen trees

As I looked at their solemn refrain

I came upon a broken moon he was shattered because the sun left

him again

I looked into his saddened eyes

I smiled and reassured him as a friend

Tears began to well up, together as we cry

I came across a frog setting upon a lily pad

He said, Kiss me and all of your dreams will come to pass.

I knelt down to kiss him but he swam away, this made me terribly sad

I sat upon the edge of a babbling brook and a leprechaun appeared to

me as he called me bonnie lass

I drifted off into a dream, filled with memories of you

You shot an arrow straight through my heart

To you, I only could be true

Because you will always be in my heart...

Dream of an Insomniac

I cannot sleep, I cannot dream

Though my eyes are shut tight

I cannot lull, I cannot fall

The sheep have been put to sleep

The numbers are infinite

Nothing to keep me company

Except for these words

They trickle from my pen

Full of who I am

Passionate and full of love

I am free...

Dreamer

I see you through dreams that have been cast

They come to me from times from the future and of the past

It's never the same, still, they happen so fast

Through lands so wide and so very vast

You could be my knight in shining armor and I am your maid

As you stare down the dragon with your eyes of Jade

You are brave and strong as you cast your blade

Merriment is ours in the nightshade

Or you could be my hero and I am your damsel in distress

I am caught up in a tower which you can gain no access

You prove that you would rather die without my sweet caress

Pledging your true love
