Sing me a lover's song
poetry in the street
one that makes me swoon
feel the rhythm of my heart
beat after precious beat
your guitar heats the night
flushed in fiery sunset
singing and clapping
take my hand, dance with me
a dusk we won't forget

Take this dream
under the stars and moon
have the courage to travel the unknown
create a haven in night's stillness
your soul knows the way
Take this dream
be gentle with yourself in darkness
believe you will reach your destination
let your thoughts reach the unreachable
listen to ancient wisdom in your soul
Take this dream
focus on the desires of your heart
follow the winds of transformation
take time to find harmony within
listen to the songs of your soul
Take this dream
build upon it in the morning light
turn it into something beautiful
share it with those who need a vision
embrace the poetry within your soul
Take this dream, I am too tired....

Summer days fade away
the crowns of trees no longer green
at night the curtains dance in the
cool breeze, to a tune of falling leaves
the sea stirs with phantoms deep
why can’t we see the depth of
lost love, the haunting cries of
lives drifting into an abyss of darkness
the water drum bangs out a tune of
spiritual renewal…my eyes are heavy
drifting into a dream…I feel the anguish
of mother earth as the deer heart beats….
Thump
Thump
Thump
In silence I watch a great blue heron
practicing patience in shallow waters
a lone goose takes a young duck and
fourteen ducklings under her broken wing
the sky turns apricot/plum, will she ever fly
Honk
Honk
Honk
wondering , am I dreaming a feather falls
looking heavenward, I see no bird…
I pick up the feather chanting in a tongue
learned in another dream
the feather grows into more feathers, then
a wing, body, legs and a face take form
a shaman stands before me…. I hear the
roar of thunder overhead…feel the rain
upon my face…NO not more rain, I am
weary from all the storms of life…
falling to my knees, I cry until the stars
appear…charting my way out of this
realm… I sail into the morning light

What’s going on you ask
every day it’s something new
some find salvation in a flask
the wildest tales ring true
What’s going on you ask
some days I wish I knew
everyone is wearing a mask
gate of truth hard to get through
Don’t let it go, let’s keep it alive
Let’s rock n’ roll, with each sunrise
Don’t let it go, let’s keep it alive
Let’s rock n’ roll, so we can survive
What’s going on you ask
yesterday, the moon wasn’t blue
finding answers not an easy task
weary soles, seeking the perfect shoe
What’s going on you ask
today, it’s the wanderings of my mind
seeking the light, a moment to bask
there’s still so much beauty to find
Don’t let it go, let’s keep it alive
Let’s rock n’ roll, with each sunrise
Don’t let it go, let’s keep it alive
Let’s rock n’ roll, so we can survive

You’ll always be in my heart
you've been there from the start
there's something about you
maybe, it's the way you sing the blues
You’ve got me on the move
come ’on we got nothin’ to prove
come’ on we got nothin’ to prove
Your melancholy tone touching my soul
sometimes my dreams are out of control
tonight, the rare full moon is rising
tell me love, what’s over the horizon
You’ve got me on the move
come ’on we got nothin’ to prove
come’ on we got nothin’ to prove
dance with me under the moon- glow
we’ll sway to the melody warm and slow
all this thinking of you, makes me blue
perhaps, the clouds obstruct my view
You’ve got me on the move
do my tears leave you unmoved
do my tears leave you unmoved
You’ll always be in my heart
you’ve been there from the start
there is something about you
maybe, it’s the way you sing the blues
the way you sing the blues
the way you sing the blues
the way you sing the blues

author's note: I think the blue moon has put me in a melancholy mood
Thanks for visiting
I was able to see the Blue Full Moon for a few brief moments
I anxiously await the super blue moon a rare sight amongst the stars. Will the sky be kind and lift these heavy clouds that seem to hover? Illuminating the heavens to see the bigger picture far beyond reality. Welcoming the creative side of my thought well, my words flow in free form.
Under the blue moon one can dare to dream in the sacred places of the heart. Become the voyager of the seen and unseen. In stillness listen to the spirits of light and abandon darkness. There is an inner story waiting to unfurl on the wings of night.
Once in a blue moon dreams really do come true! Do you believe?
Owl hooting
magic and wisdom are yours

Super Blue Moon

She headed out early on a hot and humid summer morning. Yearning to experience the rush of the mighty Niagara Falls. She had sent him a message to meet her at the Fallsview Casino. Maddening thoughts racing through her mind as she navigated the busy highway. Would he show up? So many lost opportunities.
Suddenly, the clouds grew dark, the radio warning of a fast- approaching storm. Traffic holding its breath,sky a tense diaphragm. Her heart rapidly beating, she tried to control each inhale and exhale. Perhaps, this wasn't the best of plans. The clouds exploded with pounding rain, flashes of lightning and roaring thunder. Clenching the steering wheel, praying to the heavens for this one dream. To see him face to face, heart to heart, breath to breath.
Surely, this storm-chase would pass and bring sunshine and an arc of hope.

Traffic holding its breath,
Sky a tense diaphragm’
Have you ever walked in the rain
feeling pain
Would you wish those gray clouds away
for today
Could you sing songs of summer fun
on the run
dreaming of you and the sun
drying salty tears from my eyes
loving you is hard to deny
feeling pain, for today, on the run
