Saltwater Tears

 Choking on my own saltwater tears
when I think of all the changes
throughout the years (the years, the years)

Imagine the mystery of fire
how it gave birth to warmth
humans now caught in crossfire
how many more will mourn

Imagine all the dreamers
believing in a world of love
seeking a prophet, a redeemer
is there hope from heaven above

Choking on my own saltwater tears
when I think of all the changes
throughout the years (the years, the years)

Imagine all of nature’s beauty
sacrificed for power and  greed
illusions of tomorrow are spooky
who will plant the seeds to feed

Imagine the sea and rolling waves
calling us home to that far away place
the caves and graves of the brave
who will save the human race

Choking on my own saltwater tears
when I think of all the changes
throughout the years (the years, the years)

Tree of Life - Forever Engraved

Tree of life "forever"engraved
in our hearts

The interconnections
of all things, life, death
and renewal

It's trunk sturdy in times
of darkness

It's branches reaching
outward and upward
seeking light

Balance and harmony
found when heaven and
earth kiss

May spring bloom love

Spring Equinox

Sitting on the lake shore
this warm spring day
there is a gentle breeze

I inhale, filling my lungs
with the fresh air of the
moment, exhaling winter's
bitterness

The geese are honking
pairing off establishing
nesting territory

In the distance a robin’s song
and a chickadee chorus

The smell of sage
sweet-grass and dried lavender
fill the air

Closing my eyes, I pick
up my drum offering a
song of hope and renewal

Thump, thump, thump
the rhythmic beat echoes
and my heart flutters along
with bird wings…

Chanting out songs of spring
my drum vibrates with each
syllable…

Where are you roots,  look no further
than the giant budding trees…for they
know the beauty of growth…

Where are your dreams look no further
than you heart, for there is the
seed of possibility

Embrace the light of spring
if nature can start over
so might we humans

Lull Me to Sleep

There’s a lullaby for suffering easing the pain of heartbreak. The music is soothing allowing one to drift into a state of peacefulness. It’s a scene called a dream where the impossible becomes possible.  It’s a place where you and I met long ago but, I remember it well.

Wandering lost in another realm our worlds collided.  I knew then, my story, was forever changed. Connected to something greater than I could ever truly understand.  Creating an alternate world, we conversed plotting our recovery one star at a time.  It was a time of magic as two souls touched in an extraordinary way.

I should have known better than to fall in love in a dream but a fool often thinks with the heart, I still search for you under blue moonbeams.  Lull me to sleep my love so I might dream of you.

The Blood Moon Before Me

In darkness, the blood moon before me
time lapses as I drink in the endless sea
contemplating the red river in my veins
thinking of you my mind shifting lanes

Nirvana, beauty a place free from debris
in darkness, the blood moon before me
my heart sings sacred songs of sorrow
in silence I pray for light of tomorrow

Remembering when my heart was wild
writing creative poetry made me smile
in darkness, the blood moon before me
  unfortunately, love has no guarantees

In need of a dream, I close my eyes
romantic songs always make me cry
time lapses it is you I still long to see
in darkness, the blood moon before me
