Peacefulness of the Setting Sun

In the peacefulness of the setting sun
I drum sitting cross-legged upon the earth
the fibers of my being seemingly undone
my vision of the world becoming blurred

show me the way where the owls dreams
where the birds sing in harmonious song
where thoughts of love continuously stream
show me the place where my soul belongs

sunlight kisses the lips of radiant moonlight
drifting into the prairies where buffalo roam
a dreamer wanders into wondrous starlight
following heartbeats to a place called home

show me the way where heaven & earth meet
where the wildflowers grow strong and free
where deer sprint away from unknown streets
show me the place where my soul longs to be

in the peacefulness of the setting sun
I drum sitting cross-legged upon the earth
the fibers of my being seamlessly beating as one
following inner dreams, leads to self-worth

Intertwined With You!

Passionate
purple-orange sunsets
gazing into your alluring orbs

Intertwined
limbs sway under moonlight
whispering songs of our endless love

Tenderness
feathery wings of night
together soaring breathtaking heights

Whimsical
nightingales stirring tune
our hearts touching in romantic beats

Even, If It Was a Dream

She danced in a world of dreams seeking adventures in places unknown.  Sometimes, she just needed to escape the realities of life.  One night feeling heart-broken she wandered in a foggy mist. The eerie silence leading her into the thicker forest of a dream.  Up ahead she saw a figure resting on a tree stump.

He held a guitar in his hand softly strumming the blues. Her heart heavy,  she too was feeling a loss. In times of crisis to hurt is to steal hope and love. She stood at the crosswalk of change. 

She knelt beside him tenderly taking his hand she whispered in his ear “the songs of life will once again play”.  They promised  to find each other in the morning light. Their lives connected by the stars their wondrous story began. Even, if it was in a dream!

Awaiting Sunrise

 Long after a dramatic sunset
restless lying in my bed
tomorrow planned in my head
contemplating the day’s regrets

Tonight, sleep is eluding me
yearning to drift into a dream or two
darkness haunts with thoughts of you
only sunrise will set me free

Crossroad of a Dream

Standing at the crossroad of a dream
sojourning into the darkness alone
searching for signs silver moonbeams
starlight glistens in the vast unknown

thinking about all the places I've been
time seems to disappear into the night
thankful for the gleeful song of the wren
thistles line the cyclic path on the right

here I am, will you walk with me awhile
hoping to find the road to reconciliation
how far must I travel to see your smile
hickory trees have a strong foundation

entering the intersection of here and now
everything changes in a blink of an eye
exhausted resting under willow boughs
emotional I weep, tis love I cannot deny

When Tomorrow Comes

Separation by Edvard Munch 1896

When tomorrow comes
I will wipe these tears of regret
pieces of us are now just crumbs
in love’s symphony one can’t forget

When tomorrow comes
I will stand at the crosswalk of change
inhale the day deeply into my lungs
this melody in my head, I must rearrange

When tomorrow comes
will the songs of us gently fade
composing ballads in a new tongue
for all that was lost, a final serenade

When tomorrow comes
I will wipe these tears of regret
tilt my face toward the rising sun
moving forward, my heart on reset

When tomorrow comes
When tomorrow comes
When tomorrow comes

No Time For Pretty

Courtesy of Pixabay

This is no time to make things pretty
Yet, we need pretty more than ever

In the rubble of natural disasters
there is a need to find mementos

A family photo, a hidden treasure
something the heart can cling to

After the ominous dark clouds pass
there is beauty in a clear blue sky

This is no time to make things pretty
Yet, we need pretty more than ever

How long can we live in this mess
the beds unmade, the roofless homes

How long can we travel on this earth
with destroyed roads and waterways

Who can repair the damage done
roses are pretty, but the thorns
are a cautious warning....

Spring's Quietness

The sounds of spring are quiet
found in unexpected places
in the lily of the valley
where soft white bells
are never heard chiming

The sounds of spring are quiet
under May’s flowering full moon
reflecting on blooms of change
drifting into colorful dreams
