Blue Ghosts of Night

Haunted dark trails, candles of light
tiny blue ghosts, illuminate the night
wings of desire, hearts begin to spark
nestled together dreams take flight

Beyond the Landscape

Starry Night by Alex Ruiz

Under a starry sky he takes in the view

capturing moments indescribable night

palette of colors ready  in various hues

releasing tension, into  the dancing light

her sweet scent lingers in the meadow

a wildflower,  that sings her own song

painting her beauty, a soulful falsetto

together they create magic and belong

twinkling bright , distant  heaven above

diamond teardrops, falling from the sky

inspiring his muse,  soft  brushes of love

she is out there waiting,  his heart sighs

beyond the landscape,  sweet dreams

stroked on a canvas, words unspoken

here he creates art under moonbeams

may this magical spell never be broken

What Shall I Pack

Travel Light by Joel Robison

In my visions I see change

a new path in the journey

preparing I pack a suitcase

leaving heavy burdens behind

my only wish is to travel light

thinking what can I bring

that won't weigh me down

filling it with hopes & dreams

a bright  bouquet of wildflowers

wrapped in tissues of love

carrying summer sunlight

traveling to distant shores
who knows what is in store

on the path from here to there

whispering secrets into my soul

on the wings of a butterfly

fluttering  in a warm breeze

hidden sanctuary, new habitat

seeking sweet nectar in life

the journey leads me to you!

Behold Light

Joel Robison

pure love
 thinking of you
cupping petals of  light 
 tranquility in the forest 
 new life

~

 to  love 
 perfumed  white  rose
 language  from  a poet's  heart 
arising  from  darkness  true  light 
 just  breathe

 ~

  alone 
meditating
 light  fills  and empty space 
 soft  white  rose,  center of my  heart 
beating
