Rushing Waters

pic Truedessa's collection

can you hear the rushing waters call 
on a  mountaintop snow melts away 
dreamers gather come one come  all 
  

under starlight our world  feels small 
caught in the magic,  branches sway 
can you hear the rushing waters call 

amidst  trees, spirited deer stands tall
healing souls as distant drums play 
dreamers gather come one come  all 

shimmering stardust begins to fall 
chasing away thoughts dark and grey
can you hear the rushing waters call 

tears flows down a mountain wall   

forming a stream with rock and clay 
dreamers gather come one come all 

in silence the white horse does neigh
bursting over the horizon a new day 
can you  hear  the rushing waters call 
dreamers gather come one come all

Traveling with the Sun and Moon

we are the  children of the  earth 
traveling with  the sun  and  moon
seeking our destiny since  birth
we are the  children  of the  earth 
warming hearts by a dancing hearth
natural  beauty our heads swoon 
we are the  children  of the  earth 
traveling with  the sun  and  moon

Bear that Cares - A Light Hearted Fool Adventure

Salted seas in the blue mystery of twilight

silent moments as celestial heavens awake

two light hearted fools,  bid the sun goodnight

ghostly  seamen moan from past mistakes

Against a wooden crate, Truedessa drums

spotted cat curls next to her on the deck

Captain Pat, lost in thought softly hums

in the vast universe we are but a speck

Truedessa drifts with  the driving beat

hypnotic trance,  ancient songs fill the air

foamy waves wobbling under their  feet

forming in twinkling stars, the great bear

Aligning heavens energy with earth

opening  inner channels within the sea

Capt'n Pat's eyes twinkling with mirth

spotted cat running around with glee

Within the universe a hidden cave

seven mighty stars,  guide the way

suddenly,  the two are hit by a wave

an alien beast,  arises dark and gray

Evil  giant fish, with two oval heads

spitting seaweed, with a loud hiss

fanged teeth,  could tear them to shreds

causing havoc from that dark abyss

Cap't Pat springs into quick action

drawing his sword,  ready to slice

abolishing this ugly sea attraction

eyeing the cat,  beast better think twice

Spit, spitting SpittiNG 

a net of seaweed around the captain

Truedessa hurries drawing her sword

Pat and the cat now held captive

nasty beast, slowly slithers aboard

Giant  red orbs, shooting fireballs

Truedessa,  screams with all her might

unleashing a giant energy wall

pledging her allegiance she will fight

Cat chews his way out as a fire erupts

Truedessa works on freeing Capt'n Pat

her mind  going into a state of flux

just as the evil two headed grabs the cat

A golden teardrop falls from her eyes

Capt'n Pat trying to extinguish the blaze

suddenly  rain begins to fall from the sky

loud growl,  giant bear appears in the haze

Capt'n Pat and Truedessa  give a quick look

two humongous  paws with sharp black nails

mystical  bear will need no fishing hook

swatting the huge fish against the ship rails

Truedessa and Pat eagerly lend a hand

two headed fish,  losing its strength

one last swat sending him into another land

his defeated body floating at great length

Giving thanks, Truedessa  hugged the bear

Capt'n Pat and the spotted cat  give a nod

drifting upward to the sky, protecting his lair

his cave in the constellation , home of the gods

Capt'n Pat and Truedessa gaze the sky

once again,  their ship is safe from harm

the stars shimmer rare jewels up high

from her tresses she pulls a lucky charm

a bear tooth shines...

Sleeping Goddess of Heligan

Lost Gardens of Heligan

Resting in a botanical garden

sleeping goddess dreams

drifting to faraway lands

molding with the rich earth

hands made of mud and clay

covered in moss and green ferns

her loving heart will never harden

drinking from underground streams

elements of nature, she understands

sprouting buds, spring gives birth 

roots growing deeper with each day

in silence her soul yearns..

behold beauty in the garden
nymphs dance under moon beams
guarding gateways, strong trees stand
cost of dreams what are they worth
 tall blades of grass, lover's play
spreading seeds, her mind churns

goddess from another world
opening pathways
to dreams..

the sleeping giant is considered
a goddess in this botanical realm
she wrote about gardens for A to Z
and you guessed it letter G

Dragon's Song

opening  gateways to the galaxies

beyond the milky way a bridge

between two worlds a new star

adventure awaits over the ridge

commanding his own star-ship

man with a vision to soar the sky

living  in harmony with his bride

lofty dreams float in a pilot's eye

until turmoil surrounds his world

what and whom must he defeat

his heart hears the wild beast sing

pulses of energy,  with each beat

eyes ablaze, flying across the heavens

echoes of the fabled dragon's song

mighty vessel, about to be unleashed

fierce  warrior singing loud and strong

darting across the celestial sphere

on a hunt for the  legendary beast

Hyrath's only hope, can it be found

halting enemy fleets about to be released

Aden, man of honor,  knight of valor

pain and anguish penetrate the sky

swooping on the wings of a dragon

unflinching, he will not let his world die

honoring the hymns of his beloved
duet song of two wandering hearts
determined to wear the golden ring
will he survive when the battle starts

I guess we need to buy the book

and let the adventure unfold

Available today!

Dragon of the Stars

By Alex J. Cavanaugh

The ship of legends…
Science Fiction – Space Opera/Adventure/Military

The future is set for Lt. Commander Aden Pendar, son of a Hyrathian Duke. Poised to secure his own command and marriage to the queen’s daughter, he’ll stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

But when the Alliance denies Hyrath’s claim on the planet of Kavil and declares war on their world, Aden finds his plans in disarray. Entrenched in battle and told he won’t make captain, Aden’s world begins to collapse. How will he salvage his career and future during Hyrath’s darkest hour?

One chance remains–the Dragon. Lost many years prior, the legendary ship’s unique weapon is Hyrath’s only hope. Can Aden find the Dragon, save his people, and prove he’s capable of commanding his own ship?
