Summer Scented Night

Jasmine by Albert Joseph Moore

I long for a summer night

with hints of jasmine in bloom

garden of dreams taking flight

love fills the space we consume

with hints of jasmine in bloom

heady scent, I think of you

love fills the space we consume

warm waves, in oceans of blue

heady scent, I think of you

gentle breeze against my back

warm waves in oceans of blue

listening to life's soundtrack

gentle breeze against my back

serenading my foolish heart

listening to life's soundtrack

shadows of yesterday depart

serenading my foolish heart

garden of dreams taking flight

shadows of yesterday depart

I long for a summer night

Apparition

Apparition in the Woods - Moritz von Schwind, 1858

 slipping into lucid dreams a ghost whisper thin
beyond silken veil, in a parallel world
writing poetic verses, songs from within
waiting for you in a bed of roses curled
in another realm, will your heart I win
or are you simply an apparition...

Intergalactic Heart

she navigates the heavenly stars

sitting on the bridge of uncertainty

he pilots her beyond Venus and Mars

transcending boundaries, healing scars

a dragon's heart beats eternally

she navigates the heavenly stars

voyage to light, no matter how far

spiraling rings, gateway to eternity

he pilots her beyond Venus and Mars

freeing spirits from undue bars

soaring to the edge of insanity

she navigates the heavenly stars

magical wonders in a galactic bazaar

music found in a dreamy guitar

he pilots her beyond Venus and Mars

doorway to the universe left ajar

defying the law of gravity

she navigates the heavenly stars

he pilots her beyond Venus and Mars

I missed the mid-week motif - space

so here is my offering...

Water the Elixir of Life

Standing Rock Photo

  in a whiskey colored sky

my thoughts are stirred

standing on the rocks

in solidarity

wild buffalo hammered

on sacred ground for justice
 round radiant moon

offered light,  proof

of strong united spirits
