I See Myself With a Different Eye

artist unknown

I see myself as a night traveler

awakening in blue misty fog

traveling moonbeams from

here to there...

I see myself soaring the heavens

on unfurled wings searching for

light, dancing in the stars...

I see myself connected to others

weaving threads of our lives

strengthening our bond...

I see myself on the river's edge

reflections of the transformation

of my journey and life...

I see myself under a weeping willow

crying, hoping you won't have to...

I see myself sleeping in the darkness

sometimes afraid,  as I know not

what the night will bring...

I see myself and the world through

different eyes...and I wonder when

you look at me...do you see my

imperfections, my sorrow....

I see myself and I wonder who am i...

a dreamer who dances in the

clouds, giving my heart and I don't

know why?

When I Think of Myself
Thank you for reading

Human - Senses

artist unknown

In an evolving electronic world
I wonder...

would we forget how to be human

to think with our minds, expanding

our imaginations, discovering new

ideas & dreams...

to see the world through our human

lens, focusing on the beauty that

surrounds us,  landscapes full of  color

sky blue, meadow green and tone

of earthly browns...

to taste natures offerings,  would we

remember to honor the three sisters

corn, bean and squash

to hear the world through our natural

ears,  to sing along to the songs of earth,

wind, fire and water...

to touch another human, mind, body

and spirit, leaving more than a fingerprint

in the world for generations to come...

In an evolving electronic world
I wonder...

would we forget humanity

Who Are We ~ In Hues of Blue

unknown artist

Who are we Blue after the spring rain

would time wash away all our pain

what would it take to make us feel alive

when will our dreams finally arrive

Is it our lust for life,  that keeps us believing

Who are we Blue after the summer sun

would we smile at the stories we spun

what would it take to make us shine

when will the universe show us signs

Is it our lust for life, that keeps us searching

Who are we Blue after the fall leaves

would our hearts grow heavy and grieve

what would it take to make us smile

when will the journey feel worthwhile

Is it our lust for life, that keeps us dreaming

Who are we Blue after the winter snow

would we remember our earthly show

what would it take to lift our hearts higher

when will our dreams fill our desires

Is it our lust for life, that keeps us loving

Happy Birthday Blue

from True to you!

an early gift - Hope you have a great day!

More or Less

artist unknown

When you said you wanted more

did you think I wanted less

When your voice became silent

did you think I couldn't hear

When you shut your mind

did you think I  couldn't get it

When you closed  your eyes

did you think I couldn't see

When you became distant

did you think I couldn't reach  you

When you guarded your heart

did you think I couldn't feel pain

When you suddenly drifted way

did you think I couldn't find my way

When I said I wanted more

did you think that made me less

Love Me, Love Me Not

artist unknown

love me not like a straight and narrow path

but, love me on a jagged road, discovering curves

Love me not like a beautiful sunny day

but, love me on a rainy day drenched naked

love me not like a perfectly groomed flower

but, love me with sprawling roots of a weed

love me not like an  ocean of tranquility

but, love me riding dark turbulent waves

love me not, on  perfected wings in flight

but, love me on broken wings learning to fly

love me not with soft shimmering candlelight

but, love me with intense fire burning our souls
