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?

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
