White almond blossoms

awakening my senses

promises of spring

~

Almond blossoms dance

serenity in blue sky

celebrating birth

~

Awakening joy

flowering tree spring arrives

my heart rejoices

Arise - Open Your Eyes

Arise sweet dreamer the hour draws near

grab your lantern follow the pathway to light

let the mysteries of night whisper in your ear

rose colored moon-flowers dance with delight

enter the magical realm, there is nothing to fear

here everything is crystal clear

Dead Men - Tell No Tales

 In a ringed-sea; shines a sunless-gem

high tide-looped braided-ropes around

the crow's nest

moon-blown wind echoed with dark-

vowelled ghostly songs...

dust-tongued pirates searched for

the water-spoken tales of hidden treasures

stealing pieces of eight, walking the plank

under a pitch-black sky, he- bird sang

 to she- bird of un-told riches for those

brave enough to sail the tear-culled waters

muffle-toed mariners deafen sounds

of lost souls, cradle-petals of black-rose

ravens, heaven-circling turbulent sea for those

bell-voiced believers in a diamond-clustered

sky..

Where Have the Dreamers Gone

 Where have all the dreamers gone

we need to find the pathway to light

lost in time between dusk and dawn

into a mystical realm, I am drawn

awakening to the magic of night

where have all the dreamers gone

stretching my mind, the wind yawns

in darkness, the white owl takes flight

lost in time between dusk and dawn

seeing with eyes of a new baby fawn

come and  dream with me tonight

where have all the dreamers gone

in a riverbed, pristine dreams spawn

open the gates to heavenly paradise

lost in time between dusk and dawn

believe in your dreams, please hold on

sprout wings let your soul take flight

where have all the dreamers gone

lost in time between dusk and dawn

Lonely Road

driving down a lonely road

searching for signs to turn this life around

need to make some tracks on solid ground

this heart of mine has been carrying a heavy load

I've got the late night blues
singing a song, feeling confused 

driving down a dead end road

need to put on the brakes before it's too late

find my way back to the nearest interstate

driving fast and free, talkin' to you in secret code

 GPS, recalculating, recalculating, recalculating

my head is spinning, trying to find the road to you

seems destiny is a vast unknown, lost without a clue

my hands are sweating, my heart is palpitating

Maybe, I need to call it a night, 

call it a night,

   call it a night

signs will be clearer in the morning light

light, light, light

On the radio, Coast to Coast talking about dreams

I'm in the fast lane, chasing lost  pieces of my own

searching for signs through the headlight beams

I've traveled too far, too damn late to postpone

I've got the late night blues
singing a song, feeling confused 

looking at the time, I wanna call your cell phone

how to reach you, your number is out of sight

driving in the night, I've never felt so alone

I wonder if we'll ever truly get it right

driving down a lonely road

searching for signs to turn this life around

need to make some tracks on solid ground

this heart of mine has been carrying a heavy load

Maybe, I need to call it a night, 

call it a night,

   call it a night

signs will be clearer in the morning light

light, light, light

author's note: A work in progress - thanks for reading
I've been sick and listening to some late night radio
and this was birthed. I guess when you sleep all
day you are restless in the night.
