Standing at the crossroad of a dream
sojourning into the darkness alone
searching for signs silver moonbeams
starlight glistens in the vast unknown

thinking about all the places I've been
time seems to disappear into the night
thankful for the gleeful song of the wren
thistles line the cyclic path on the right

here I am, will you walk with me awhile
hoping to find the road to reconciliation
how far must I travel to see your smile
hickory trees have a strong foundation

entering the intersection of here and now
everything changes in a blink of an eye
exhausted resting under willow boughs
emotional I weep, tis love I cannot deny

Sobbing the day the beaded necklace broke
tiny colorful pieces held together by a thread
sitting in my car under a giant old oak
a forewarning a deep feeling of dread

I knew in that moment things had changed
tearfully, gathering the small precious beads
perhaps, some re-threading and re-arranging
pondering where this new road would lead

black crows perched above on a tree limb
caw, caw, cawing as if mocking my sadness
this was a sign that trouble would soon begin
and my world would unravel in madness

sobbing the day the beaded necklace broke
severing all that I held dear to my heart
cupped in my hand colorful beads of hope
mending what remained, a new work of art

Enchantment

Drifting away into an age of dreams
enchantment under moonbeams

a troubadour singing romantic songs of love
strumming a lute under mystical stars above

casting magical spells, a poet swoons
composing sonnets, words in bloom

plucking daisies he love me,
 he love me not....
