The jewel within your eyes

The heart will tell its story
words that slowly pour
The wounds of generations
departed in a storm

Slowly sings the sadness
written in the lines
Of all the times we parted
broken in our rhyme

Lost to worlds now far beyond
the memory of seasons
Buried treasures waiting for
a poem to find the reasons

Raised into the living light
jewels we gave to time beyond
Become the crystals in the crown
of wounds from ages gone

How even if forgotten where
its mark was left within
We cannot free the senses from
the lessons we were given

Resolving then to know this dream
we live within our eyes
As day breaks we awaken from
the twilight passing nigh …

Eclipse

Where is the light
when we need it the most
these shadows on earth
of the heavenly host -

falling around me
a landmark in time
can reckless becoming
give reason to find?

Our places made dark
by the vanishing light
leaves us in fear
as day turns to night

The lonely heart wonders
where love could have gone
yet senses the turning
of life into one -

one person, one people
one moment to know
we all are connected
as the heavens will show

Now shadows are parting
and light comes to bear
our witness to heaven
on earth – if we dare

Blue Bayou

I woke in the night
and found you there
lost in the light
I came to share

for all the souls
waiting to find
their way past the shoals
in an ocean of mind

wayfarers wander
a wind blown sea
what jewels will we squander
in coming to be

When I’ve forgotten you

Hulton Archive / Getty Images

Evening creeps upon me now
sun sinks lower in the sky
floating in the dreams now faded
where dawn came up to greet
the sleepy stillness in my eyes

Shadows of the day are longing
far beneath my thought of how
youthful rain was warm with life
and laughing people hurried past
to find a dizzy dreamy now

Tonight I’m falling into them
what cost considered for this ride
and all my days begin to blur
in circles rolling round about
the music solace won’t confide

I realize moments in my day
river’s flowing speaks my name
or lost in some embarrassment
not feeling any touch at all
when I’ve forgotten you again

A mem’ry of your smile becomes
the way to wander to the past
the best of all life gave to us
and love our only reason was
a day’s unending circle blessed

When land is frozen in its form
as twilight slowly fades to blue
and stars are falling from the sky
there the end of time still stands
when I’ve forgotten you

Rain in the Desert

Eye, see, your gift becoming !
In you welling up the reason
Imagining your truest heart
A moment and a season ..

Unraveling the mystery
of who you are and why
empty, full, and overflowing
answers, rainbows, in the sky

Giving back all you were
and thought you never knew
finding who you are inside
and dazzled by the view ~

The journey you have taken
can never be undone
the purpose of your being
into this world become;

electric blue and amber glow
Clouds unknowing rain
Truth you came to know, alive
within this world again !

These dreams

Sink beneath the surface
to some dark abyss
Find within the waters
the something that you miss

The colors slowly fading
from the light of day
Telling me the memory
again will fade away

Into the nighttime shadows
a place where you await
Along the path of heart
toward the narrow gate

Daybreak leaves no feeling
of all that came to light
The long and winding way
I traveled in the night

Take me

Take me to the wind and back
leave me on the plain
Wonder if she knows the truth
will ever come again

Feed me with the fruits of life
heal me with your love
In this place a renaissance
rises with the dove

Mold me into something bright
a treasure on the land
Reason for imagining
life will understand

Shake me to the core of being
that I come to know
The everlasting promises
which you came to show

Everyone has everything
they ever need to be
The promise of tomorrow is
the reason we are free

Always

A moment is all
time is for me
for everything
we ever were
remains
here present
in my days
a moment
to touch again
in grace

A memory
of you
is not somewhere
long ago
far away
in a night
morning
or sunset
nearly forgotten
like a dream

Here you are
next to me
in my pen
around my heart
breathing beside me
close enough
to touch
because you are
a thought in me
this I know;

I am, we are,
… always

An Evening Prayer

Feather

there on a breeze
drifting in moments
lifting the love
dreams we will share

lost on the wind
essence of wonder
realize the feeling
touching again

song in the forest
carries us always
into another
season of change

in you will find
love always waiting
time cannot know
its secret beyond
