This thing following me everywhere I go running and still it haunts My every move Even in clouds On rain splattered streets I am haunted By this fellow Darkness in the light of the moon Unveils the source of my fears To be transparent Would allow Too much for the world to see Myself could not remain Should the light pass through Revealing my all!
there are times
when distance melts
under clouds
drifting between us
light is our only source
of days spent waiting
for nightfall
and loves embrace
our hours spent
like those clouds
drifting in pools
reflecting the sky
and waves
ripples on water
why question love
knowing it is
between each beat
of the heart
our beginning
our always
ever after
Still the night rings in morning vapors rising as a songbird waiting on the wind listens for the echo her eyes search every treetop for the plume of a lost lover watching nature gently rising in a spring of love's new season ears surely hear voices of angels ringing in forest temples a choir of memories (reflections) ripples on water leaving shadows living still as tears washed in kentucky blue painting colors of the day
Wishing all of you the very best of health, happiness, and sharing joy with those you love this Mother’s Day. – gfs
There is only love
Does the ear hear the truth
Or make up a lie about itself
Am I worthy of this
Surely others deserve more
So much time has passed
Days filled with unspoken tears
Fountains adorning monuments
To broken hearts
Promises and dreams
Rose gardens in winter
Sun fading low in the sky
Shadows frozen beside our lives
How can all this be
Look beneath the glare
The water’s flow has hidden
All the holding on
To dreams in summer sun
Green fields and wild flowers
Lavender touching the sky
Reaching into the heart
Filling her with promises
Letting the light reveal
All there ever was
Uncovering uncertainty
With memories of love
how can the sun
be setting in violet haze
reminding us of leaving
of long goodbyes
standing in the wind
waves washing over
the shorelines of our lives
still the distance sings
in echoes long forgotten
words in falling leaves lay drying
under autumn limbs
giving up their color
to eyes reflecting memories
of some long ago embrace
returning ever after seasons
here together lost in time
feeling warmth with our reason
hands still held in memory
knowing portals lie beyond
still believing answers told
searching for a long road home
there is no other way to go
no other dream to find alone
the movements of a love we shared
and sleeping left to find
the truth within us lost without
between the heartbeats counting all
the minutes and the hours
where is the lip of sanity
the door to our own realty
the presence of time
when every minute falls away
across miles of skies
running from who we are
to become our imaginings
in places still to find
how can we be alone
when everything touches
our senses in the light
and in the night we visit
so many others
rightfully so for they
have visited our dreams
nightmares turn to dust
I have no time for this
though I do have time to dye
my colors into hues
in unimagined palettes
blending royal purple
on sea sharp tones
walking shorelines strewn
with memories of love
never forgotten places
as far away as yesterday
near as tomorrow waiting
on the wind
standing by the river
of life begging to return
a soulful song
longing for a lute
Follow me down
to the bottom of a hole
in the place where learning
started to grow
where the light got in
where the sun came
to shine
where all of creation
imploded
Feelings of love
blessed on the way
lying together
alone in the night
dawn was a mystery
a shadow before
a longing to know
the running before
a full gale
Such is the truth
of all we become
of all we bring
into the light
under the star shine
of ten thousand suns
a glimmer of hope
a feeling of being
alive
Doesn’t it matter
that all within matter
are conscious of
every delight
are knowing a feeling
before their believing
was brought
by the ab-sense
of light
Everything made
the Iris in bloom
the roaring and calm
of the seas
finds in itself
the rising and falling
the waving of grass
the sun’s rays warming
the skin
All of creation
has entered itself
in the fall
still rolling in circles
toward its own end
toward a suspicion
the hands of creation
taking us back
to where we have ever
begun
heart to heart soul to soul
thoughts race across the moon
science never finds the truth
searching always for its proof
should we listen to voices
always selling us their goods
when hearts cannot be sold
and love not ours to hold
take my hand again to feel
the warmth within our veins
let life become the memory
a past forgotten lying empty
kisses sealed in evermores
as songs will still refrain
awakening within the ears
the dawn of all our fears
tomorrow comes to those who wait
today ours to behold
passing fades into our dreams
while nothing is as it seems
