Resting on the shores
Rivers call eternity
Flowing toward home

Endless Love
Where does love go
Parting in another way
Yet always feels the same
Shadows long
In an burning setting sun
Does the heart grow callous
Toughen to age and time
Why all the longing
When she knows her forever dream
This is her day of joy
Where does love go
She never leaves or ever hides
The head laments her parting
Feelings like the tidal pools
Ebb and flow under the moon
Her silver reflection
On the still water
reminds us
She waits for us
Waits for the moon rise
Silver light heals the heart
Lets the head return to dreaming
and light to endless Love …
Dark Night
Now, crossing the field of the heart
the emptiness, the loneliness
when all seems lost
when we have spent our last ounce of strength
and the heart is awash in emotion
Waves are crashing on the shores of our life
relentless, and sleep is our only harbor
In our dreams we are chased by wolves
and claw our way, hand and foot, up hillsides
waking as exhausted as when we closed our eyes
This then; The dark night of the soul
leaves us as an empty vessel
that when ready
will be filled again
with wonder…
Blood Moon – AI Art 2
Blood moon tides rising
Shall we choose our own colors
Or let fate decide
AI Haiku 1
Time heals all wounds
Love shall be everlasting
Two hearts become one
Reflections
“Man gazes,” says Turgot, “upon the profound ocean
of being, but what at first he discerns is not the bed
hidden beneath its waters, but only the reflection of his
own face”
Light of the Soul
How can there be words
without the ears to hear them
the pages writ in spelling
all the ways to listen in
to time spent in the heart
digging through the ruins
of the days spent in between
the dark nights of the soul
All the wing-ed’s crossing o’r
soaring through the pines
a sky the eye somehow missed
whites wisps electric blue
drift away the day’s remains
drifts to the earth as letters
leaving what was willed without
the embers slowly fading
Haunted by Snow
Listen to snowfall
The hush all around
The sound of a voice
Sings soft in my ears
Calling days lit with wonder
Fears felt between
As the years
Grow together
Again
A snow squall of memories
Blanket this dream
Where you are the voice
Settling slowly
Drifting in the wind
Soft footsteps fade
into the shimmering
Light
Shadows of self
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!
Memories of love
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
