Waiting still

Silver moss listens

For the approaching footfalls

As love on the wind …

Shades of blue

Snow covered landscapes
Memories frosting our lives
Talk of simpler days
Passing years in our youth
 
Moments without judgement
Remain in dreams
Thoughts crystallized 
Formed in the twilight before

Ever there was  
a way to remain
In the joy and laughter 
of children 

This then the dream 
Forgotten at the gate
Sought in ten thousand shades  
Of blue beneath a star dappled dome

Opened before 
The world ever asked
To become 
The life we once knew 

A new day

Fading Colors

Is there a line across our lives

Emotions rooted in color fades

When the heart finds hope

and eyes refuse to fear the dark

No hand to hold

Behold – Earth begs our prayers, for peace and beauty, for giving of life, for love of labor beyond self

The new city stands still as mercury rises

The crowd of hosts wait breathless for words

Grief holds on behind masks of change

A mother’s tears are pleading please return to love

Ebb Tide

The tide ebbs as those on the shore of time stand in defiance
Heroes of circumstance are guided by love beyond self
Rain and wind cannot fade a springtime of hope
Outside the margins Angels crowd round to greet the lost

Spelling cast

Dreams become us
we will our way
Into the winds
the Way we come to find
the Love we leave
the light we shine
in ancient halls
remembered

Do not fear
for all the signs
as sense has brought
forever
always near
the reason left
recalls the turning
seasons

What was found
beneath the stone
within the clay
now frozen
was understood
the canvas splashed
by color brushed
with Artist hands

Under cover
days defended
with words we spell
untold
feel the storm clouds
fell the oak
and raise this
understanding

Rivers of tears

matters of the heart
lie hidden
these untruths
seldom revealed
to the light
of day
of eyes
lusting
lasting
leaving
of all the shadows
cold remains

purpose poses
as if to say
here I am
there I go
forever wandering
in time
never wondering
why we came
where we came
from and leading
to the fall
of water into
waves

eye motions
emotions beg
forgiveness of sins
signs in seasons
opening whether
the weather
the winds
and the rain
cry rivers of tears
cleansing rivers
of blood
while the soul
seeks forever’s
refrain
