Silver moss listens
For the approaching footfalls
As love on the wind …
Silver moss listens
For the approaching footfalls
As love on the wind …
How swift are the tides
rolling on shores
with wind weaving cattails
into sand dune dreams
Moonlight rises within the waves
having only the stars to decorate her love
Sparkles her crown in the indigo blue
Silver light shadows fall to the earth
Leaving as red sunlight wakes
stealing the dark
Melting the dewdrops into the day
like tears in the rain
Made to surrender
all the heart’s seasons unfold
witness to heaven falling to earth
waiting to waken her hand to behold
Come to me said she
Words in silence spoken still
Echoes sweet refrain
~ For Doug in memory of his beloved Dorothy ~
Somewhere in time
is the place where our love
is written in pages unending
To turn in my mind
as real as the sunrise
your heart painting colors in me
Far from the morning
we’re dreaming together
walking in rhythm and rhyme
I still feel the Seine
keeping step with our hearts
reflecting her waves in your eyes
As the flowers all blush
in city of lights
while Angels gather amazed
To gaze at two lovers
one starry night
lost in a moment forever
Yes words can fill pages
tho’ never enough
to tell all the stories of us
Still always our stories
of love will surround me
with whispers felt soft in my ear
lost in flight
some storm tossed bird
finding reasons
to return to
the air
how to hold on
to the unseen
feels the ether
guides on the wind
one sacred place
still to call home
folding her wings
in the night
waiting again to lift
what remains
of forever finding love
a memory of being
present
walking
in all the times
known to us
~ hidden
in the discontent
and all the chatter
surrounding the coming
and going from places
dreamed or planned
or happening to be
such are the days
where flowers bloom
and moonlit nights
where love shines
tides ebb and flow
heedless of our whims
Presence in the wind
love moving through
a dream we call life
days answer to ears
Not listening to voices
carried on the breeze
along with sea spray
the scent of plumeria
Calling lovers together
to hold on once again
in a the sharing of light
and silent echoes
of hello
Seasons of green pass in the ocean breezes
Unattached to the palms
Waving hello … and goodbye
All at once though never lonely
Never wanting to cling
A warms sun shares her loving kindness
Beaming as if with pride
Sharing her glow of love
as a radiant dawn opening
painted in amber and orange watercolors
The flowers learn from the sky
They mimic the light
Creating their feast for the eyes
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
