Live like a flower of many petals:
~
Reach for the sun,
sway in the wind,
thirst for the rain,
and die to be plucked.
~
Nourish others with your sweetness,
release seeds of Love into the World,
and paint on Nature’s canvas
with the unique colors of your Life.

Aria

Reaching for a song in silence,
I’ve dreamt it many times,
to follow it through the pits of hell
dancing it’s rhythms and rhymes.
The melody carries me along
whenever I get lost;
I try to harmonize my part
and reverb every cost.
The lyrics flow from high above
and filter through my soul
into the wonderment of Life
to make each lesson whole.
Sometimes the music [...]
Secretly

How do I write
the sun and the moon,
the lightness inside
a floating balloon,
the lover’s love
to fall and then swoon,
the dreamer’s desire
to sleep until noon,
the heart of a child
turned loose in June,
the eyes of an elder
divining by rune,
the keys of a piano
that’s slightly off-tune,
or the unwritten music
that ended too soon?
I sit by the ocean
in the mind of [...]
The Stars

I wonder
as I gaze up at the stars
if somewhere,
way out there,
a star is looking back at me
and wondering the same…
What is interesting to me,
although sometimes sad to see,
is on the clearest of nights
with so many twinkling lights
that out there in the starkness
there is even more darkness
and though they still shine by day
the stars are hidden [...]
Out Of Water

I dug myself a deep hole
and blindly jumped right in.
On my own, I dove head-first
into that bottle of gin.
Like a lobster in the pot
I relaxed into sloe breath
while everything around me
almost simmered me to death.
It’s the ones I hurt the most
that have been my saving grace;
God was right in front of me
waving a finger in [...]
The L in ‘Self’

You just have to
Let Yourself go
find a way to
Lend Yourself to others
so that you can
Look inside Yourself
when Life gets tough
and Laugh at Yourself
while Learning to
Love Yourself
because you still have to
Live with Yourself

words given rhythm
without music
expressing emotion
or hiding it
telling a story
or ending it
casting light
or shadows

Compagnon D’âme

The world in my heart
is a beautiful place
no age, time or death
no pain, only grace
The splendor of Life
laid out in full view
someday, my dear friend
I will share this with you
As our time comes around
we will join in the play
together as one
on that glorious day
But, for now we must learn
to walk separately
our paths ever crossed
breathing the [...]

For anyone interested: this was inspired by a unique combination of circumstances involving 3 very special friends of mine and me. I will eventually do something weird with this graphic, but for now – use as you are so inspired to. Blessings to all this season!!
