"I Am My Dreams"
We are the same, my dreams and I Partners in life, we walk beside One another, my soulful companions Imaginations on fire, spirits on a mission Passion, the spark, keeps my fire alight Perpetually, in motion, taking flight Our words and worlds, woven together Awake, asleep, day or night, knowing My hopes, my purpose, my truth Remain constant, on the ever changing Sea of life, always as...

"Tears In Our Eyes"
On this day, 3 years ago
The time had come, to let you go
Left without options, we said goodbye
Paid our last respects, tears in our eyes
A loving wife, left behind in pain
Has found the strength to go on again
We are all so proud of her in endless ways
Armed with faith and courage, she fills her days
I feel your spirit surrounding me
Empowering me, to be all that I can be

"Expressions Of A Passionate Heart"
Words break through, the fires inside, surfacing The way art takes form, brushes swathed in passion Music caresses the ears, waterfalls rushing over Washing us clean, warm water, bathes our souls Movement transforms, conveying ideas into action A manifestation of emotions, represented without words Silence speaks volumes, making the invisible, visible Spirits awakening, expressions of a...

"Quietly Powerful"
Forces of nature, always in motion
Often unnoticed, seemingly silent
Occasionally witnessed by the keenest
Eyes, a shifting and shaping caused
By constant pressure, the way
Heat radiates from the sun, slowly
Quietly and continuously, melting
Blankets of ice into rivers, that rush
Full of water, wildly, eroding the rocks
And earth, on an expedition to the sea
So too, are the deeds of the...

"The Beauty Of Your Honesty"
Your words flow
Like poetry
Softly, gently
Soaring
Unobscured

And honesty

"Timelessness"
Moment to moment, time flows by like a river Is it an illusion, or an aspect of time we have Come to know, ingrained in our perception Without any question, we take it for granted Because I am forever in the present moment I remain always in the here and now, ageless And eternal, unaffected by time, my existence Undefined by the past and the future, I trust

"The Courage To Follow Your Heart"
Daring to listen
To the voice within
Against all odds
Avoiding logic and
Reason, saying yes
Walking boldly into
Fear and the unknown
When the heart says
Yes, your pulse quickens
Deep down inside
Digging for a strength
You have yet to know
Heartbeats like a drum
So you opt to let go
And find the courage
To follow your heartSee this Amp at http://amplify.com/u/a1gbvx

"I Can"
Because I can, I will
Armed with ambition, I proceed
Obstacles appear as hurdles
I fly over them, spirit taking flight
At the most difficult of times
I get by, encouraged
Once again, another try
When it does not yet exist
I find the way, exploring
Building bridges, I cross over
To discover, that experience
The best teacher, leads me
As I aspire to greater knowledge
To be all that I am...

"The Circle Of Kindness"
With the simplest gestures
The torch is passed, powerfully
Silently, from person to person
Witness it in a passing smile
Eyes gently sparkling, saying
Hello, yet no words are spoken
The chain remains unbroken
Unending, circling around
And around, hands reaching
Out, forge bonds with strangers
Build bridges, connect people
A universal language, understood
Wordless expressions, exchange...

"The Spirit Of Bravery"
My spirits still rise, though I may fall
Pointed with intent, I will stand tall
I lean purposefully forward into my life
Fighting a world that cuts like a knife
Like the pioneers before me, I blaze trails
Armed like a warrior, my spirit never fails
Free from the prisons of emotional slavery
I choose courage and the spirit of braverySee this Amp at http://amplify.com/u/a1evid

"The Castle Walls"
The castle walls stood
Mighty and tall
Though there were
No walls at all
From inside the walls

They were only there
Where always he would be
Never did he find

Surrounding him

"Fearlessness"
There is no danger, but merely perception of danger
Because I remain open, things pass right through
A heart so soft, learns how to keep from breaking
Through knowing fear, my fearlessness takes shape
The bravery of warriors, knows sadness and tears
My strength, lives in my flexibility and tenderness
Being both soft and hard, I bounce without breaking
By going beyond fear, I experience...

Looking through eyes that are so blue
Will only obscure love that is so true
Looking through eyes that are so blue

"In The Forest Of Hopes And Dreams"
Ever since he was a child
His untamed heart has always been wild
For he was a dreamer
A childhood believer
Riding down the river of his dreams
Finding his purpose amongst the trees
And dancing in the breeze
He would go into the forest
To wander along the paths that he knew best
For he always knew
Exactly what he wanted to do
His heart was filled with such high hopes
Blazing trails and...

"A Fire In The Sky"
In the evening
When the light of day is leaving
My eyes
Stare into the western skies
Colors unfold
Richer than a jackpot of gold
Sometimes clouds
Are like a mystery that shrouds
A beautiful painting
As the last light of day is fainting
The setting sun
Parades like watercolors in motion
On the horizon
I see the pale moon rising
Fading light
Ushers in the first stars of night

Upon a blank canvas of white

Clinging to the end of the rope

In my own private kind of way
I look
Beyond the cover of every book
I find
Excitement in every different kind
I fly
Higher, the more that I try
I leap
Into moments that, forever, I will keep

The colors of a rainbow
Staring back at me
I gaze up at the moon
What do I see
A beaming yellow balloon
Staring back at me
I look at myself
What do I see
