"I Am My Dreams"

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 21:18:13 -0500

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 real as it seems

A needle pulling thread, I am my dreams

"The Closer I Get"

Sun, 04 Dec 2011 01:00:00 -0500

I have found, the inspired dreamer

My heart overtaken, once again

The child, has recently returned

Taking center stage, refueling

Hopes and dreams, stoking

Passions, that run, watercolors

In the rain, paint the shades

Of my love into every breath

I take, every word I speak

Rises from the deepest place

My soul, a reflective mirror

Of love, the closer I get

"Excitement Is A Clue"

Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:01:00 -0500

Like a key, opens a door

Excitement is a clue, sending

Shivers down the spine

Passions awaken, as our

Heartbeats quicken, racing

With a sense of adventure

The thrill that fills the moment

Builds and stirs into action

Arousing our senses, increasing

Our state of awareness, we

Follow its’ lead, and venture

Through the doors of possibility

Where excitement leads…

"We Are As One"

Sat, 26 Nov 2011 22:52:21 -0500

We are flowers

You and I

Growing in the same garden

Watering each other’s dreams

Passing by

><><><><

We are seeds

You and I

Nurturing side by side

Sharing sunlight that

Shines upon us from the sky

><><><><

Recognizing the beauty

Reflecting without overshadowing

You and I complement

You and I blossom

><><><><

Our love encompassing

A beautiful radiant light…

><><><><

We are as one

Planted beside, basking

In the brilliant shades

Of our love

"Tears In Our Eyes"

Fri, 25 Nov 2011 10:43:40 -0500

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

I’ve learned there is gain within the pain of loss

Life is a journey that transforms, with each bridge we cross

"Expressions Of A Passionate Heart"

Thu, 24 Nov 2011 00:24:00 -0500

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 passionate heart

"Quietly Powerful"

Sun, 20 Nov 2011 08:08:37 -0500

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 mightiest

Of people, the quietly powerful, the ones

Who act in silence, being the wind that

Carves the stone, lifting the lives of

Others, upon their backs, the teachers

The caregivers, the anonymous, who

seeking neither praise nor recognition,

Are the spine of humanity, spirits on

Their greatest mission, who touch us

Creating the changes, we often overlook

"The Beauty Of Your Honesty"

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 04:44:49 -0500

Your words flow

Like poetry

Softly, gently

Soaring

Unobscured

By clouds

Your truth

And honesty

Warm me up

Inside

The way sunshine

Sets me free

On a beautiful day

"Timelessness"

Sat, 12 Nov 2011 20:05:00 -0500

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

What is happening now, is all there is, and

I believe that it is everlasting, ever timeless

Without beginning or end, moment after moment

Unfolding, I let go, I am living in timelessness

"A Sense Of Joy"

Thu, 10 Nov 2011 08:06:00 -0500

With feelings of gratitude

I search and find, sunshine

Describes my daily attitude

It’s like my sunny disposition

Takes hold of me, the key

That starts up my ignition

Seeing the world through eyes

Mesmerized by happiness

Brightens the darkest skies

Pure expressions of delight

Bring bliss, a sense of joy

Changes everything in my sight

"The Moment That You Decide"

Sat, 05 Nov 2011 16:45:00 -0400

From one minute to the next…

Lightning strikes, where we least expect

It is with this type of precision…

We can change our lives with one decision

You really need to know…

Understanding where it is, you intend to go

The fire inside your heart…

Will spark the answers about where to start

Like an arrow stays the course…

Calculating carefully, before applying force

Moments hold such great power…

In time, a seed turns into an incredible flower

Will it be a journey or a ride…

Everything changes, the moment that you decide

"Your Dreams Are Waiting For You"

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 00:28:00 -0400

Limitless, living right beside

Nights and days, spent

Dreaming about our purpose

And our passion, always

Available, to you and I

The realization, requires

Perception and belief

It is in the leaning forward

Learning the only failure

Exists in what we regret

Without our dreams, there

Is no reason to move ahead

Success is an achievement of

Persistence, following through

Forging on, for your big dreams

Await, upon you, only

"The Courage To Follow Your Heart"

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 07:44:42 -0400

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 heart

"I Can"

Sun, 30 Oct 2011 22:13:45 -0400

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 meant to be

Fulfilling my potential

Because, I can

"The Circle Of Kindness"

Sat, 22 Oct 2011 18:09:16 -0400

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

Igniting fires, growing friendships

In these brief moments, we are

United by the circle of kindness

"While No One Was Listening"

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 21:48:00 -0400

While no one was listening…

I sang with a voice so golden

While no one was watching…

I painted my masterpiece

While no one was looking…

I stood there at center stage

While no one was bothering…

I stepped into the spotlight

While no one was caring…

I won my golden trophy

While no one was following…

I danced across the world

While no one was helping…

I spread my wings to fly

While no one was listening…

I played with all my heart

"The Spirit Of Bravery"

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 21:13:15 -0400

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 bravery
