Have you ever heard the sound that silence brings,

The beating of two hearts, carried on wings,

The dance of two souls, drifting through time and space,

All of this can be found in a lovers embrace.

 

Dreamer

 

 

In a place beyond this place, 

Far beyond this time and space,

I’ll meet you in a yesterday,

Not so very far away,

 

We’ll dance upon the stars that night,

And drift down, of a path of light,

And when we wake, just before dawn

We’ll wonder where the dream has gone.

 

 

Beyond

 

 

One step beyond where we can go,

One step beyond where we can see,

That's where we'll find you,

That's where you'll be.

 

 

A meeting of minds

 

 

Tis a strange thing, a true oddity,
Finding anywhere, that rare commodity,

That spark, that humor, that silliness,
That makes a conversation bliss,

That makes what’s far, seem very near,
And the unspoken, loud and clear,

And somehow shines so very brightly
And touches,  oh so very lightly

At the heart, of what is hard to find,
A kindred spirit, a like mind.

 

 

The Garden

 

 

With light feet she will tread,

Between flowers wilted, dry, half dead,

 

Sunshine flowing, from words unspoken,

Mending stems, that once were broken,

 

Water flowing with each smile,

Healing….

Though it  might take a while,

 

But with each bloom, the gloom is lifted,

Healing takes one…. truly gifted.

 

 

Flight

 

 

Thoughts & feelings flee my mind,

Like wild birds of some kind,

They refuse to perch or settle near,

Instead of stilling, disappear,

Through the windows to my soul,

On bright wings, away they stole.

 

 

Helpless

 

 

Sometimes in words unspoken lie,

More thoughts than in a fond goodbye.

Sometimes in memory, enveloped well,

Lie all the words we want to yell.

 

 

Sleepless

 

 

As elusive as a falling star,

She is never really far,

But whilst falling into Morpheus arms,

I admit does have it's charms,

Rest eludes me, day by day,

And I'm afraid 't will thusly stay.

 

 

Lightkeepers

 

 

Drifting in a darkened sea,

I slumber, numb and blind,

Guarded by walls tall and stark,

That nobody may find,

 

In that wine-dark endless void,

Lies curled up in a ball,

The person drowning in that flood

That's bulwarked by the wall,

 

Emotions, roiling, kept at bay,

Kept hidden, out of sight,

Shielded carefully by stones,

That also drown out light,

 

Through that wine-dark endless void

Your hand reaches out to me

Someone made it past my walls,

Came close enough to see,

 

You did not shy away, recoil,

At the storm raging inside,

Instead of flinching opened up,

Shone light through where I hide,

 

Deep inside that wine-dark void,

Warmth coalesced, it shows,

A loving, strong and tender face,

My soul already knows

 

I took the hand, came up for air

Warm light blooming inside,

Looking into your face I see,

I've nothing left to hide.

When

 

 

When you're old and your light fades

Til you no longer have enough to share,

I'll bring you my light, the one you kindled,

With such loving care.

 

When your eyesight fails you

And you can no longer see,

I'll be your sight and tell you stories,

So you can see the world through me.

 

When your strength fails you,

You can lean on me,

Because your the one that showed,

Just how strong a person I could be,

 

When your memory grows dim and you forget,

All that you've loved and lost

I'll recount all the ways you've loved

Without counting the cost.

 

When you can no longer hear my words or birds, or music,

Come and dance with me,

So together we can turn the music

Into something you can feel and see.

 

When finally you tire, and need rest,

I'll sit by you and hold your hand,

Knowing that you have to go but 

That you'll never really understand…

 

How much I'll miss you, when you're gone.

Whether we fly or fall

 

 

Dancing on a tightrope,

Between vulnerability and peace,

The dazzling depths below,

Find me ill at ease,

 

Judgment, like a high wind,

Catches me off guard,

Dancing on this tight rope’s

Not for the faint of heart,

 

Tumbling down I realize,

That as a saving grace,

This open-hearted living,

Always ends in loves embrace.

 

Whether we fly or fall...

 

 

The way home

I step into the darkness,

Knowing that I'll find

A light to guide my steps,

That gives me peace of mind,

 

Each step I take proving,

That I'm not alone at all

Makes my heart feel lighter

Makes me unafraid to fall,

 

It doesn't matter if the way

Is smooth or overgrown,

I can follow in your footsteps,

Take the path you have shown.

 

On my way home.

 

Scars

Voices Lost

Like embers burning low,

Lie silent in the dark,

Lives that could roar like wildfire,

If only lit up by a spark.

 

Shivering in the gloomy deep,

Are stories left untouched, untold,

Waiting for love’s warm light,

To glow, bright, against the cold,

 

All those voices lost to time,

Wisdom lost and lives unshared,

Love that bled into the ground,

Cause no one showed they cared,

 

So light your torch, beat the drums,

Give wing to words unspoken,

March on the silence and the doubt,

And lift your voice unbroken!
