phantom

an ordinary day it was
a heavy heart i had
another day it could have been
in some other world away.
i lay here soft and still
wondering what life will bring
knowing perfectly well
what it will not
i made the choice
i sing my song
ill cry my tears
and be moving on,
but hear me now
as i breathe for you
and i wait for something more
i know cold dark mornings
the chill lingers in me now
dissolving into sleep
ill forget you for awhile.

your voice

Time slips by me like the river flowing fast,
-I am left here speechless
wondering how any love could last?
Too precious, is this finite life for me to comprehend
I mustn't want, I shall not need-I'll have nothing to contend.
All I hope is that I may see
a shinning star within the blackest night
and that this day be full of love, my heart strong and bright.

morning state

With haste I hurry to capture this sense
I am moved by your ability to own my world.
Your majesty is liquid gold light, illuminating life.
You humble me in the instant of communion.

Over me you rise, filling me with certainty
solidifying in my bones, I glow with your wonder.

The infinite ocean reflects your power
I see the mountains stand taller
trying to reach up to meet you.

I forget all that I am
and all that I lack, when without word
you command my being to surrender
to the only authority.

In the never ending space of sky
You make yourself known;

The Risen Sun,
I am yours.

As you sleep beside me

In stillness I write a few simple lines,
hoping somehow to remember these times
when I lay without want,
and I woke without worry
the days when I had nowhere to hurry.
Beside me right now,
you are here breathing deeply,
the moon in the sky,
the crickets talk sweetly
of the many summer nights
we laughed and sang loudly
but now the warm sky has become cloudy,
with the crisp air fall does set in
no longer am I able to live life on the whim
I am being called to leave our perfect nest,
the clocks ticking rhythm sounds in my chest,
Please my beloved
do let your heart be strong
in knowing my return is soon,
perhaps in December's second full moon...
until then I am with you
in spirit I am yours,
so don't go shutting all your windows and doors,
because another will enter,
just as I go to leave,
it is glorious to see you
wear your heart on your sleeve.
I am kept and I am tame
My heart beats always
in accordance with your name,
Please not a tear
I ask you to shed
I'll follow you forever
I've listened to everything you've ever said,
and in your wisdom I go forth and explore,
I have faith in the outcome
I trust whatsoever is in store,
because you taught me the beauty
of being alive
another me, another life
I could never contrive.
Without your guiding light,
and the warmth of your soul
My Mother, I would be nothing
making you happy is my highest goal.
I will slip away tomorrow
as the day turns to night
but know that no other
will ever shine as bright.

My Beautiful Mother; I love you with all of me.

for the ones i love

So this is it and here I go
diving into something,
where I don't know
but I have this feeling
I'm headed for love,
the compass points true north
I'm guided from above.
I'll continue on my journey
without a doubt
with no fear
and let the winds of time
take hold of my ship and steer,
I am free as the ocean
I am open as the sky
All I have to do is smile
there's no point in wonderin why...
Why waste a precious moment
standing stuck in one place
when we are born to go out
and travel through space!
My friends I will say farewell
but don't worry or fret
my love is all around you
Let us meet at every sunset,
there we will hold each other
deep within our core
because you know truly,
it is you I simply adore.
I will await you each evening
in the twilight of sky
and as the moon rises steady
and the star light finds your eye,
know the same illumination
stokes the fire within us all.
