Forever Dust

It is one of those kind of days, like a storm in waiting. The sun brazen   breaks through the heavy clouds to cast a light upon the newly birthed green leaves of the lower growing shrubs. I can't help but to stare out the bedroom window and watch as the wind orchestrates a dance that brings the hollow to life. There is a variety of wildflowers blanketing the hills. I am always amazed how mother nature has the ability to throw out colors and paint a picture that changes every couple weeks. It seems as if we started with shades of yellow and gold and now all the native flowers are in bloom. There is a softness to it, almost a blend of calm and a beauty that romances the soul.
~
Sweet kiss to the cheek,
your touch to my heart,
the warmth of your love,
both near and a far.
~

The magic of love is that it is never very far,

for I have experienced such a love.

~

The hand reveals a life spent, 

the heart a life renewed. 

~

I could find sadness in all that I don't have,

except that I have all one 

can need or want ,

 for I have your

 love. 

Watching a flycatcher as she returns to nest,
amazing is her return as she uses my bedroom
window and secures a place to perform her best.

Placing aside all the days worry and allowing
my mind to explore the peace as I watch the
fruit blossoms caught in the wind begin to flurry


~

The greatest of gifts,

 to love and be loved.

~

Love is awfully simple,

it is magical indeed, 

it can replace a tear

with warm smiles and

sweet memories. 

~

I reviewed the pages from days of long ago,

a lifetime in passing filled with highs and lows.

Treacherous the crossing, leery the soul, to

travel through the darkness and somehow 

let it go.

I thought it was betrayal, sinful if you will,

to remove the shield from heartache
 and allow the vulnerabilities of life to 

prevail. 

The journey full of sorrow,  that if a soul

could bleed, drained of life was I  and 

as dormant as the winter trees. 

~

I woke up in the morning,

a chill to my soul, as if 

the night had ended and

taken from me your most

precious hold. 

~

Time

Time strikes with a vengeance, 

a reminder of its control, taking 

with it our youth and replacing

it with a calendar for fools.

For we can count the days 

and not one will we hold still,

as each quick passing moment, 

breaks down the strongest shield.`

~

I have come to terms with all

my yesterdays and no longer

can the tears of life leave their

stain on me. 

For today is quick in passing 

and the years have slipped away

and whether it was time or fate,

the outcome is still the same.

~

Love is many things to many people... to me its a kiss good
morning and a kiss goodnight.

~

Truth can be painful but it will always

 guide you in the right direction.

~
The unknown is the greatest of fear,
that which you cannot see nor feel,
but affects you never the less.
~
When I think how much more 
and than I think of you and say more....much more. 


~


Closing my eyes and we are hand in hand,
Closing my eyes and I feel your hug, 
Closing my eyes and we are caught in a kiss,
Closing my eyes for a moment of bliss. 


~
Prison is the locked gates upon the mind,
unlocks the gates and frees the spirit. 


~
I need my train conductor... I think I can.
~
Overly sensitive... so that is why I wipe away the tears. 

Sharing hearts,breathes love,

sharing souls, awakens the passion.

~

I need a lifelong hug. 

~

The biggest loser in life,

is one who uses another 

as a pawn in a game. 

~

Of course the biggest winner,

is the one who recognizes,

the purity of love. 

~

Scattered memorabilia has no meaning,

but that which touches the heart,

is created of forever dust.
