Indulging my most lucid daydreams

...and what a journey it is.

 We start out alone and end alone. 


Experience is the chapters we call life.


Feelings are the strings of the heart.


If you could die more than once...I have felt that pain several times.


What could have been is like stopping at a four way cross in the road.


I miss you more than I ever thought possible.


Classic movies always scripted " the end" 


Life is nothing but lessons till our last breath.

Spring in the Heavens

 When the stars come out at night,

darkness falls and the moon shines bright. 

That's the time I close my eyes 

and find you here by my side. 


My last thoughts trigger the dreams, 

positive with sweet memories. 

Comforting they brought you here and

through the dreams we share.


Love between the two of us

is as magical as it can be, 

for in the dark of the night 

in your arms is where I'll be. 


The heavens whisper softly

a reminder of what you mean to me, 

wonderful and amazing, thrilled with desire,

nothing can separate the souls as they have 

all the power.


I don't know if you ever think of me, 

but I find the comfort of each dream. 

Call it whatever you want it to be , 

closure or not or simply another day of spring. 


~


I don't wanna open my eyes, 

I don't wanna stop dreaming of you, 

all that I have was found on this path

even if I can't ever have you back. 


I don't wanna open my eyes,

I don't wanna stop dreaming of you, 

the happiness that I am feeling 

comes from the love I have for you/

Dance

 Some people cross your path like a Monarch Butterfly heading on migration and maybe or maybe not to return . Some people are special to cross your path and stay for the full journey and for that rare individual I am blessed. As I listen to the music sent to me years ago I think wow how fortunate I am.  On those days when I am a wee bit melancholy listening to these songs is when I get a message that lifts me up. Sometimes the people furthest away can be the closest in heart. For that reason alone I am ever grateful. 

I think it is a dance in the kitchen moment ... holding you close as we dance.

Favorite Dream

 Each year the wood ducks return to nest, 

swimming up the stream in their yearly fest. 

Somethings vary as much as they stay the same

for the seasons of life always present a new day.


The catkins of the willow have come and gone

as the wildlife of nature forms to create a song,

sometimes with a reminder how short life can be

and a notation of how minute in the universe are we. 


Old folks mention "being on the top of the green grass"

everytime I hear the adage I begin to laugh. 

Nothing is forever that is most certainly 

so I go about reviewing my favorite dreams. 


The visual amazing as if reality, 

feeling your heart and soul right here with me,

I can almost taste the sweetness of your lips 

as I go about daydreaming of our kiss. 





Snuggled Up To Your Memory

 The winds were howling 

in a loud and haunting way, 

taking on the hills as the 

trees violently swayed. 


I quivered from the chill

as the storm was moving in, 

in this early spring season 

of battling rain and wind. 


I took to the house 

with pillow and blanket lay, 

thinking of the sunshine 

that you brought my way.


It warmed my heart 

as my soul now soared free, 

in the comfort of the moment

snuggled up to your memory. 


Shared

 One moment created a memory

and each memory triggers thoughts, 

teetering on the many emotions 

stored away within my heart. 


One side of a story 

my view and mine alone, 

of the many chapters of life

that just can't be let go. 


~


I took a ride to the city

a world different indeed, 

but an experience all the same

documenting I am truly free. 


The years have passed by

the path paved by choice,

led me in several directions

a few in which I rejoiced.


One book with many chapters

one ends and a new one starts,

though each are very different

only one holds my heart. 


Some are filled with sadness, 

heartache and despair 

but I savor the one 

that you and I have shared.

We

 There is nothing that I could do

to change the worlds hue, 

the sun will shine and the skies of blue

behind the clouds will appear the hue. 


Life continues on 

there is no right or wrong, 

different perspectives true, 

how you feel and I feel for you.


If it were meant to be

I wouldn't have you in my dreams, 

you'd be here and I'd be there 

and our life we would share.


I found it difficult

to the turn the page of life, 

wanting what cannot be 

in hope that you and I would 

be a we.

Part

 There is a song in the sound of the wind,

whispering to you my friend of days gone by.

From the moment we said hello, I couldn't let go

as you've become a central part of me. 


There is dream, I dream every night, 

the feelings I can't fight as I see you there. 

From the moment we said hello, I couldn't let go

as you've become a forever part of me. 


~


The  years have quickly passed by

and I still sit here dreaming of you. 

Imagining how life could be 

if you were with me till the end. 


~

Time prepares us for the moment

as the lessons of life add up. 

I think I always knew it 

from the child that looked into her 

grandmothers eyes. 


This is where life leads us,

the path we're meant to be on,

as we journey further while

looking back at the days long gone.

When

 When the dreams feel real 

and real feels like a dream, 

then we've captured the moment

where we've got everything. 


When you've got me and I've got you, 

we will take on the heavens and rule the blue.

like a dance between two lost souls, 

a smile and a kiss never gets old. 


If I Fall

 If I fall will you catch me ? "Don't fall." There are way to many stories of the knight in shining armor. The princess being rescued and running away to happily ever after. No knight, no princess, no rescue, no happily  ever after....just don't fall. No matter how old I get I find everyday brings something new. If you are not learning you are not living. I found there is no such thing as unconditional love. That two people loving on the same level is rare if not impossible. That life is a game and someone is always making a move. That the journey is to experience and loneliness is just one step in the journey. 

One set of stars above,

so many kinds of love,

a path that leads nowhere

as it circles back to here. 


The differences can't be explained,

older, wiser yet the same, 

like a game piece makes the move

I prepared to lose. 


I watched the moon cross the sky

as if it played tricks with my mind,

another day and another night 

is this all there is to life?


I couldn't bear to say goodbye 

as if something inside me would die,

I hung on to that very first hello 

as if I just couldn't let go. 


This story never to be told 

it never seems to get old, 

the feelings inside grow,

is this where the path goes?


It feels like a dead end

no chapters to begin, 

I can't see tomorrow thru

as there is no me and you. 


So many mistakes 

is that what it takes?

Lessons of old 

some still not told.


Tears never cease to fall

can't wash away it all, 

everything is carried on 

like words of a love song. 


~

I can't tell you exactly how it feels, 

so I'll borrow the words that history instills.

From forever after, to a love so true

in a song sung just for you. 


Maybe you'll think of me 

when the sun begins to rise 

and maybe again when

the night rules the sky. 


The energy can't be denied

powerful it united you and I. 

lost on a detour or two it aways

 comes back to me and you.

The Irony

 Sometimes we start out on our journey in life trying to find where we fit in, to find that we are just a piece in someone else's puzzle. We are everything and we are nothing as if we are the light and the darkness.

Another Rainy Day

 Fed the chickens, 

gathered the eggs,

darkened skies

another rainy day.


Thought of you

as I always do, 

in a daydream 

of skies blue. 



~


Surreal dreams and there you are with me,

a little question as what could be

if you held my hand and followed me

every day would be lovely.


Closing my eyes to see you here, 

as the heavens rays appear.

What I know and what could be 

is a s magical as my sweet daydreams.
