The Answer Book

I always thought it would be great if there was an answer book for life. Chapters that revealed the alternatives and possible outcomes.  It seems easy to hold on to the past good or bad and much more difficult to know the future.
I have always been a bit of weather connected. Thriving on sunshine and melancholy when it rains. Maybe because rain means you are usually stuck indoors and that gives a person way to much time to think. I have scanned chapters of my life, laughed a little and cried a little and I actually feel a bit angry with my own decision making. But you can't change the "what is"I call it a scream in silence day.

It's not a want or need
our hearts were meant to be,
like sunshine after the rain
you bring the warmth to me.

You are the joy of life
and feels so awfully right,
to share in your day
makes the sadness go away.

It's not a want or need
our hearts were meant to be,
like sunshine after the rain
you bring the warmth to me.

and I love you so!

You know how you freeze a moment. I was standing at the sliding glass doors, the willow overgrown and the ducks quacking. It was at this moment that I felt so close to you and yet somehow separated by the pane of glass. The aftermath of holding emotions in over the years resorts in a release of tears that somehow helps the soul make it through another day. It reminded me of the poem I had written so many years back " The weight of a tear" .  So much has had happened over the years, a blend of good and bad that we shared from a distance. Death of families members, adventures in business, sharing of the heart and the embracing of the soul. The memories flood in a way that becomes a way of cleansing as if the moments in time grew wings like a butterfly and took to the heavens.
Music has a way of triggering a memory or the emotions that come with memories. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and other times like a million light years away.  There is irony when you listen to a song and you relate knowing a zillion other people relate. Impossible for anyone to experience the exact trials and triumphs. That statement is indeed true that no two loves , romance memories are identical even though they can take a song and make it their own.
Going for a ride into the mountains today...and taking you with me. In my heart, side by side with my soul as we embrace the moment..".and I love you so. "

And I Love You So with Lyrics - Don McLean

Wishing

Wishing you were here
if only to say good night,
sweet kisses to your lips
while holding you tight.

I'm gonna start dreaming
as the darkness nears,
that is where I'll find you
for a moment to share.

Wishing you were here
if only to say good night,
sweet kisses to your lips
while holding you tight.

When I wake up
it's you that is on my mind
as it triggers the emotions
that lift me to the clouds.

Wishing you were here
if only to say good night,
sweet kisses to your lips
while holding you tight.

I look to the heavens
the stars shine so bright
and at this moment
I'm in your arms tonight.

Wishing you were here
if only to say good night,
sweet kiss to your lips
while holding you tight.

Now

If I haven't told you,
I'm telling you now,
my heart was yours
from the first smile.

The gift is eternal
it's a part of me
whether I'm awake
or deep in a dream.

I carry it with me
like a warm memory,
I carry your love
quite perfectly.

If I haven't told you,
I'm telling you now,
my heart was yours
from the very first
smile.

Summer Sunflowers

Summer sunflowers
and blue skies above
sweet thoughts of you
in a treasure we call
love.

Warms my spirit
sets my soul afire,
magic to the moment
and joy to the hour.

Summer sunflowers
and blue skies above
sweet thoughts of you
in a treasure we call
love.

Images that heighten
the feelings of desire,
simply to hold you
gives to love the power.

Summer sunflowers
and blue skies above
sweet thoughts of you
in a treasure we call
love.

Open up your heart
and there you'll see,
that you and I were
always meant to be.







Is there any other words
that have not been written
or any other song that
has not been sung?

Is there any other way
to make you feel
the way I'm feeling
each and everyday?
