Sunrise

No words between us
nor songs in the air
in the deep of silence
two hearts stop to
share.


Eyes tightly closed
and yet I can see
as I feel your arms
gently holding me.


There is a simple magic
and a joy from the start,
when you opened the
door to my heart.


~

My head upon your chest,
your heart a lullaby as
I listen to each beat
and watch the sunrise.

This might be heaven
or a trick of the mind,
as I close my eyes and
feel you by myside.

My head upon your chest,
your heart a lullaby as
I listen to each beat
and watch the sunrise.

Sunrise

I don't know where the month of June went, it is like a blink in time. The weather has cooled a little  bit and it is perfect for sleeping. I actually just enjoy lying in bed listening to the rooster crow and the birds chirp and the fan purr.
We go through life achieving and reaching a certain set of milestones. I am not referencing the usual achievements, church, school, birthdays and holidays that celebrate everything from anniversaries to marriage. I am referring to the milestones that are unique to each of us as individuals.  Many of these moments which are documented in time came a little later in life for me. When I think about it, I created a company, learned to drive and with each day I stroll through the day with the excitement and wonder that brings with it new experiences.
Sunday I traveled a little further into the mountains. Traveling alone I was a bit over anxious, over cautious and overly concerned with whether I could do it or not. As I took to the road and the traffic was minimal to the usual week day traffic, I felt at ease and much more relaxed. Pulling into the Christian Clay Winery,  I entered a zone of both a warmth and a comfort. I had reached a milestone, I had traveled, set up and succeeded in carrying out my endeavors , some that people only dream of.
Celebration! We celebrate many holidays throughout the year, but the greatest of celebration is with each morning. We rise to meet the rays of the sun and the mystery that life unravels before us. I use to be more concerned with my legacy what I would leave behind than in the days celebration. I can't help repeating the cliche as it is going back to the writings of shakespeare " all the world is a stage..." That little space under the tent is my stage and I rule my little world. The excitement comes knowing I can and I am doing. I have faced many fears and stood my ground as I challenged the trials. Somewhere on my desk, under a mountain of papers is the little framed engine " I think I can..I think I can, I know I can!"
Where will this journey take me and what will come of it all? That I don't know, there is no crystal ball to tell the future. But I have learned to appreciate the magic of the moment , the glory of the day and the privilege to journey but once through life.
I was speaking with my mothers, I was her fifth pregnancy and she said" I should have stopped after the first. " I said " I wouldn't have been born had you stopped " She replied " I wouldn't have missed what I didn't know" Well I wasn't all so excited to hear her version of life and regrets. But I am here and I am alive and I have even in a  minuscule way made a difference in the world, in the lives of my children, family and friends. Just as family and friends and the people I have met make a difference in my life.

The Glory

To watch the sunrise,
stroll by the stream,
blanket in the grass,
lay and daydream.

Challenge each moment,
while holding your hand
and celebrate the glory
of love of the uncharted
 plan.

Sunrise

 Like pages set to flip book animation 

so turns the chapters of my life.

Singing>I'm living in a dream, I'm dancing here with you,
I can feel your heartbeat as I am holding on to you.

Hands in the air, spinning all around, dancing on the 
clouds as they fall from the blue sky down. 

I'm living in a dream, I'm dancing here with you,
I can feel your heartbeat as I am holding on to you.

Laughter everywhere, dreams that bring you here,
as I dance in my lovers arms, as I dance in my
lovers arms.







Waiting on the sunrise, goodbye to moonlit skies,
there is no surprise when I open up my eyes.
I see you smiling, smiling on down me, your
reflection from the heart is seen in everything.

Waiting on the sunrise, goodbye to moonlit skies,
there is no surprise when I open up my eyes.
Like the warmth that I felt all night long, you
stepped in my heart and rewrote the love song.

Waiting on the sunrise, goodbye to moonlit skies,
there is no surprise when I open up my eyes.
You are with me, you never left my side and
I know this to be true, from deep down inside.

..and I sang of my love for you.

The sunrise crests the skyline of autumn wind blown trees, with colors of life which enhance the memories. Warm shades of pink and comforting stills of blue; tempt the inner depth of my soul to embrace with all my love for you.

Down in the valley, silence played a game, but my heart was ready and the bells of love rang. Strike the cords of gold, this song I sing for you, with whispered words of love, meant only for lovers times two.

Angels take position, the celebration is now, and our souls shall rise to the heavens, to embrace what God sent down. Pleasuring cloud dancing, singing on a high, my heart and soul chancing, plays tricks with my mind.

One tear fallen, erased from memory, replaced with your love which I keep tucked away inside of me. We took the highest mountains, we turned them into grains of sand, and again we took the ocean and the waves we both command.

I've sent you all my love, allow it to flood your soul, to wash away the sadness and replace with stories still untold. Shared moments await the meeting of flesh, where my heart feels your heart beyond the measures of the earth.

The sunrise crests the skyline of autumn wind blown trees, with colors of life which enhance the memories. Warm shades of pink and comforting blue; tempt my soul to embrace with all my love of you.
