I am the power of the wind...

What makes us who we are and how we think? How does personality develop and what makes us the same or different? These are questions I have always wondered, as I look over the holiday traditions that we pass down from generation to generation. There is the obvious, culture and religion, which at times does more to define our similarities than it does to develop a free thinking process. Yet all of it plays apart in how we see the world and how we respond and yes our needs and wants.

I can honestly say it took years to unlock the doorway to self awarness, to understand the thought process, the choices and the path life leads us on. Still each day brings various experiences that influence or lead us in a direction that brings a different view of love and life.

It is true that we never stop learning and who we are is like a kalidescope, and each time you look at it, spin it around, the view becomes more beautiful. That is how I feel about life, every opportunity, every step along the way brings a new sense of joy and a magic that has yet to be experienced till that very day.

Our past is but a reminder of a lesson learned, the present and awareness of what is and our tomorrows the dreams for the future. Who are we? In a spiritual sense we are the energy fueled by life. Why do we think the way we do? Each experience and action or response is recorded and dealt with accordingly, a moment stored till further use. What makes us different ?I don't think we are different, just how we react, how we digest the food of life.

I am the power of the wind that brings you an awakening,

the sun that warms your heart on the cold and darkest of days.

I am the blue of the sky that embraces your spirit with my love,

I am the sharing of a moment, the dream that awaits the touch of reality.

Winter Love

You can change the focus but you can't alter love,

the degree of happiness is not wagered on how

you view, but on how you share

the gifts from above.

Snow Crystals

Warms My Heart

Snow abreast the mountain top, pure creates a scene,
where yesterday is all but gone and today is all I see.
~

Love equates with the energy of the heavens

to shower down upon us the beauty of a season.

~

When hope is all there is and all that is brings hope,

then dreams are but the gateway, and your love

the sleigh upon the slope.

... as winter speaks, the soul listens.

I could not feel the sun's warmth and the glory of its rays,
but as the light shone upon the hills, I saw an amazing gift,
as if a curtain of darkness had fallen and the beauty of life
and the love it brings was revealed.

Love

The snow has fallen, now a blanket of white,

with the music of life and you and I.

The trees are silent,they'll never tell, the

secrets of my heart that fell under your spell.

My feet dancing on a lovers high, as you put

the blue in the blue of the sky.

Embrace with Reality

I have felt your kindness embrace my very soul,

as your love strokes the heart in the story yet to be told.

~

Your voice breaks the silence and records from memory,

the days of laughter and the songs still left to sing.

~

The snowflake melted, the wind against my face, the

breath of the moment has me hungering for a taste.

Time and place, the journey, direction and our goals. What is it all about? What does it all mean? I have felt a shadow that had cast a darkness over the last few days. As I tried to understand the motives, desires and dreams of a cast of characters, I realized that I could only be responsible for the choices that I myself had made. I sensed the ache within my heart, the ache that is well aware that time can empower or strip life of opportunity. Such vulnerability fails to break through the entanglement of the web. The web which was spun and put in place from early childhood on and became layered and tightly woven as the years went on.

I thought of a infant that stretched to a crawl and a toddler who dares the first step and the time it takes to grow and gain in strength and the will to learn, achieve and gather the knowledge that awaits. The last few years seemed similar as step by step I walked on the journey of awareness. The timing unveiled the achievements which go unnoticed to many except for those who had journeyed along side me. Minute as they maybe each step took me forward and helped me to find my place in the world. I celebrated throughout the year as people bought, read and requested piece after piece of my heart felt words. I felt many who embraced me with kindness as they trusted me with their skin care needs. But the real achievements those which few have seen comes with the sun which melts the winter snow and brings forward the days of spring.

A rose in silk never withers,
it petals will never live to die,
and unlike a summer day,
it will never enjoy blue of the sky.

I cannot explain the darkness or the
night that drapes the sky with gray,
but I can tell you what lights my soul
led my heart your way.
~
The new year feels the sorrow of yesterdays gone
by and celebrates the journey tomorrow has in mind.
~

It is because I don't have to explain that

I know you have seen my heart.

~

What do I seek? I desperately seek the place where

love flourishes and dreams become reality.

~

The Extinguished flame awaits your love...

~

It takes a combination of faith, trust and love to hold

the heart and dance with the soul.

~

Determination wills the spirit,

it takes courage to free it.

~

My demands are rather simple,

if my heart is what you claim.

For we shall bridge the distance

to bring happiness to the day.

~

xox

The music teased my spirit,
the dark to light the blame,
toying with my mind, the
heavens scripted your name.

Hauntingly becoming, I could
feel you next to me, your soul
to mine in my early morning
dreams.

The want and need to hold
you, the happiness we share,
the meeting of our hearts,
we're inseparable my dear.
