It is not always black and white

I always found decisions to be difficult because there is a multitude of ways of looking at them. It is like standing at four corners and peering into a life. From each corner you can see it how it would affect the people in the center. It made me think, is a person brave or weak when their choices reflect what others feel and need and not what they feel and need? There is definitely no easy answer. It is like being a fly in a web, the web is tight and the more you struggle the tighter it becomes. So tight that you feel like you're suffocating.

I just wanna live
and wake up to your kiss,
I just wanna live
and feel the tenderness
of your lips.

I just wanna know
that you love me true,
I just wanna know
how you make my
sky blue.

~

The more you see beyond the blue,

the tighter the web that strangles you.

Just to be with you

Just to be with you,
would be my dream
come true, the simple
stroll each day would
chase away the gray.


Just to be with you,
would be my dream
come true, to feel
your hand in mind
and waste away the
time.

Just to be with you,
would be my dream
come true, to wake
unto your arms and
feel each beat of
your heart.

Just to be with you,
would be my dream
come true, to share
the night sky and
dance with nothing
on the mind.

Just to be with you,
would be my dream
come true, to fall
asleep and know
that no matter where
we go, I'll love you
so.

Just a Little Bit of Romance

Joining hearts,
embracing souls,
entwined for ever
as time takes a toll.

Love revealed
for all to see,
your sweet embrace
for all eternity.
~


Just a little bit of romance,
with a candle lit at night,
petals red and pink
a blanket of delight.

Music softly playing
the tune for you and I,
celebrating love , both
day and night.

Just a little bit of romance,
with a candle lit at night,
petals red and pink
a blanket of delight.

Perfection is you lying
here next to me , on
a magical moment,
directed by my dreams.

Just a little bit of romance,
with a candle lit at night,
petals red and pin
a blanket of delight.
~
If I was gonna runaway,
I 'd run into your arms,
where you could hold
me through the night as
we gaze unto the stars.

If I was gonna fall asleep,
I'd dream , sweet dreams
of you, in hopes of
bringing you closer under
the heavens blue.

If I was to cast a silhouette,
the souls of two entwined,
like braids of your heart
there with mine.

~

Watching the fireworks,
dreaming those dreams,
the ones where happiness
brings you to me.

Blue skies blue and
the heavens quickly part
on the one on one invitation
where loves gets its start.

Happy Fourth of July

Independence has taken on a whole new meaning as I found myself responsible for more than I ever imagined. Of course I think it is independence with strings as the network is much more complicated at my age. But as we celebrate the birth of a nation, I will also celebrate when hearts and souls soar free.


Living on a memory and those sweet dreams of you,
dancing on the clouds in the sky above the blue.
Happiness and joyfulness is all that can be found
when I call out your name and the blue birds
fly on down.

Secrets kept safely deep within my heart, I care
not to share them they were there from the start.
They are built on passion and fueled by desire
the love of two souls that have yet to reach
the ground.

Awakened like the angels in the early birth of spring,
the season now passed brings the hot of summer dreams.
Hills that become a conquest with more yet to follow
on the road of disbelief when hearts meet up with sorrow.

Stay On the Sunny Side...always on the sunny side

 

I don't usually remember the time when I was younger than ten. But this camp song keeps running through my head. I was eight years old and on my way to Heinz house camp. In some ways the song with jokes became a reminder that no matter how crazy life, it is important to stay on the sunny side.  As my life throws before me many obstacles and challenges...I find this song in some ways hauntingly reminding me to ...
Sings>Stay on the sunny side,
Always on the sunny side,
Stay on the sunny side of life.
You'll feel no pain as we drive you insane,
If you'll stay on the sunny side of life. 

Ya Gotta Hate Those Fairy tales...No Castle , No King!

My daughter was watching an old Marilyn Monroe Movie. After the movie ended she said" I just don't get it!" Times have changed since the late fifties and early sixties and yet movies and fairytales are still told of the prince and princess who live happily after. Does happily ever after even exist? I would think not because the mind has the ability to complicate even the simplest of moments and upon second thought with the right person maybe happily ever can be forever.
 We all have goals that we wish to attain both personally and professionally, if by attaining those goals would we than achieve happiness?   Personally the greatest accomplishment is to love and be loved and professionally it would be to reach a financial comfort zone.


My sweet love the day has just begun
and soon the moon shall rule the sky
and all would be so meaningless if
it were not for the love of  you and I.

The morning comes with sunshine
and the afternoon a sky of gray,
reminders of what we have and
how quickly it can pass away.

The stroll along the shoreline,
feeding ducks  each day,
while holding hands forever
brings happiness our way.

Run Rabbit Run

Fear not rabbit
though the fox
has you on the
run, around and
around circles
the day will
soon be done.

The sun will soon
set, the stars will
take to the sky
and you will
rest another
night till you
run rabbit run
again.

If I had the strength at this very moment I would...

Just a thought

When I was a little girl it was so very important that we say our prayers each day. No matter what the day held, we were to kneel beside the bed and recite memorized prayers at night and again before rising in the morning. Of course we were never to ask for any special favors, because the Lord doesn't grant request of greed. Each night I would say "Dear Lord... may I  be strong enough so I can help myself and others. " As time went by I found it was not so much in prayer but in actions that our life was dependent upon. The path we walk, the decisions we make and who we choose to walk with us.

It has been commonly said " the eyes are the window to the soul "

that was my big mistake... I didn't look.

 

 

If...

~

 

My mind is like seeds scattered in the wind.

 

 

~

 

 

It is not possible to hate something you once loved,

as nothing is as it once was.

 

~

 

Decisions, decisions, decisions...occasionally they are made for you.

~

 

The revelation is some cross your path,

others are there for the long haul.

 

~

Friendship can only do so much ,

the willingness to get out of bed

 and face the day well that is ...

~

 

Cautious or wiser? maybe both.

~

 

 

I don't know which is worse,

waking from the dream to find it's only a dream

or failing to dream at all ?

~

 

 

If you ever seen a classic romance movies

they would have you believing you can dance on the clouds forever.

 

~

 

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down

that is kind of me on a daily basis.

 

~

The love of life is kind of like when you are looking for

your eye glasses and they are on top of your head,
 it's there we just can't see it.

~

Life is a puzzle tossed up in the air,
the pieces are all around and finding
them to interlock correctly is our
challenge.

Love would never walk away, it would see you through the day, like the sun that meets the moon it never fades into the gray. Rainbows are fleeting, the stars are here to stay as true love takes a heart and holds it through the day. ~

Love is meant to be shared or

it becomes and empty vessel

going nowhere.

That which is like a rainbow
exciting and beautiful but
quickly fleeting, reminds
us lust comes and goes
but true love is forever.

~
There is a weakness in the web that
was heavily spun throughout the years.

~

The deeper you go into yourself,

the more you understand around you.

~

 

Here is my heart and like a kaleidoscope you
can see through it the ever changing world.

~

I am not sure you can ever be

 prepared for the unwritten chapters.

~

I was fifteen the first time I experienced a broken a heart...

but it wasn't till today that I accepted it.

~
There is traditional and than there is love.

Van Morrison~~have i told you lately that i love you~~
