Singing With the Angels

I acknowledged love

when the void within me no longer existed.

~

 

Some chapters are frightening,

that is why I keep reviewing my favorite.

If I could gather up the stars
and string them across the sky,
I'd use them to write the words
an eternal gesture of the love of
you and I.

Like lavender on my pillow ,
your image suggest a calm,
that comforts me in the night
with your love from afar.

Listen With Your Heart

I could hear the thunderous waves in 

their roar against the mighty rocks, 

as if they knew I was really listening

I'd had sworn they really could talk. 

Powerful is the vastness of the sea,

I found myself lost in it as if it were a dream. 

Caught up in the moment, it was no surprise

when I reached out, it was you by my side. 

~

If I could soar the heavens, 

I'd choose to be with you, 

always and forever is the title

in the chapter of " I love you." 

I'd hold your hand in every storm,

walking beside you is truly the norm. 

I channel my energy to lift you high

so we could dance high in the sky. 

If I could soar the heavens, 

I'd choose to be with you, 

always and forever is the title

in the chapter of " I love you."

I was once told to not allow my emotions to rule and that I was to rule my emotions. In an overwhelming chapter of my life, I find myself reaching for what feels warm and comforting. I find myself drawn to your arms. 

Hold me under the night sky, 

the stars are yours and mine. 

Close your eyes and open your heart

and you will see we bridge from a far. 

The mountains can't restrain us

and the clouds are a sky bus, 

as I send in the wind all my 

love to you, all my love to you. 

~

Can you hear the whispers of sweet memory? They

are tucked away in my heart for safe keeping. 

Some say they are haunting the memories of sweet,

as they have the power to lift me off my feet. 

My soul responds and a reminder sends to me, 

the tremble of my spirit when I think of you and I

I feel it in your absence, the energy of life that 

makes this life were living and makes it all seem right. 

...from day one.

Like a warm breath of air
and a sweet kiss to my lips,
falling in love with you leaves
memories of eternal bliss.

It could have been the way the
sun shined down on me,
could have been the song
that only angels can sing.

Something about the moment
as it made me realize
that no matter what happens
you are always by my side.

Somethings are dreams in passing
that will quickly fade away,
but love like ours is truly forever
and we will hold to this very day.
~
There is no way to erase all we have done, 
for you were in my heart from day one. 
Silly things remind me what love really means, 
like sharing a cup of tea while we dream. 

The ocean wave sounds are like music, 
the vibrations playing rare acoustics.
Simply remembering the moment, 
when you walked into my life.   

There is no way to erase all we have done, 
for you were in my heart from day one. 
Silly things remind me what love really means, 
like sharing a cup of tea while we dream. 

Grains of Sand

Time is indeed passing
and busy we may seem,
but I never fail to think of you
and what you mean to me. 

Your voice has been recorded,
It is there deep within my heart
and I play it over and over 
like music on a harp. 

Precious is each moment
as it makes me truly aware, 
how little time we have to 
truly stop and share. 

Many tears have fallen
and my heart like a ship at sea, 
floats upon the flood of tears 
while wandering through the dreams. 

I take each and every moment 
that I have left upon this earth 
to tell those who mean the most to me
about their God given worth. 
~

I'll never take for granted the rising of the sun, 
the stars that shine above us, the flowers now in bloom. 
I'll never forget your love and how it touched my 
heart and how our love just and grew and grew
to fill the heavens with the glow of a billion stars. 


~

There are a few that have touched my heart and a few that touched my soul, 

but you have touched my whole life and have a true eternal hold. 

~

I sat here counting my blessings

though heavy my heart may be, 

the song, the dance and happiness

shared both near and far are all 
apart of me. 

My heart was changed forever, 

for it was given sight and taught

to sing  and on this earthly place 
it made reality from a dream. 

~

No longer bathed in innocence,

guilty am I, for I have been touched

by your love and kindness and

found the truth I could not deny. 

I placed my faith in the heavens

that tomorrow will come and go,

as once more we will share in the
happiness that leaves an eternal glow.

My father never was a man for goodbyes he would say 

" see ya later" and so no goodbyes ...see ya later. 

I want an itinerary for life, 

what road are we traveling, 

what is our destination and 

when it does stop? 

~

I use to think that we were a puzzle waiting to be completed, 

but as life goes on I feel as if  we are pieces being put back in the box. 

~
My daughter is way smarter than I was at her age...that gives me hope.

Vulnerability

Troubled recently by my sisters need for a kidney, it shed light on our own vulnerability. I am not a stranger to death of siblings and parents. I have already buried a sister,  two brothers and my father. I have written many times to bring peace to those who have lost love ones. But as I standby helplessly and watch as my sister suffers and makes decisions, I again become aware of the limit time places upon us. 

I read an article in the news , where a news caster just tied the knot at 80 years of age. My sister didn't' get out of her 30's before she died and so you wonder about the journey in which each of us are on. I know we can't live in fear and saying goodbye is never easy. 

I ran through the memories

as I tried desperately to hold on,

I didn't know what else to do, 

as I knew time was moving on. 

Time is precious this life we know, 

there is no stopping like wind that blows.

I wanted to tell you before you are gone,

how much I love you and in my arms

you belong. 

~

. 

I have trouble with goodbyes

this you must already know, 

I can't understand how 

fast time really goes. 

I only want forever if forever 

means being with only you, as

all I ever think of is your hand

in mine as we stroll under the 

blue. 

I have troubles with goodbyes, 

this you must already know. 

I'll hold you in my heart and I'll

never ever let you go. 

~

There is no promise of tomorrow.

I hold on to the memories
that bring a smile to my face
and gently warm my heart
each and every day.

I can feel you in the mountains
with their amazing embrace and
in the dark of night when all
the stars are fixed in place.

There is no promise of tomorrow
and so each day I  say to you,
no matter whatever happens,
I will always love you true.

Splat!!!

When I was a little girl, I had this overwhelming sense of wanting to run away. I thought most kids must have experienced it at one time or another. The world was so big and I wasn't so courageous and at nine years of age, I found myself hiding in my mothers walk in closet, in my closet, under the bed. I even once embarrassing as this is to say, hid in the clothes hamper. I ended up always coming out because no one missed me.  As an adult when I needed time away , unlike normal people who had a drivers license, I would go to the attic. I could hear the children " where is mom?" An eventually would make my way down the attic steps, realizing that there really was no where to runaway.
It was those awful romantic comedies that came on the Rege Cordic hour on Sundays. You know the kind of movie, where the guy rescues the girl and they live happily after. I now know it was a set up for the Knight in Shining Armor Syndrome. That somehow I was going to be rescued .
I always felt trapped as if I was a character in someone else's book. That this script of life was out of my control. One day I began to rewrite life, I am not sure if I mean that in the literal sense.I met someone not so much a knight that would sweep me off my feet, but would take me far above the earth's surface. I was as my father would say pulling off " the Great Houdini ."  That is until someone pierces the cloud and you come tumbling done.

I took to the clouds
in the heavens above,
gazed on the earth
with the one I love.

Arms holding me tight in a
kiss on bright starry night.
The smile is forever mine
in a story written for all time.

My Poem

I saw it through the trees,
cresting above the hills,
the sun light of morning
with the love I feel.

I captured the moment
images of you and I
that I will hold in my
heart till the day I die.

The trees are now budded and
flowers are breaking ground
and I know that another season
has passed another has come around.

Time documents the chapters
of a story written in the wind,
left upon the clouds from
whence we first began.
