Always

 Make your peace with the Lord,

let his realty come through, 

as the only thing we are sure of

we always knew. 

In this life there is no guarantee

to wake up each morning and breathe, 

I take this time to tell you true

that I will always love you.

Lessons of Life

 It takes a lifetime of experience to truly understand 

and a special kind of person to hold your hand.

There are tears and laughter along the way

and the strength of love to get us to this day. 

It has been told " with age comes wisdom"

and I certainly must agree with them,

as I look back on my yesterdays 

I realize I'm  a piece in this life long game.

There is a lesson to be learned

even if we feel we've been burned,

for this much I can say is  true

"the day we stop learning in this life

we are through."

Sweet Dreams

 There is one sky above us

though we are far apart, 

the galaxy filled with stars

and a moon uniting our hearts.

You are always with me, 

a mere thought away, 

like a kiss from the heavens

where sweet dreams are made. 

~

I believe the journey was written

by someone other than me, 

from the first day we are born

you know there will be a few thorns. 

I might have a choice 

but something harnessed my voice 

and I don't think you could hear

my whispers of love.

~

Just to wake up in you arms

and feel the beat of your heart, 

that is all I would ever need

and to you I quietly plead.

The visions of sweet 

bring you ever close to me, 

if only in my dreams 

via the warmest memories. 

~

People don't understand

that this is part of God's plan, 

to reveal in its own way,

the love that heaven made. 

The tears swell from inside

as the memories toy with the mind,

a reminder of what could have been

as the loss is truly a sin. 

~

I can't see the sunrise this morning, 

the trees of late summer block with green,

the clouds of darkness are hanging low

and the chill of a new season screams.

There is an ache that resides in my heart

and a emptiness that leaves behind a void,

it might be why I have this awful dream

where I'm running to a place I've never seen.

It plays over and over in my head

so much so that it seems so very real, 

like a dagger straight to my heart

that is how vivid the dream is still.

Doing what is right,

looking towards the light,

the road before us 

has trouble in its sight.

Reaching out to hold you,

pulling you so ever near, 

my worried heart's in need 

without you there is just fear. 

Understand

 There were strangers 

and a place I couldn't identify, 

as it all appeared to me 

through a silly dream. 

Each day I try to understand

but the reality is so, 

that the images just won't 

even let me go.

I was running 

but no one was waiting,

except those strangers there

they daily reappear.

The old cliché comes into play.

" alone in a crowded room "

so I go about reviewing the dream

and wondering just who are "they"

I was running 

with no place to go, 

and the images were

clearly so 

Understand

 I see the day in a different light, 

nothings changed in the battle of life

it's not always easy to explain 

but it feels like a storm of hail and rain.

They say this is the time to rejoice 

but somehow I feel empty without voice,

as if no one is listening and somehow 

a part of me is internally missing.

I spent my life trying to get away 

and anchored I foolishly stayed,

most things come to an end

a lesson taught by a so called friend.

Reaching up for your hand

but the void must have been the plan,

I  constantly struggle to understand

but I seem to deny the truth.

Power of the Mind

 There is one thing certain, 

and the obvious is true, 

you can search the world 

but there is only one you. 

There is many a feelings

and each one might be new, 

as those who cross my path

have nothing on you.

Once a fool 

to the power of heartbreak, 

till I took complete control 

and gave the words a new day.

~

I  fell victim to the dreams

as they were clear to me, 

when I awoke I felt the magic

of renewing those memories.

I didn't want to open my eyes,

I wanted to stay there by your side, 

to share in this moment 

through the power of the mind. 

Souls

 I need to be there with you

to feel your flesh next to mine, 

the tears rolled down my cheek 

as I thought of you and the burden 

of time. 

Why is there so much sorrow?

Who wrote the script of life?

So many questions unanswered

as I travel without you by myside.

You'll never know how I feel,

the ache unsettling to the heart, 

I go about simply writing 

as it brings you close from afar.

I don't care how others feel, 

no comparison to you and I, 

as our souls once united 

now capture a place in the stars.
