Rain

Rain is beauty in droplets of water, reminding me to breathe. Rain is a steady touch of coolness, in-spite of life’s great heat. Rain is magic sprinkles, falling all around me. Rain comes in, I close my eyes peace once again has found me.
Garden Of Dreams

I prepared the ground and soil
To plant a wonderful garden you see
Not of vegetables, flowers or plants
But a beautiful garden of dreams
Each day I’m sure to water
The seeds deep in my ground
Of taking chances, adventures
And new opportunities found
Then finally at the appointed season
The hardest work will end
And I will reap the harvest
Where living the dream begins
The words of a picture

He sits quietly on a park bench
Adjusting his view of the world
His dreams trying to clench
The struggle around which his thoughts swirled
He’s always looking for purpose
A place to call his own
Some days he thinks he finds it
Others he spends alone
Each morning he walks a new path
Taking chances with each breath
He opens each door with caution
To avoid inspirations death

NATURE

A standing tree lifted high
I see each day as I pass by
Every summer giving shade
Every fall colored leaves fade
Rings inside with stories to tell
How this tree stood while others fell
Winter branches empty and still
Spring branches waiting for birds to fill
A standing tree lifted high
Has become a friend as I pass by
REFLECTION

I stare out into the deep blue sea
A mirror looking back at me
Reality in all its truth
Is looking from reflections booth
Drummers drumming out of beat
Trying hard can’t find my feet
Walls reflection as I pass
Hear the falling sand of hours glass
Thunder Rumbles, clouds roll by
Wondering why I all but die
Raging emotions cut too deep
Promises never meant to keep
Passing mirror myself I see
Backwards reflection of who I can be
Stage is set won’t be long now,
Curtains up take a bow
Mirror of me disappears
True image is left minus the fears
Somewhere Over The Ocean

Somewhere over the ocean
My heart found its home
Over the waves of Blue and Green
on smoothed out rounded stone
Somewhere over the ocean
I found the missing piece
I was unable to see it until now
For it was hidden by the sea
Somewhere over the ocean
My eyes were opened wide
All my fears were washed away
All my dreams washed in with the tide
One Step

Someone somewhere had to be first
First to break the mold, change the path, break the curse
Someone, somewhere had to be the change
To change the people's hate filled minds
to love, to forgiveness, to grace
Someone, sometime had to say enough
Enough of the closed minded thinking
Give acceptance, compassion, be love
