just to fill in the blanks

I breathe
In the infinite spaces of darkness
Unechoed songs of a silent heart
I am of unrevealed shadows and secrets
Of quiet snow
And silent stars
I seek
The quiet moments of remembrance
The secret sorrow of regret
I hear
The secret lives of rain
Here
In my silent
Tearless pain

water colors

i have always loved the rain.

the heavens come down to kiss the earth.

that is why i never bring an umbrella.
never have. never will.
even in the strongest of storms.

who am i to deny the sky its free fall?

so let it fall. let the heavens cry.

and dance
as you find
in every drop of rain,

a piece of sun.

paper chase

my dreams are paper planes

floating on a sea
of chances and accidents.

what drives it on,
what it keeps it floating
my fragile paper plane...

why do you go where you go?
are you stronger than the wind?
are you greater than the storm?

take flight my paper plane.

away from this universe of tears,
apart from this world of lies...

and find among the heavens,

our place.

How Do I Love Thee? A Deconstruction

How do I love thee?

Let me count the ways...

I love thee with the boundlessness of light's journey -
In the blink of an eye, across endless space.
I love thee with the calm patience of flowers in snow,
In the season's change, as they keep the promise of spring.

I love thee truly as the river finds the sea.
I love thee faithfully as the shore awaits the tide.
I love thee with the hope and ardent longing of day for night,
Of twilight's endless wait for dawn.

I love thee with the innocence and recklessness
Of youth's dreams and childhood memories...

I love thee with the faith I have kept
In remembered failures and lost victories.

And if God so shall decide
I shall but love thee more in paradise.

promised land

I have searched for you

Among oceans of souls
It is so easy to be lost…

Are you adrift in seas of ravaged dreams?
Will you never come, believing
That I have been found?

Am I lost to you?

...If in your heartbreak
You are led astray,

Remember

That in all song and circumstance
I was meant to be lost
With you.
