Dream with me by the waters edge
Let our troubles sail the endless sea
Watch the night sky bloom before our eyes
Pretend the universe is made for you and me
We will drink the essence of stars
Dance slowly under the full moon gaze
Reverently we enjoy this magical moment
In our perfection of love for eternal days
The stars rain down in celebration
Of a connection that transcends time
We will always dream by the waters edge
Until I am in your reality and your in mine
As the summer fades away into the sunset
I stand under the autumn trees waiting for the fall
Memories made while others will be found again in nostalgia
I wish I could hold on and take them all
New colors seen under peerless sunsets
My mind taken to places far away I never knew it could go
I can still hear the ocean even when I fall asleep
As I begin to wonder if my happiness has reached the plateau
Now I sleep peacefully under a new sunset
Made with the kaleidoscope of all my memories
I found a peace I was never looking for
As it turned out it revealed an all new hidden me
Looking through the airplane window
I become nostalgic about some of
the best days of my life
that have passed
The pink and orange hues of the sunset
gives a fitting end to my journey
of the days I spent looking out
sitting on the grass
The things I saw and felt can only be
described as waking up from the
most beautiful dream and
realizing your still
in it
An awakening light rose up in me from
the very deepest of oceans within
to quench the thirst of my
yearning spirit
I didn’t know I was lost until I found
myself again basking in joy and
laughter of such I have not
felt in quite some time
I found myself thinking of poetic verses
that must have come from my soul and
entered my awakened mind
I will never forget the time spent as I
immortalize the memories onto my
heart so I can always see them
whether I am asleep or awake
I continue to stare out the window after
the memories go to sleep as I look
forward to more memories
together next time we
will make
Awakened by the shock of a broken dream
A lingering whisper crosses the fog of my mind
Deep breaths slows the rhythm of my racing heart
As I search for the source attentive to what I find
My molten body soaks in the cool sweat of its tears
Fumbling through the darkness of a dream I can’t recall
Fingertips begin to tremble in weakness
As I try to remember the words of the whispers last call
Thoughts wash away to the birds and their morning song
My heart slows to the rhythm of their tune
I remain in this moment of solace where I find peace
A gift of the soul as my heart rests in the ethereal boon
I await the sword of my whispering dreams to pierce my silence
Letters trickle in slowly as the wall begins to seethe
Words manifest as my heart begins to race with anticipation
My eyes flash open and I hear the whispers say…just breathe
Many miles I have walked on
scorching sands and over
snowy windy peaks
Searching for the path to find
a home where my soul can rest
in everlasting peace
Where abundance becomes a burden
for one but is a true blessing
for all
Auras of different shades mingle
to make the most beautiful
colors between winter
and fall
Where peace becomes not the goal
but the essence of how life
is lived
Where our measure is earned not on
how much we have but how much
we give
Oh how I yearn to walk these golden
plains on the fields of my most
passionate dreams
My soul will lead the way as my
heart remains thirsty until
quenched in the waters
of elysium streams

I feel the full moonlight of your
attention as you watch me
staring back at you
The vapors of your essence send the
stars away as I soak in the misty
drops of your hue
Your light is the unrivaled treasure
that comforts me in the time
of darkness
You quiet my thoughts with just a
gaze as I gain the focus to keep
my mind the sharpest
Wolves and creatures of the night
howl songs of their approval as
you watch with the soft glow
of your presence
A guardian standing watch over the
land bringing assured guidance
lighting up my soul in
divine luminescence
You bring the light of hope to those
that are lost in the darkness
placing no judgement on
their chosen way
As you disappear over the mountain
tops my heart calls out to you
drowning in tears pleading
for you to stay
Behind a silky green coat you hide
the brilliance of your nature as
I stand in reverence thinking
of the colors of your
past lives
You wait for the backdrop of spring
to begin to reveal your new petals
as they slowly awaken offering a
feast of beauty for my
yearning hungry eyes
I watch you as you drink in the rays
of the sun while being cradled
by the cool soil of the loving
affection of earth
I can smell the life of your fragrance
as the soft subtle breeze spreads
your essence and I bathe in the
light of your birth
You are the reason people look up
to the sky to look for your source
for you surely couldn’t be from
this place
Even the sun can’t wait for you to
come around again to light up your
soul shining through the beautiful
colors of your face
From the beginning seed of your life
to the birth of your bloom I
chronicle your existence
and capture the moments
in the time capsule
within my heart
Each time you bloom we will always need
to find the room to add another one
of your colors to the pages of
life and its endless colorful
chart
Life is a story meant to be told in
infinite shades of color each one
different from the rest
Each story has its similarities but
ultimately each is always different
from the next
Let the sun shine on the pages of
your life as you paint a picture
wearing shoes only made for you
Every stroke of your brush guided
by the whispers of your soul
reveals a picture straight
and true
Be the colorful inspiration to those
who still stare aimlessly at their
own stagnant blank page
Let them see the key resides in the
heart and if they look deep they
will find a way out of
their cage
Be the perfect example of yourself
as you paint your life showing
the world your colorful
individuality
Let our hearts paint the different
shades of our lives to be
combined in the mosaic
art of humanity
The beauty that is life I breathe in deeply
allowing the essence to articulate
its own passion to the audience of
my heart and soul
Slowly exhaling this beauty as vibrations of
love resonate in the halls of my memories
for me to cherish and hold
I find myself serenaded by the songs of stars
in the night sky as I look up and
appreciate the beauty that seemed
to be lost beyond this earth
The daylight reveals itself as the sun
illuminates the beauty of life that
surrounds me as priceless comes
to mind of the earth and
her worth
I stand in the euphoric sound of silence
watching beauty flower in elegance as I
drink in the eye opening coffee of
life through soulful eyes
Each moment captured by the sacred memory of
my heart to be replayed by my soul when I
feel lost and seek wisdom that
never dies
I wake up every morning thankful for each
breath I take as nature breathes her
life into my lungs living each
day like it is my very last
When my time here comes to an end I will keep
these memories of the beauty that is life as
a warm blanket for my soul as my bones
fade away in the soil underneath
the grass
Relays of flickering light reflect off
my eyes as I lose myself in the
touch of your gaze
Watching miracles made in the sky before
the veil of light comes at the dawn
of the day
My thoughts take a back seat to emotion
as I see the passion of the universe
spread meticulously across the sky
The heart of my soul releases the equality
of love as my earnest feelings give it
wings to fly
The stars above hear the pleads of my heart
as they flicker back at me with infinite
luminous lights of their love
I can feel the synergy of our heartbeats in
rhythm as my heart flies among them with
the graceful peace of a dove
As the flickers begin to fade away
disappearing in the morning
light and I close my eyes for
these last moments of
our dance
Faint whispers of the stars invite me to join
them when my body returns to the ashes and
my soul can finally advance
Let my words build you a stairway to
reach the inner sanctum of the
heart of my dreams
Close your eyes and follow the guidance
of my whispers as you intertwine
yourself in my ethereal seams
We merge together like a waterfall that
meets an endless river below
Remaining formless letting the river of
my dreams take you where it wants
to go
Tranquility rests in your being as you
are effortlessly carried closer
to the warmth of my spirit
As you soak in the raindrops of my words
they whisper sweet sonnets of love
that only your heart has the
ears to hear it
Fireworks of words explode in the air as
the embers of letters fill the canvas
of your empty thoughts
And a glowing lotus emerges into view as
it is a glimpse of my soul you have
unexpectedly caught
When I look for you in
my times of need
You always close the wounds
of my heart when it bleeds
I always return to you asking
questions of right and wrong
You give me an answer sometimes
in the flow and rhythm of a song
I can count on you to erase
the chaos of my fears
That’s why I hold you tight and
keep you near
I feel you the most when I
am alone
The warmth of your love you
always have shown
You light the darkest of halls
with just a spark of your light
I see you when I close my eyes
which is a comforting sight
You can never be bought for
any amount of a price
Without you with me I would
be lost in this life
When I thought I lost my identity
and found my mind stifled in a jam
I looked within myself to find
you to remind me of who I am
Standing on a dune feeling the salty breezy mist on my outstretched hands
Taking in the shining glittering sights of tiny gems that make up the sands
I hear and feel the waves crashing on the shores below me as I stand in awe
My heart and soul remain wide open to hear natures splendorous call
I make my way down to the beach and the feeling in me gets so much stronger
A feeling inside ready to explode with joy and laughter I can contain no longer
The sea and the sand coming together in a perfect beautiful union
There is no other place I would rather be to feel this harmonic communion
The wet kisses of the mist from the sea washing away my copious thoughts
As my heart embraces these moments of freedom that my mind has fervently sought
I can feel every grain of sand gently embracing my feet as I walk this enchanted land
No need for words for nature is speaking to me in a language my soul understands
Coming together as one with the water the wind the earth and sun inside of my heart
A peace comes over me knowing the soul of a beach and ocean leave with me when I depart
As I walk through the murky darkness of life
Shadows of doubt consume my thoughts that dim my light
At times I feel lonely and lost with no progress to be shown
Watching everything crumble around me as I stand alone
These shadows of doubt devour me trying to blacken my heart
Beating slower and slower until I start to fall apart
But I go on as my will does not let me quit
As long as my heart still beats and my soul is still lit
My dreams give me clues to what my heart and soul are trying to say
So I listen close and pay attention to turn this darkness into day
The pieces of my dreams puzzle fall onto the canvas of my life
Revealing with time my path guided by my internal light
Life is now pulsating in me with my heart shining like the brightest star
I can feel and taste it with my whole being I know I have come so far
The universe holds many paths that only my heart is the wisest to choose
So I take destiny by the hand and the shadows of doubt forever I lose
In need of no wings I soar the sky
 The vibrant brush of wind surrounds me as I climb ever so high
Flying down just above the blue green ocean
Feeling the cool soothing mist while I fly in slow motion
I close my eyes and spread my arms out wide
No fear no sorrow nothing for me to collide
I open my eyes and start to soar up again
Glistening beads of mist falling away from my skin
Beauty is everywhere as far as my eyes can see
From the flowers to the plants to the trees to the seas
I begin to fly higher and higher so that the earth is beneath
Infinite colors of light surround the earth like a wreath
At this moment I realize my vision of beauty is so very small
When the universe is the definition of beauty that encompasses all
My heart beats so hard it feels like it’s ripping through my chest
Inside me knows it wants to join the cosmos and have it’s final rest
So I let it go and it takes my soul with it far away
Finally feeling at home as I wake from my dream at peace where I lay
Walking on a path in the direction my heart can only understand
My destination seems so far I don’t know if I can
This destination is what my heart truly seeks
So this is no time for me to be stagnant and weak
I steady my pace and I keep going
My head held high with the light in my eyes of the horizon showing
Seeing many other people and animals along the way
I say nothing and just point the direction that lay
They all join me on my journey without saying a word
Listening to the words of their heart is only what is heard
We walk the same path breathing the same air traveling as one
Feeling the same wind the same love the same sun
All with the same reflection of the horizon in our eyes
The golden light of love that we hold deep inside
Mesmerized by the twinkling jewels that the nights sky displays
To the warmth of the sun that kisses our skin in the bright sunny days
The closer we get to our destination our souls start to brighten
And finally now we have reached the pale blue skies and golden horizons
The heart is the earth and the soul is the sun
Shining bright every moment which cannot be undone
The cloudy moments and storms come from the mind
For which you have the power to undo at any time
Let your will be the catalyst to do your choosing
The souls infinite light will provide your roofing
Plant those meaningful seeds in the soil of your heart
Feel the life in you begin to start
The sun will shine on your crop with endless light
Watch it grow with euphoric delight
Beautiful bright sunny days forever in spring we can live
All it takes is to care for what is the earth within
Being aware of the most subtle of breath I take
Euphoria rules my being that my heart will never forsake
Every gentle brush of wind to the sunlight that has kissed my skin
Feelings of gratitude warms my heart deep inside within
The sounds and smells stir nostalgia in this moment of bliss
I reminisce of the peace I felt when I finally saw through the hazy mist
Time does not belong in this moment for which it has no say
As the sun shines brighter within illuminating my soul in every which way
It’s moments like these I deem worthy as priceless
This is what it means to me to live in a moment of timeless
It’s that moment of time amidst the chaotic mind
Where awareness reveals itself from the state of being blind
An epiphany arrives to show it’s face of wisdom
Striking your thoughts with flawless precision
Some feel shame and the reminiscence of regret
Others see the designs of the next greatest invention as of yet
These moments show up quickly never making a sound
When you least expect it in your sleep or just sitting around
Whispering from your soul a message meant for you
As clear as a bright sunny day your answers lay anew
These moments of clarity never plot never scheme
They only show you whether you are doing the right thing
 A once proud structure standing in endless vegitation
Now has become a relic in decaying stagnation
An inescapable fate of what was once risen
Now a captor of natures infinite timeless prison
The seasons will pass and people will move on
All that remains is the resonance of nature so powerful so strong
People will try to burn and destroy to keep her at bay
But after your time is up she will endure and stay
She is the keeper of secrets and to few she will confide
Only tales of legend give clues to what history she hides
She will always be here long after you and I have gone
Covering up the scars of when man did her harm
Civilizations will rise and they will fall
Nature is the only one that will overcome it all
” The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscience ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscience ego could ever reach. ”
– Carl Jung
It’s that feeling we have deep inside,
That feels more like a roller coaster ride,
Hearts racing and palms sweaty,
All there is to do is hold on and get ready,
Once that ride goes down that track,
There will not be any turning back,
Where we are going is where we are destined to be,
To that place that only our souls can see,
When you look at me with fear of this ride that appears to end,
I assure you we have the power to make time suspend,
When our hearts come together in the most harmonic of ways,
Our souls will fly together forever beyond the end of our days.
