Todays thoughts..5-31-08

I'm sure you can relate,
Those times when we get
lost inside ourselves...
The days are long,
the nights are short, the stress is high, the answers fly...

We take things out on the ones we care about the most.

Supply and demand
don't seem to balance.
We can't see clearly,
what lays before our eyes.
Our hearts are heavy, our smiles are gone.

All in the course of a day.
what's wrong?

Strength in believing

Wishing wells were meant for wishing,
but do they all come true...

It's not a game,
this is for keeps,
Our vulnerability,
we care not to share,
Less it makes us weak...

When all else fails,
There's always hope..
All our unanswered prayers.

Wishing wells,
run deep,
Connecting our souls in sleep,
Answers prevail within our dreams,
Allowing us more wishes...

Stowe Vermont Mountain

I found this pond,
the size of a lake,
nestled up high, in a mountain top.

I climbed and I climbed and I climbed,
Although I made many stops along the way,
to breathe and take in the view,
I thought I wasn't going to make it...

Passers by,
On their journey down,
urged me to continue on,
I climbed till I was ready to quit,
2000 feet or more upon this mountain top,
This ice cold pond,
enveloped me.

I swear it could have been a lake,
Was it worth the trip?
yes, as I urged the passers by...

A Season

A single leaf,
Expressing death,
Retires it's change of term...

For anyone who has visited my site recently,
I apologize for lack of update.
I was on vacation for awhile,
and chose not to use any forms of communication.
Had a great time, but now, back to business.

Stay tuned for new posts, and hope
to see you all checking it out...
stay cool...

Finding Revelation

There are times,
when the silence
is louder than the words...

What you hear,
is different from what
you see..

We contemplate,
we weigh through,
We struggle with a word or two..

We close our eyes,
exhale our minds,
hoping to find something new..

But when the silence,
shadows us..
We're far from being through.

M and J

I love you as deep..
as the depths of the sea,
as high as my eye can see,

My sugar plum,
and shortcake,
Prevail your innocence with glee..

How you steal my heart,
when you look at me,
That life that you bring,
overwhelms ..
of once I only dreamed...

When age took a better part of me,
bestowed upon an honor,
I cannot believe..
How precious you are to me.

Opening your heart

Love can be a paragon
of illusion,

A barricaded wall
of intrusion,

A tight rope of indurance,

An emotion one
nourishes with experience,

A period of trial and error,

Love can be a bond,
if we let it be...

Survival

Within your eyes,
I sometimes see,
The pain and the hurt,
the emotional defeat..

Straining to keep,
the tears from falling,
you choose not to speak.

You radiate a special strength,
a strength one endures from deep
within the soul.

When darkness is the only light
your sight can see,
When silence echos across the walls,
from which your heart has fallen from.
