Birth

Within your hand
you hold the key
that takes me to places
never seen...

Only imagined
in distant dreams
a place so wondrous
blooming from seed...

Cultivated from time
I've weaned...
gestation period
once was deemed

And now you've
place your time with me
Shuttered to gleam
you hold the key.

Extravaganza Of Spring!

A new time of year
springs forth into the air
new birth abounds
replenishing last years'


Rotation masquerading
as something new
it's been around for centuries
as I and have you...


Although not acquainted as with age
survival tested has been saved
Fluttering to make an appearance
one by one comes to stage...


Spring forward! Timeless age
of beauty
Reclaim your spot of duty!
Your audience is waiting
Standing ovation only...

The Magic of A Smile

The smile
that captivates
even the smallest child
that lights up
their face
in that moment of
trust and utter
amazement

No questions asked
no expectations
waiting in the wings
just pure
recognition
of a smile...

One that generates
the same response
when reciprocated
once more...

Where does one go...

It is as though
the path becomes narrower
the vision
that once paved your way
has now become
complaisant
for what comes your way

As yet another stepping stone
leading to higher planes
yet to be known...

It is as though
you've always known
this time would come
and you would play the role

Predestined...
surrendering to its' toll.

When left in doubt...

Not a moment too soon
shall pass me by
while waiting
for your presence
along my side

I have dreamt
of many a times
that you never appeared
not for selfish reasons
though you left me dispirit

Reality tells me
you will always be there
My heart senses doubt...
perhaps not related although
reprieved

Not a moment too soon
will time pass me by
while I wait
for your presence
to be by my side.
