Struggle

by

0

Without it I wouldn’t know success

Or the will to succeed

Gratitude is only learned

When life is experienced

And see what you may have lost

Or gained

The beauty of day is only

Appreciated

When the night was

A moment of survival

Its not that we must

Feel all the wrong to

Feel right

But isn’t it lovely

So see the best in life

The flower amongst the weeds

The sun in the clouds

The smile on her face

Even when she is down

The shadows of the day

Don’t complain

For they wouldn’t exist

Without the light

A painting with uneven strokes

With an array of color

Blotches of black

Streaks of white

A masterpiece called life 

 

Wandering Love

by

Wandering in the depths of my mind

The inclination to try to comprehend

The life line that keeps me going

 The reasoning why my existence 

Is a different one 

Than my contemporaries 

A highway of emotions that always 

Leads to one place

In my dreams 

A water side haven  

 Where the movement and sound 

Of the rush of water

Just calm me down

Yet I dance on hollow ground

As if there is no such thing as time

Free as the wind I spin

As a record with that favorite song

Wandering through the spaces 

Of life 

Meeting faces 

For in a moment I give 

A bit of kindness 

So they may carry on 

A piece of me 

to other places

Where love needs to be 

Reach

by

In the quiet of the day

Time stands still

A mist of emotions

Searching for a place 

To land

My thoughts reach for you

The words run through my mind

The kindness of my soul

Doesn’t wish to bother

The minutes of your life

Yet words pierce 

As the sharpest knife 

Through my heart

Reaching and searching 

Thankful for the past moments

That enlightened my resolve

To trust time

Life can tire 

Even the one with the most

Intense fire

For I will reach as close

To feel the heat and yet 

To not burn

Will you reach for me

It’s still your turn… 

 

Horizon

by

Fading lights to the horizon

Glistening glow of the day

Dreams left astray 

Changing seasons

All that you do

Carries on within you

Through the pain 

Of shifting 

Right to left

Anew it will become true

Lessons learned for

A future plan

Hold on to the beauty

Of the light amongst the shadows 

There is more to see

If you still breathe 

There is a yet to fulfill dream

To believe 

See the retractions and reflections

Only a shift in the path

Only brief change in the directions

So please believe

You can dance 

Left to right 

There is greater joy in the 

Dance of life 

Till the music fades 

That last beat 

Of the heart

Hidden

by

Flourishing through life 

At the speed of light 

You can’t hide someone 

that has struggled in the dark 

To reach the light

Moonlight or sunlight 

Meant to be seen and to exist

Not for herself 

Only for what she has to give

Not to be used to gain anything

You may want in your own life

For the truth holds her together 

Purity of her words 

And what her eyes have held

This is me

I’ve swam in my own tears

To reach the shore and to believe 

In my own worth

There is no pretend for me

To gain another’s love 

Hidden is not meant for me

Not when carrying 

So much love

It drowns me in it’s words

In it’s emotions 

In it’s acts

Don’t be fooled 

That you may have a hold of me

To be there when you feel

No one else can

I’m meant to have 

In my entirety, not parts 

You feel you need 

Hidden is not for the light 

Or words of the night

If there is something too

Overwhelming about me

You are right 

For I recognize the enormity

For my life is extraordinary 

For I was born in war

And search for peace

Only wishes to love

Accepting everything you are

The good, the bad, the ugly

With no games, no lies

Can’t hide someone

Who was prayed for

Beneath the African skies… 



North

(March 22nd, 2015, 2:40AM, Klaustur, Iceland – Northern Lights observed)
Laying here on an unknown dirt road
Fingers cold
A blanket between me 
And residue of Lava flow
Stare up at the expanse above me
Every star in a trance
For tonight there is a show
So the lights from the north
Start to dance
Filling the entire sky
No reason to ask why
This night
To observe this sight
A gift of the
Northern Lights
For my eyes alone
A song plays in my mind
For every transitions of the light
“Lets just die here,” I say
How can there be more
But there is
I feel it in every inch of my soul
When Earth itself has given you
Its beauty
Every particle a word of love
All you can feel is thankful
For this makes sense
Captured with my eyes
Filled deep in my heart
Awe and wonder
These lights from the north
Have given me
Strength to set forth…
 

Vitality

The lotus flower is known for it’s beauty, yet it is able to thrive in the most murky of shallow waters. That is anyone of us, don’t let the darkness and the murky waters of this world, take away our vitality. Find the joy and beauty already within. And with this gift, shine and share your beauty of light…



To the Ocean and Beyond 

by

0

Hear my voice 

Screaming through

The dense fog of this life

Blowing away the strife

With my breathe 

Hold my hand 

I will take you 

Where the sun shines

And ignites your soul

To the ocean and beyond

Please hold on 

I’ll embrace you 

Only with love 

Tear away the unkind

Hold of this system

Not an easy thing to do

Alone it’s true

Together as we fly

From here to there

No more despair 

For what is love 

Without one to give

And to receive

This love

What is joy 

Without one to share

Take my hand

For I don’t wish to know

How it can be without 

Your soul

We aren’t running away

Intensely we’re finding the way

So embrace

Surround me

As we go 

And so I finally whisper

Sweet nothings  

From here to there 

To the ocean and beyond 

The wind blowing through our hair…



Burning Embers (2015 Version)

by

0

Embers can stain the flesh

Bursting sparks

Into the night sky

Bonfire just as warm 

closer it burns

Leaving charred remains 

Burning embers of faded heat

Hollowed heart

Smoke rising reaching searching

Coldness as the fire is

Distinguished

Yet you feel the burn on your skin

Not wanting more 

Yet the ashes linger

Eyes stinging from the haze

Of the past

Looking up 

As it rains

Kissed by the raindrops 

Eyes closed looking within

Hollowed heart filled

Washed away 

What remains

Is the burning embers

Of that smile 

As it returns from exile

A Love Song for the Lady

Dreams of Paradise

Different than your contemporaries,
Lady, your walk is like no other. With purpose, carefully you take each
step. Every step a mark on your life history, engraved in the lines of
your footprints.

Entering a room, everyone takes a look, for you were never here, some how you belong even for just awhile. As you greet them with your all knowing smile. Oh, that smile, you smile with your whole being.

The gleam of the sparkle in those eyes from the secrets you know of life, waiting to share. The window into the joy held inside.

Lady, we shall always call you, for no other name can explain. As you dance alone or with a lead, the song seems to be centuries old, a dance you know so well. The music written in notes of your heart beat.

Lady who dares to love you and hold your hand through this…
