Born from history
is this day we celebrate
the blessings in our lives
for each breath we take
I ask not for anything
but one gift I will bring
to the feast laid before me
on a day filled with glee
And so I gladly share
with a joyful prayer
at this table I take part,
my very grateful heart

Sending you all wishes of a very joyful Thanksgiving
and wishes of joy and gratitude in each and every day!
Love,

Do you need rest,
solitude for your
heart and mind?
Accept and embrace it
and don’t be shy
to admit a fraction
of you needs only to
hear silence
where the depths of
your thoughts can
grow from their
lingering state
A precious gift
for your own
sake

My universe lingered timelessly in a lonely state
where darkness followed relentlessly with no possible escape
Now you’ve altered my world since the start of that day
when my vision of life transformed in euphoric ways
The beating of my heart changed to an unknown tempo
and the bird’s debut ended with a beautiful crescendo
Your arms were there to catch me when I was about to fall
to save me from a shadow that kept me feeling small
How kind of you to share your love, to think of me as worthy
to look beneath my saddened soul and see my genuine beauty
Where gray was very greedy, you gently placed a star
shedding light upon my sky, erasing all my scars
I will show you equal devotion that you have revealed to me
and together we’ll fly in truth and trust for all eternity

Gasping for air
with my head under water
lungs on the verge
of exploding
I’m in orbit
heading into a world
of other dimensions
where gravity
has no bearing
but stubbornness
can be a positive thing
because I have no plans
for drowning
In fact, I see a tiny speck
of light, touching
the sparkling surface
and I wonder now,
how long its been there
I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
It’s a vital collaboration
between mind and limbs
in order for broken pieces
to be repaired
for me to begin again
and even with tears
trailing down my face
their cool embrace
brings joy
where I once felt pain

(a little fiction; a little not)
He says, “Good morning, Beautiful”
as I rise with the sun
I smile because beauty
isn’t what I possess
first thing in the morn
We see deeper than
laugh lines, though
through all the turned pages
and have come to realize
our love for each other is ageless

Poetic words slide from your lips, so tenderly, as they
Rest in my heart, softened and beating contentedly
Oh, you need not say more, for you’ve already
Mesmerized my soul to its very core and
I shall guard your love eternally, for
Surely, you can see the same
Emotions in my eyes,
Sweetheart…

My eyes are open now
and they see life’s pattern
has changed
I’m sorry I stayed in the sand
forever, it seemed
but the truth is clear as can be
in my lovely blue sky
and I will move on
because I’m ready to fly
(Poem is fiction in the present,
but true from the past)
