Teddy bear
On the chair
Dearest friend
I put you there
Brown fur
Button eyes
Sewn on smile
How time flies
Black nose
Fuzzy ears
Closest companion
Through all these years
Teddy bear
On the chair
It's time to say goodbye
There will be sadness
But not for long
For unlike youth, good memories never die

Dancing in the shadows
Twisting past the light
Flowing through the darkness
Stepping in the night
Always feeling, never seeing
Always black, never white
Always dancing in the shadows
Because of what is shown where it's bright

Colors blend
Two or more
Melding into one
Warm colors
Reds, oranges, and yellows
Cool colors
Blues, violets, and greens

Colors bleed
Running down the canvas
In tiny vibrant streams

Colors streak
Tiny bright lines
On a dark backdrop

Colors clash
Repulsive to the eye
They are pulled apart
Painted over
Never to be seen again

Colors fade
First to yellow
Then to nothing
Leaving the canvas empty
As it was before

Breathing slow.
Ebb and flow
Watch the tide
Come and go

Breathe a sigh
Seagull cry
Soaring above
Watch it fly

Breathing in
Sun on skin
Flying kite
Watch it spin

Breathe in deep
Watch clouds creep
Across the sky
Fall asleep

Hello moon
Yellow moon
Hanging in the sky
Goodbye moon
Gone so soon
I wish you'd tell me why

Hello Moon
Yellow Moon
Please don't go away
Your pale gold light
Makes my night
Seem a little more like day

Snow falls softly
A flake lands on my cheek
I smile and think of you

Summer days
Sleepy daze
Warm breeze
Golden haze
Summer nights
Dancing lights
Campfires glow
Sparks ignite
Summer fades
Memories made
Feel it cool
Wish it could stay
Colors change
It's not so strange
Summer's gone
Life moves on

Can you dance in the rain?
Find color in the grey?
Find warmth in the cold?
Keep the dampness at bay?

Can you look at the clouds
And wait for the blue?
Summer is coming my friend
The sun will come too
