I always liked storms
so I chased after you, and
danced under your rain
Dare the day
to raise the light
To dedicate
itself to the Sun's respite

To crush
the shadows
kidnapped
by night

To free the wounds
of fright or plìght

The sunny ray's raucous
crackling whips
Soon the darkness
will be flipped

To hear
the moans of
grinding time
The wheels spin on
as the engines whine

So does the day
dare the night ?
Yes it does
to the Sun's delight
Let me come closer, please,
Let me touch your cold cheek,
Every scar, every pain that it keeps,
Every wound that won't cease,
And the ache deep within you that speaks.

I long to be nearer, closer still,
Everyone chooses, whether sweet or ill,
Each to their own, what they find true,
But all I desire—is you.

I long to be closer, forever near,
My lost, wandering soul,
to you, my dear.

The vines were jeweled by the raindrops,
In a blooming green field; danced the crops.
I was gazing at the sorcering sight,
The rain teeming the green with its might.
It’s not what
you’re called
But what
you answer to

Your true
voice inside
As questions
renew

It’s not what
you say
But what
you mean

Spoken in
whispers
The truth
— never screams

Sara
there's a world inside your mind
and it wants you to find
a place for others,
without changing
the bookshelves
the music
or the way that you walk through the door.
It might be the means of replacing
the fear which stops you from living
and giving
and laughing
as yourself.
don't be afraid to open up

Is it the Message ..
Or the Messenger ….

Is the the Interpretation
Or just Plain Translation …

Is the Origin
Or the Time

Is it the Numbers who follow
Or the Meaning
Someone
Said,
No one
Baths in
The same
River twice,
Because
When you
Come back,
New water
Will be
Flowing,
But it’s
More
Complicated
Than that
When it
Comes to
Those you
Love,
People are more
Like the soil
Underneath,
That erodes
Over time,
With so much
Life to give,
And so
Much growth.
