It beats
Constantly
Keeps life
Alive inside,
This heart,
I'm just trying
To get
Back to
You,
It beats
Alive inside,
I'm just trying
To get back to
You
It beats
Constantly
Alive inside,
I'm just trying,
It beats

Birches still slumber
gentle breezes brush spring leaves
bears begin stretching
strolling quiet dawn marshes
birds chirp their lumbered approach

Simple Life
Is what I live
No need to impress
Taking joy in this
It's freeing
Like birds flying
Butterfly landing
Rain falling
Ocean calling
Sand between toes
Sun's warming
Eyes opening
Each day
Beautiful music
Waves racing
Hot tea and writing
Resting as day
Is ******* to dark
Waking to a new day
To realize
The gift is life itself
Restarting with each new breath.

Dreams float on oceans
The different shades of blue
Of future and past
