The lull between experience is vast and holds
realizations of life changing magnitude.
The truths that spill forward demand a careful
navigator. The ocean of learning is limitless,
the waterfall of understanding is perilous.

A small vessel navigating the waters
unveiling the mysteries of the sea,
casts its net and finds an answer. It finds
something that explains a speck which
may cascade into broader understanding

Deep, abyssal valleys hide beneath
limitless calm plains of pristine blue.
Any disturbance beneath shifts the calm
into soft waves, or forces of proportion
that change the nature of being.

Many caverns remain dormant forever,
never disturbed by these shifts and are only
visited by the indifference of natures articles.
Many passed over, holding specks of truth,
grant small, precious realizations.

Snowy sunrise
So beautiful and cold

Morning surprise
Your smile never gets old

Foggy daylight
It's hard to see the end

With some foresight
I see our love ascends

Purple Sunset
The shadows dark and deep

A kiss on my forehead
One day I'll never leave

The candle ember flicks – a snap that brings
eyes to close and open;
marking an instant.

A still soul – embraced by chirping sounds
and the steady tick of a clock.
Instruments filling the night air with song.

Stillness turns to motion
and then becomes still again.
As the band of crickets prepare their bows
the clock’s gears turn and twist.
Another chirp and another tick.

The stars twinkle to the unyielding rhythm
and transform the dark into a stage
where time continues, forever unchanging
where all the terrors of the world
can be put aside if only for a moment.

The clock, the crickets, the stars, the night
They all collide into the same song –
The same song that never stays the same.

An epiphany
that feels novel every time
sends shivers of excitement down my spine.

A hope
that is constantly realized
in our everlasting mutuality.

My love for you.
