Rising sun gently kisses her brows,
she transforms to a rose,
on that  ethereal vision of beauty,
he goes through a metamorphosis.

Wakening with dawn
shimmering in brilliant hues
of crimson and gold


                               Silv'ry woodthrush flutes
                               and drowsy robins murmur
                               promising fresh hope


Opaque blackness fled
Vanished its dark heaviness
dissolving in light

There is a certain luring
guilt in weakening
the strong.

Love is endless, love is patient, love is free, love is blind.
Above all else, love is merciful and kind.
When you are alone, and there's no one to find.
Please remember that you are loved.
The path of your life is still being made, your trail is still being set.
Your hands will be dry as the heat from the sun and often your feet will be wet.
Alone you will work towards a goal not known yet.
In this time remember that you are loved.
And people will trip you just to get ahead, you know of no one you can trust.
Often it feels like your heart and your soul do nothing but gather some dust.
Overwhelmed you'll feel small as a speck in a gust.
Never forget that you are loved.
The hurt will not own you, you're stronger than that, you know this much to be true.
In the end you'll look back at the things you have made and old will again be made new.
You are greater than you can ever believe, if only you could see what you'll do.
One day, you'll know you are loved.
This poem, to me, means more than anything. This is a pep-talk to myself. I need to remind myself every day that someone loves me; that, if no one else, God loves me, so therefore I must love me too. And you, if you're taking the time to read this, need to remember that you are also loved. And special. And so important. Life is a struggle. The path of life has not yet been laid down for you. You will have to make a trail through rocks, deserts, and oceans of disappointment and overwhelming sadness. When it's all over, though, you will look back on your crooked path and see that each footprint, each step, is filled with intense beauty. Do not give up. You can do more than you can possibly imagine. I believe in you.
Though You Grow ****** Hair--You Are No Man,
And Though You Can Stand Tall,
You Are Still Just A Boy,
Your Mind Is A Book With A Lexicon Too Simple,
A Plot Too Predictable--A Resolution Too Unethical,
And I No Longer Want Magic Tree House Books,
I Do Not Want A Picture Book,
If The Pictures Are Not Of Natural Marvels,
I Do Not Want A Bubble Gum Chewing,
Bubble Blowing, "Coodie" Crazy Monstrosity,
And I Do Not Want A Boy If All They Want Is My Body,
Too Many Guys Are Boys But Believe They Are Men,
Girls And Women Too--Believe Me,

My Whole World A Light Pastel Grey,
Grey As The Mighty Wolf's Pelt,
Grey As The Ocean's Water On A Misty Day,
Grey As The Iced Concrete,
My Whole World Is Cold,
Cold As The Common One--Nose Raw And Red,
Cold As A Demon's Heart,
Cold As My Pale Pale Skin,
My World Is Broken--Beautiful China Shattered,
Broken As A Branch After A Storm,
Broken As A Window After Abandonment,
Broken As My Very Heart,
My Whole World ****--**** As Nature,
**** As The Tree's Brittle Fingers,
**** As The Cloud Covered Sky,
**** As My Freckled Face,
My Whole World Waiting Quietly,
Waiting For Spring--To Bloom,
Waiting For Something Spectacular,
Waiting For A Better You
Don't Know Where This Came From:) And Yes I Spell Grey--G. R. E. Y.

Cicadas and katydids are calling
Breezes blow in from my open window
Roses are blooming and leaves are falling
The moon's rays hitting my lawn look like snow
Owls are singing from majestic trees
While sweet Bluebirds are sleeping in bushes
Night dances through the softly blowing breeze
And Midnight silently the world hushes
Dewdrops like jewels shine on roses sweet
And the stars twinkle all through the calm night
While the Fairies dance on enchanted feet
And the moon happily shines very bright
And I under my warm covers doth sleep
Until pretty morning brightly doth peep.
