Seated at my table,
you’ll find me, myself, and I
All three different versions talk
yet do not bat an eye
You must be invited here
it’s not an open door
And if nothing is brought with you,
your feet may hit the floor
You see, here at my table
are the l ones that I let in
It’s few and far between
but sometimes they may sit
And when you’re at my table there
must be something to present
Or else the clock is ticking
and your time will all be spent
It’s always been myself here,
some have eaten some have stayed
Some have packed their food to go
And left me there unpaid
But if you’d care to join me
At my table you may eat
Be sure you have your wallet
Or you will not have a seat

~~~
I open my eyes with a blurry vision.
The light strikes me with a forceful collision.

I blink. I cringe.
I stretch and breathe
then raise up slowly to my feet.

With a cloudy perspective
and hazy eye-sight,
I encounter my objectives
and march toward the light.

A crescent moon in mellow skies
My heart, she beats for you
Just as the ocean wanes her tide
The moon is fading too
-::-
Before you go I’ve one more task
Once more you must now do
Look to me past oceans vast
And say you’ll miss me too

A crescent moon in mellow skies-
My heart, she beats for you.
Just as the ocean wanes her tide,
The moon is fading too.
-::-
Before you go I’ve one more task;
Once more you now must do.
Look to me past oceans, vast—
And say you’ll miss me too..

Firefly dances liven the night
Painting their artwork with flickering light.
The chatter of crickets beneath the trees
The whistle of leaves that sway in the breeze
The croak of the frog resounds over all
From the damp soil around the grass tall
The songs of the darkness master a tune
And play their instruments by the light of the moon

I saw you in the darkness
In the silent space, you were
Surrounded yet alone as a
Luminescent blur
-:-
A lamp which glowed before me
I was startled, yet in awe.
For the light that you were casting
Glimmered brightly without flaw
-:-
And as I reached my hand to you
I discovered you were far
Although you seem so near to me
You’re only but a star
-:-
I’ll dream of you my northern star
My distant, stellar guide.
For even in the morning sun
You’re brighter than the sky

Like ashes from a burning sea
Her sandy beaches lay
Shored upon the land it coats
From forceful ocean wave

And as the tide draw up at dusk
The beach is coaxed within
Until tomorrow she must hide
Til tide retreats again

oceans blue and waters deep
adventure hides while i seek
vast clean space that doesn't age
new beginnings turn the page
the world is out for me to find
faces and names to which i’m blind
the world, she calls and beckons me
persuading me gently out to sea.

Oceans blue and waters deep;
adventure hides while i seek.
Vast clean space that doesn't age-
Yet, ever changing as a wave.
The world is out for me to find,
full of nature’s undefined.
The world, she calls and beckons me-
persuading me gently out to sea.

Childhood is like a light
It's glow is always on
One should surely let it shine  
Before it's dim and gone
