from an eighteen year absence as I stood staring into the silver surface
awaiting the appearance as she would once again  part the mirrors glaze
sudden thrill of foreboding anxiety passes across me as ribbon of silk lace
or that momentary nostril flair when a sudden snare of rarified air plays
havoc on the ancient receptors nearly forgotten as aromatic sprites pass
along those corridors memories reside and sometimes hide behind doors of this maze
awash in the dusty overlay of that which still seeking to delay realities consistently amass
when a graphic form of de ja vu breaks thru passing and suddenly does appear
as calm still silver slightly shivers then parts to deliver the hand and then humanistic form
to reach for the rounded edge of porcelain solidity gasping in  oxidized atmosphere
i watch decades lost disappear as if only yesterday i stood here and again this the norm
in wordless anomalous aplomb i watch her face apperceive my image as i etch the scene
so intent upon my scrivener scrawl in my rush to capture all onto my minds private wall
that only in the faintest of my subconscious can i recall the echo call my name as she covered all distance between
attaching herself in ways far beyond the physical bond and thru time uncertain beyond the curtain we fall
tumbling into that void where nothing exists outside that infinitesimal moment of infinity
with the eventual return to the constraints passing back thru the curtain and time certain reapplied
once again the prisoner of the laws of time space and the reality of gravity
plans made to meet later to catch up with those details with smile i say thank you for that ride
her eyes twinkle and i know with absolute certainty she understood exactly what i meant
that is why she said i still do this everyday as i am addicted to that moment when Einsteins laws don't exist
then with laughter she denied me an answer to the question on my face later she said and up she went
so i paused at the door to watch her grace from a hundred feet high she bounced and leaped into the air then i saw  what i had just missed

for there she was not going up and not coming down  suspending all physical laws and she was unbound  weightless and free and addicted

and right then i had to admit to myself ....i was a bit jealous but nowhere  near as brave as i watched her reenter that mirror.

Hello weary travelers .
Welcome
to my living room
for in words
I have found life ...and purpose
in thought provoking
and sometimes
ego stroking words
that can if we're lucky
can ...
paint a thousand pictures
to hang proudly
displayed
along the walls
of any open mind.
Stay
as long as you like
come and go ...as you please
.  The door has no lock
and there is always
fresh sweet tea for all
in the ice box .
My hope ...
is that my LIVING room
is where some will find
living ROOM inside themselves.
So please ...wipe your feet
Wipe your feet
before
you go outside.   thanx.

Hello love how are you?
Me... I'm doing just fine
Now that I know you

I never saw you coming
I thought all my plans...
... Had been set
Me- on my own forever
Never knowing....
.....how lucky I could get
And so...
From my blind side
You suddenly appeared
Behind me
To walk beside me
Into the future I had always feared
Would be a lonely Journey
A trip I would take all alone
No one to help me marvel
At the sites along the road

I've never known where
The road would take me
Just moving on seemed enough
Not much difference
Between the smooth parts
Not much difference
From the rough

The dim light
I never even noticed
The loneliness didn't even exist
Not having had - it wasn't missed
And then you ....
.... my angel
Stood there beside me
Willing to stay - you brighten my world
Helping to guide me

Now if I'm spoiled
You spoiled me
If I can see
Then you are my light
And if I left my old familiar road
With... your loving guidance
Then I can't go back
But it'll be alright..... it'll be alright
For if I hear sweet music
It's from my heart it comes
And if I believe in something now
It's you where all hope comes from.

As the sun
Begins to set
I know my day
Is not over yet
So much to see
So much to do
So much to share
Now that I've found you

The time that's gone
Beyond the bridge
Does not effect the colors
Now forming upon the ridge

As abstract as what
We now have
Should I have tried....
......To see
Yesterday
Any vision
Any future
Any thought
That I would have
Someone....
With whome
To share
The setting of the sun

Now I realize I was
All mixed up
And am just now realizing
I am not viewing the setting sun
I'm in total awe....To realize
We're sharing a brand new sun
RISING
And glory
To the making....
.....of a brand new day

They live beyond horizons
Not yet achieved
And in flashes of color
Too brilliant to be believed
In flicking flames of campfires
Dancing in the silver moonlight
And the next page of books
That sets imagination to flight
Among the woodland sounds
Where  birds chirp with abandon
Brooks babble along with carefree joy
And flowers grow completely random
In those patterns that nature designs
In those soft notes practiced fingers strum
Along the curves of an acoustic guitar or the body of a lover
Those are the places where dreams come from

Picking and choosing
My way as I'm cruising
Down the highway
To my future
And I know by now
That there's something out there
Don't know how
But I'll  find it somewhere
Cuz I know in my heart
That its waiting..waiting
Waiting for me
Waiting for me ....waiting for me
Just like--- I've been waiting
For whatever it is....whatever it is
And whatever it will.. end up....being

I'll know it for its power
That it has on me
When I get close
Like metal to a magnet
I'll be drawn in ....pulled tight
Held so close .....held so close
Like a hug from a long lost friend
When you never ever thought that you'd see em again...see em again...again

It's like I've always known
Where I'm going - but never had a clue
That at the end of my journey
The end of my journey....end of my journey
Would be the start of the road
Start of the road that leads to you
Leads to you - leads to you

So take my hand..take my hand... take my hand
And pull me up from out of this sand
Where I buried more than just my head
WHEN I LOST....
When I lost my all my confidence
And failed at building a fence
That was high enough
High Enough...high high ...high enough
To keep out all of my doubts
I could still...I could still
I could still hear the shouts
Hear the shouts... Hear the shouts
Telling me I would be...I would be
Standing in the same place
When I crumble into dust
Crumble into dust - blown into oblivion
Without a trace of ever finding
Of ever finding a love.. that I could trust

But I looked into my future
Looked into my future and I saw you
Didn't know....
..... Who you were or where you'd be
But I knew somehow - knew somehow
Knew somehow that I was looking for you
And you were looking for me
And you were looking for me

Only by tying us together - tying us together
It's the only way .....only way...
..... Way .. Way.. Way
We would ever be free
We would ever be free ...ever be
EVER.....EVER EVER EVER
THAT WE.......would ever be free

What would I do
Why I would help you
Fold up the corners of the flat earth
If that's what it took to please you
Gather stars to light your room
Flip the moon around for you to view
A side you've never seen as yet
And hold your hand as we walk along
Into a new reality where time will let
The hands stand idle inside our dome
For a while at least I hope it can be so
As we travel the world in our little home
Wrapped in the warm embrace of a happiness I thought I'd never know.
I'd help you
In everyway I can.
