If I start to fly will my worries gravitate towards the sun?
Can I just get away to a place that doesn't exist?
Does a cave keep out the bad sounds and rebound it onto my enemies?
Will I work for the dark where no one can see my misdeeds?
Could I be the difference between life and death if I am no where in sight?
How can I see the end coming from the beginning?

If the sky was a swan,
Each whispering cloud
That sat on its breast
Would be the thousands
Of feathered wishes
Of those down below,
The thousands of hearts
Sending pure intentions
And deep-felt longings
Up where they collect
Into ribbons of light,
Representing the best side
Of all of us.

Just a small thought for you today.

my renaissance occurred
far from Florence
city of spires and orange skin domes
it hit me as an awakening
it shook my comfort with things
image is so very powerful
paintings
tiger skins
myth viewed through different eyes
having the time to examine art
and discover a large part of it all
I said it shook me
step through the doorway
to the hallway of change
via palate, brushstroke, desire
Shades of grey cover with whispered wantings,
becomes cool breezes that stirs every winter leaf of
almost barren trees sideways, ever so brief.
A flicker of color against cheeks brushed by lashes
and kissed with freckles of mumbled promises.
Moments stolen but ours to take them
Seasons past of futures glimpsed hanging on hope.
Perchance you hold empty offerings but upon inspection
of closer sighs you hold a vessel of sentiments which
beats with rhythmic precision that is immeasurable in worth.
Parry and ****** in a dance of breaths and winds that move
time beyond possibilities like clouds atop dreams.

Tears cascade upon the Earth like meteorites
as we lie in the flower fields of India far away
I watch the sun rays play a story across your face
we whisper of past transgressions and travesties done to us
and how time moves slower here when we forget it all
we have waited so long to find this dream we pondered if it were real
we had at last found our way outside the worlds oblivious ways
gazing into each other we see our reflection lying in silence  
finally falling to sweet repose as the moonlight draws us within her sweet blanket
no other warmth needed but one another
I cannot wait for spring
For the burgeoning,
Grass, flowers, trees
All each emerging
The secret tender growth of youth
A slow but bold display
Revealing to us beautiful truth
The white sweet lilies of May
I anticipate the morning dew
The crisp, brisk air
That carries on
And heats with sun
To become
June's evening fare
Hello to you whom I've missed
A welcome sight you are
Like a dreamweaver
Amongst the midnight stars...

No one** (has ever told me
that I should have a sense that
my life) belongs (on this earth, right)
here(, so I can continue to be) more than
(I ever imagined I could be.
Except for) you.
