Timeless river flows
The expanse of space unfolds
Starlight remembers

A tempest twisted
Her magical state
Such simple thoughts
Arranged by fate

Strong yet true
So hard to use
The blues she sang
Were tough but true

The time she took
To spin her tale
Was lost for words
Inside my mind

The terminal point
Of her passing endeavor
Revealed a measure
Of another whenever

Her moment in time
Was drifting by
It opened my mind
As I watched her cry

I held her head
Against my breast
And listened closely
To all the rest

She whispered quietly
In my patient ear
And spoke those words
I found so dear

We found a place
Inside the now
To settle down
And laugh and cry

We made a pact
Right then and there
To be free of worry
And always care

Walking through today
No thoughts about tomorrow
Dreams absorb the rain

So tattered and torn
My memories of you have
Slipped into darkness

A stream deep and wide
Glides across the country side:
Reflected in sky.

I’m sitting here
While you are sleeping...

Thinking…

How sweet it is
To watch you dreaming.

Compelled to just try
The heart forges a reason
Buried deep within

the river of time
slowly flowing deep and wide
can’t rewind the Spring

Good morning
--------------^--------------
You’re just the way to start my day
I’m typing these words across your page
The treasure you bring I salt away
The measure of your meaning is easy to gauge

We’re waltzing along to the image you made
It’s a delicate dance, that much is true
If you were the muse in the game that we played
You left me entranced over the land that we flew

Good afternoon
--------------^--------------
It’s been a busy day but I won’t dwell
We shouldn’t get lost in this moment of time
I’m happy you made it through the door so well
There’s still enough left to finish this rhyme

Into the battle with our spirits so high
We dance in the shadows of the noon day sun
Our hearts beats a passage that soars to the sky
It’s a little bit selfish but a lot more fun

Good evening
--------------^--------------
Welcome to this curious test of my measure
Glad you could stop by and take it all in
Feel free to browse and carouse at your leisure
You won’t know the ending until you begin

Parsing the lines into solid shapes
The trance of this moment is all that we find
It opens our thoughts up and pulls back the drapes
We’re left with a memory that’s caught in our mind

Good Night
--------------^--------------
Seldom my thoughts spin off of the page
It’s better to test them in the mirror of time
It doesn’t really help to go off in a rage
There’s much more to matter and more hills to climb

My mind slips off to a time in the past
The memory is cold and dark and deep
It’s just for a moment but the moment might last
I’ll take it to bed and there drop off to sleep

Living each moment
As it churns o’er the seashore
Memories drift by

I recall the day
When your love swept me away
Very far away

Locked in time
This clock ticks along
In silence*

Good morning my dove
Such a sweet deep song you sing
A lovely vision.

Lazy summer days
Our time drifts slowly away:
Meadowlarks don’t care

There in her closet
She sat looking at her shoes
All five hundred pairs
