to forget me nots,
spring yields nature's golden oath
- the promise of growth

The passion has almost gone
of love and longing for Thee;
there's no meat left on the bone
for devotion's heart to see.

Instead of looking within
the mind is focused outside
with the body getting thin
life's mercy is to confide.

One just can't ignore the signs
that can be seen by the eyes;
age seems to be drawing lines
and there's no comfort in lies.

Like a dog eating a bone
it soon gets to the marrow
and for this it eats alone
with its eyes being narrow.

We become what we're to be
over a lifetime of years prone
to the ups and downs we see
and fruits of our efforts grown.

It's by grace we can transcend
what it is we have not seen
so the hours we've got to spend
will determine places been.

If we stick fast to the path
and don't deviate too far
we won't incur any wrath
and even shine like a star.

Life's course involves such a plan
that we may glean in the mind
looking deep enough to scan
at its source of light we'll find.

Enchanted forest swallows me up
with her majestic beauty, softness
flowing over misty-covered bushes
trees in mystery.

Connected to her I float above
the ground with a cool breeze leading
my way to the ocean.

I walk among the shells and agates
so beautiful, toes dug in the wetness
of sand of forever ecstasy.

Living free is this, like a song
melting through the heart bringing
us awareness and newness.

Dusty dawn with hues of color
drawing me closer with delightful
magnificent attractions of
ultimate beauty.

Adrift in the wilderness of perfection
life of wonderment showering down
her glorified loveliness full of love
light and harmony manifesting my
own reality.

Shining so bright and falling in love tonight.
