My heart hurts a bitter song
It craves what it cannot have
It misses more than words can say

My heart craves a bitter song

It needs its home so far away
It wants to go home

My heart craves a bitter song

Where it feels whole
And a  part of something greater

My heart hurts a bitter song

In a far off distance stands a man
He is alone
He is dressed in all white linen garb
On a desert plane surrounded by sand and sun
The brightness is almost blinding

In the sky burns a deep yellow sun against a
brilliant blue sky,  no clouds can be seen

On his face is a big smile
Surrounding him is a circle of white light
It appeared out of nowhere
As he moves forward
the light follows him step by step
to his next destiny

A summer wind whips through the air and the trees
Lightning dabbles the sky like a quick paint brush
Creating a Monet like painting
Tree limbs bend as the wind moves through them

The sky lightens up from the electric charge moving through
The air fills with the sound of thunder
Tapping its drums and cymbals
The sky turns a greenish color
Trouble is coming

A summer storm is fast approaching
Playing the wind chimes outside like a musical instrument
As they clang back and forth to the rhythm of the wind

Announcing the arrival of the storm
Heavy rain starts offering a soothing drink to the earth

Summer wind

When I feel lost I will rise up
I will reach out towards the stars
To find my way back

When I can’t find my way
I will rise up and see the light
I will follow it back to my path

When I have no words
I will rise up and let you inspire me
I will let you guide me

When I am full of despair
I will rise up towards the sky
Letting it carry me on to my destiny

When I am full of darkness
I will up towards the sun
Letting it fill me with light

As the sun goes down for the night, clear your mind
As the sun goes down and the heat calms down, look up towards the moon
Notice its white glimmer
Feast upon the beauty of it

As the sun goes down and the world slows down, slow your heart
Think about the good things you have
Think about how precious life it

As you get ready to rest for the night, let your body relax and carry you off to sleep
And as you wake for the next day, smile for a chance at a new start
Treasure each moment and every second as they are a gift

A dim light shines across the waters a far distance away
Shining in the dark and gray mist
The light reflects off the waves of the water
Creating a path through the waves

In the distance is a ship which has been gone for a long time
The ship lost its way years ago and has been searching for home
Going port to port
Never finding home
Constantly searching

On this particular night, as the ship gets closer to land a light can be seen
The ship turns and aims for it
Moving quickly through the water
It’s a lighthouse
Its a welcome sight
As the ship gets closer, the light becomes brighter illuminating the land by it
Somehow the land looks familiar now after so long
The ship picks up speed anxious to reach land
The ship is coming home

Hot Burning Days

Green palm trees trying to keep their green
Bright blue skies without a hint of white clouds
Steaming sidewalks
Hot to the touch
Searing sun
The signs of summer

Warm sultry breezes at night
Blow across my face
Gently seducing me
With their hypnotic tickles
Black velvet skies
Decorated with sparkling diamond stars
The signs of summer

Flowers and flowering plants craving water
Reaching towards the light
Wind chimes churning in the breeze
Animals searching for a slice of shade
The signs of summer

Women dressed in light flowing dresses
Bright colors and patterns
Making them look like butterflies when they move
The signs of summer

Men wearing straw hats
Sunglasses
Light shirts
Linen pants with sandals
The signs of summer

Cool breezes arriving late into the night
Offering a soothing reprieve
The signs of summer
