take me back to the endless shore,
where I can lay my head and
search no more

turning my sail to the wind I’ll
follow the dove, keeping the faith
it’s a journey of love

if the winds give way I’ll man
the oars, I miss those days
on the endless shore

I’m not turning back I’ve come to
far, played hopscotch with shadows
latent with scars

not until I was broken did I find the
door, going to lay my head
and search no more

Inspired

she rides like the wind,
she’s riding for them

stillness whispers to the
coming dawn ...time ...time
to be moving on

sometimes gentle, feeling the
warmth of mornings grace

sometimes forceful, thunder
penetrating the space

such purpose in motion
the miles roll-on

embraced by love, she
sings their song

she rides like the wind,
she’s riding for them

Etched in time

my heart won’t let my mind
forget, that beautiful stillness
when we met

I questioned if it was really
there, it’s still with me after
all these years

always strongest when I’m
calm, seamlessly flowing
through my palms

I breathe it in and carry-on

Still in awe

why could I sense a stillness
beyond fear beyond tears

an awareness of wisdom beyond
thought, a realization that all I would
ever know was already known
only to be realized

maybe it was armour for all the battles
I’ve yet to fight
the fears I would have to face
the truths I would have to mine
the losses I would have to bare
the acceptance I would have to find

maybe the beauty I’ve yet to see
the love I’ve yet to feel
the paths I’ve yet to walk
the life I've yet to live

still in awe of that moment when I was five

Seeker

beyond what is
a path for what could be

the power of why
fear to action

a force of change
an act of faith

distilling your truth
a phoenix in waiting

grab the reins
take flight

Take me there

a hundred miles over valleys and peaks, a single step over a mountain creek... take me there

cream tea and a summer breeze, a little boy becomes a gentle young man... take me there

stillness whispers the grace you’ve always known, can you feel it... take me there

smiles of calmness in the mind, treasures of forever in the heart... take me there

streaking at the speed of light while motionless all the same, sometimes just one hug can make all the difference... take me there

friendships come and friendships go some friendships light the way on moonlit trails to a brighter day... take me there

a lifetime of sunsets shine in your eyes, see my reflection... I know I am there
