Sleep the thing of legends told
The time for dreams and plans
So rich the colours here
But ware the dream
For like the sirens call
The dream can consume your all
So sleep now deep and full
But wake to life and all it brings
Not for dreamers life in truth
Take joy for here our lives are full

Queen of hearts come here to
bide
Your warmth and love I keep
inside
Take this part I give to
thee
Just a small part of
me
When time has past and eyes do
dim
Feel this part down deep
within
The part I give is joy
untold
Joy I give gets never old...

My love for thee is...

like wings of gold
wears no vale
knows no bounds
like music played
Heart fills and binds
Is sight to see
all surrounds

Without My love for thee
I fly no more
my eyes are blind
I am tied and tethered so
I can make no sound
I am a hollow shell
I have no light
I am full of doubt

Since I have my love for thee
I need never go without....

Sit in silence night so dark
Now left behind my city ears
Now left behind my city eyes

As I sit the country wakes
Sky of dark no longer so
Stars bright shine through nights curtain drawn
Open now my country eyes

Sitting silent in the dark
Beat of wings the Ruru lands
His call now loud not heard before
Hedge hog snuffles and rustles grass
Not far off a cricket sings
Open now my country ears

Left behind the city lights
Too loud  its traffic din
The constant roar of life so fast

So far from here in silent night...

A storm of darkness rides the night
With clash of thunder and flash of light
To ears a rumble to eyes a fright
This storm a show of natures might

From deep within the rain will fall
Some only see a passing squall
But look you closer still
For here is natures mighty will
Come stand and feel the building storm
From winters depth such power born

Fear not for what you see
Spring will come to leaf and tree
The sun shall rise as spring days dawn
The earth now begins to warm
From each seed new life will form

Down the sun's rays relentless beat
All the earth it will heat
Long the days have become
So long they seem to blend to one
Feel the sun it's warming cheer
At last it feels like summers here

Colors change on leaf and tree
To fall to earth and feed its need
Days grow short and nights so clear
We all can see that Autumn's here

Life of summer begins to sleep
But life still beats in earth down deep

Now the year's come full around
As rain falls upon the ground
The storm of winter has returned...

Another year from which to learn.

The sun on shifting sand
It warms this place
Waves they move with rhythmic splash

Before my eyes you walk from surf
Tanned skin of coffee warm
Water drops that glisten so
Each step a dancers grace
My breath now hard to take
You turn my way
Your smile so bright the sun takes note
Such beauty an artists work

This still in memory bright
Feelings from time now past
Reminds me how blessed my life
The day you chose to be my bride

Now we sit together still
I feel your love from then to now
Though time has robbed me of some sight
Memory paints you as once you were
I wonder how you see me too
My hand you touch and time stands still
My bride and life

Together still
Together still

I sit and watch from not too far
and know not who they are.

One man, one woman sit and gaze.
How sweet it is the courting phase

New lovers hearts do skip and swoon
Two hearts so close they beat in tune
My eyes see desire bloom

The touch of hand
and meet of eye
Such lips of red
Each hope to try

They walk on home hand in hand
Knowing what each has planed

Too soon the lovers walk on by
and pass beyond my watchful eye....
