Leaving me empty
then searching to reach my bright
star in heavens dark
brightness in my soul fading
reaching out to hold her now
but alas she's out of reach

Waking as the sun starts, it's early morning rise
with shadows of darkness lingering
from clouds on high.

I see the morning light as it transitions today,
my thoughts are of you
which brings only light to my life.

Shadows and darkness no longer part of my life.
Holding you close,
Only sunshine in my days.

Cindy

My days of life are very simple with nothing too complicated to ruin my days. Traveling to destinations around the world. Just enjoying life with all the pleasures, there are to have. Reading great words and attempting my own. With my camera to document my beautiful world.

Yet as I go about my  life with joy, happiness and good health, my friend is sick, cancer came back. Raising its ugly head, after a long battle with remission for a time. Life getting back to normal, after words that she's cured.

Now life stops once again in a surreal world. Focus of a laser is her mind as she strikes back to win the battle again, once and for all. God by her side with family and friends standing together, holding hands, with a prayer to God to lend a little extra helping hand.

Maybe we all can add a little prayer for Cindy and all that fight this battle to win.

Prayers and good wishes to you my dear friend Cindy.

Stand at waters edge
ice floating across the lake
as cubes in water
with eagles perched all around
watching with an eagle's eye
Outside of Juneau, Alaska to the north. I was there many times with the trees filled with  bald eagles.

Sitting with my thoughts this night.
Not sure of my future
which seems to not exist.

Taking my time now to check the edge.
Shiny and smooth with the sharpness
of a surgeon's scalpel.

Leaving nothing to chance tonight,
I've locked all the doors and windows tight.
Disconnected the phone, even stopped the mail.

They say a hot bath will do the trick,
feeling no pain as the blade comes down.
Skillfully across my wrist, from the outside in.

Slowly now, but deep enough
I failed before, but not this time
Success is mine, I wait no more, the time is now.

Feeling better now, very relaxed,
drifting into a very dark sleep,
as I say goodnight, but really goodbye.
" Delusional state " I am fine, statement only

I believe Hal thinks
that he is in charge beyond
conscious universe
What do you mean when you say
you turned off the oxygen
I am calling Goofy Monday. Enjoy

soaring like a bird
my single mind eye centered
searching to find peace
floating on the winds of change
now finding my peace within
