ULTIMATE GIFT

She shares life's truths
with wisdom's grace.
She captures your soul
with one look at your face.

Her intuitive nature
and empathic heart
nurture the feelings
that began at your start.

With tender embraces,
laughter and tears,
she reveals her emotions
down through the years.

She holds in her heart
life's most precious prize...
unconditional love
that has no disguise.

SPIRIT OF THE DAWN

Lady of the wind and sky
spirit of the dawn
watching over sea and earth
and everything it spawns.

All knowing is her vision
her wisdom unsurpassed.
granting help and guidance
to all who faithfully ask.

A WIZARD'S TALE

I speak to you from a time so long ago
of wizards to the monarchs who ruled the soul
where streets were paved with gemstones and lined in gold
where the women and slaves were bartered and sold
and if you look close you can see such a price
that was stamped upon my head one sullen night
I was placed on a block to buyers delight
and sold to the mother of a sanctioned knight
I was taken to a farm and forced to work
in the fields where the animals grazed and stirred
each day a piece of bread was my only perk
escape my only hope as I lost self worth
with only one quick glance you could never tell
that I was a wizard who'd cast wicked spells
I cast one spell on the mother and she fell
and got the knight too just before he could yell
looking at my options I saw they were few
took one horse with rations and bid my adieus
now the king and the queen and the jester too
want my head severed before the moon turns blue.

MY DREAM

When you come to me, in the night
All my pain and sorrow takes flight
You welcome me with open arms
I trust your love and your charms
As you lighten my heart and clear my mind
Why are you so sweet and so kind ?
I want to slip into your heart and your soul
But afraid, I'll be the one to pay the toll
With all your wisdom I must soon see
Just where, in this life I should be
I want to live, love and be happy again
Only with you, may I win.

UNTITLED

Some see me as a wise man
With all the answers in my hands
Others see me as a spiritual God
Waiting for me to lift my staff and rod
Still others see me as someone of perfection
Wanting me to solve their life's confusion
Yet others choose to see me as beauty
Thinking some of this grace will make them happy
You may think of me as wise
If that's how I look through your eyes
You may see me as a God
If you can picture a false staff and rod
You may see me as pure perfection
If you can blind yourself from my own confusion
You may think of me as a sign of beauty
If you fool yourself into that way of thinking
But to the one who sees
When they look at me
The rose that I shield with my two hands
He is the one that truly understands
For this rose, this fragile thing
It is what gives me this glowing ring
That makes you all believe
That I am any of these things
I hold no power over any of you
I just let you see me as you want to

A MAN LIKE HIM

He sits in silence and meditates
Accepting the role that is his fate
Wearing the ceremonial robe of green
Eyes closed, inner senses keen
He leaves his surroundings on the ground
All is silent, there is no sound
He reaches out to the spiritual realm
Sensations all but overwhelm
As the knowledge that he seeks
Enters thought, though no one speaks
A radiant light around him glows
As the power through him flows
Such a blending can be done
But only by the chosen one
Energy from him will be drained
Well worth the knowledge gained
For he shall lead his people true
As only a man like him can do

FIRST VISION QUEST

As the fire danced at his finger tips
Praise to the great spirit sprang from his lips
As shaman he offered his spirit the four winds
His first vision quest they may be his only friends
Silence and shadows surrounds all thought
And into the nothingness his awareness is shot
The darkness is broken only by a pin point of light
That nears and takes form and then glow so bright
The glow engulfs his and he merges with it like one
As his spirit guide eagle joins with him, it has begun
As if on the wings of a great eagle he now soars
Protector over the land and people who he adores
Should he survive his journey on the spiritual plain
A chief and true Shaman of the tribe will he claim
Radiance and enlightenment be his if the great spirit so wills
To guide the tribe from trouble or famine or all other ills
