WHISPERING ON THE WIND

Reminiscing...
Those days of long ago
Sitting in the meadow
Listening to the memories
Whispers on the wind
Rustling through the grass

Do you recall...
The carefree days of summer
Walking through the meadow
Listening to our laughter
Whispers on the wind
Gently blowing through the grass

Do you remember...
The love in our hearts
Kissing in the meadow
Listening to our heartbeats
Whispers on the wind
Lying together in the grass

Do you recollect...
The passion in our souls
Becomming one in the meadow
Listening to our sighs
Whispers on the wind
Caressed by the grass

Do you treasure...
These memories of us
Our time in the meadow
Listening to our dreams
Whispers on the wind
Echoing through the grass

THE MEADOW

The grass bends to the will of the gentle breeze
The sun warms the land, for there are no trees
Here, years ago, the children would play
Now they've grown and moved away
No more laughter and shouts of glee
Just peacefulness in this vast green sea
Will the meadow remain like this?
Holding memories of childhood bliss
Or will machines come tear up this land?
Where fun and nature once ran hand in hand
Will cement replace the soil of Earth?
Has nature lost its sense of worth?
Do people see not nature as a gift?
To give the human spirit a lift
Please leave the meadow as it lies
A home for bunnies and butterflies

A MELANCHOLY MOMENT

I looked within my heart and found an empty space
Then I looked into the mirror and saw my tired face
Roads getting rough, hills are hard to climb
I close my weary eyelids, a kindred spirit is so hard to find
I want his arms around me, holding me close against his chest
Shoulders strong and solid, for which my head to rest
But deep within him, is a sacred place to hide
Sharing intimacy, love and trust, is hard for him to abide
It broke my heart to know, that he would rather be alone
For part of me is with him, in the sacred place he calls home
The risk he does not wish to take
For fear it would be a huge mistake
Yet, the invitation is offered, impulsive as it may be
For how else can he know, what is inside of me?
I wonder, does he know, he shared part of his soul
Searching, seeking, wanting, himself to be whole
Acceptance, is all that is left for me to do
For only to myself, is it possible to be true

SEA OF GRASS

Waving back and forth with the ever present gusting wind
Shifting colors reflected from the glory of sun lights blend
This be a sea of grass churning like the surf at high tide
Where as a kid in this storm of grass did I play and hide
The sweet sent and memories from my youthful times
Become the reason for my reflecting reminiscing rhymes
Youth relived in my mind as conqueror, crusader or king
Fields of grass both play ground partner and play thing
The greens are not as green as my memory holds them
In truth all colors now seem to have faded and grown dim
Still do I run fast through the grassy fields of my minds eye
For only there will my age let me truly cut lose and fly

BECKONING

Intimate world with seeded tree
beckoning...
seduces me.
Assemble now the fluttering wings
multiplying...
the heart sings.
Taking flight, the spirit soars
grasping...
for more.
Union for the heart's redeemer
denied...
a dreamer.

ON BUTTERFLY WINGS

The leader waits perched up high
Followers approaching from the sky
A pleasure to behold such a sight
In this world covered with white
Wings of colour float on air
Warmth in a world of despair
The snow melts on the perch you see
The ground glows where butterflies be
Gathering here for a reason
They bring about the change of a season
Winter's blanket cast aside
The light of Spring shall not hide
Gliding in on butterfly wings
All the warmth that it brings
Shall give new life to this land
A sight so wondrous and grand
In all its glory, breath it takes
As, from its slumber, nature wakes

SOLDIERS OF HEAVEN

On the wings of hope and prayer they fly in total bliss
These soldiers of heaven who in plain sight we miss
They mark the actions of all who walk this earthly plain
Good marks and to the gates of heaven one might obtain
So to are marked the cruel, crooks and killers in kind
But in a much harder and hotter place their end will find
To hide in plain sight with wings every color under the sun
They sacrifice all but honor, valor and duty, just to be one
From the sky they descend in a line of astral splendor
As we remain unaware the judgement on us they might render
Beauty unsurpassed they seem to have us under their spell
These soldiers who mark whether we will go to heaven or hell
Fly free heavens sentries, butterflies in armor of color and light
And pray they mark well the many things in life we've done right
