Wandering With Words
"We beseech the sands of time to hesitate, for dawn to not awaken just this once, our unanswered plea falls silent, the hourglass relentlessly unremitting."​(Moon Dance Over Water)

The Tree
​
We met by the tree in the morning
with rising sun brushing strokes over the bay
seeing ocean's turquoise and diamonds reuniting
tasting salt air while watching pelicans at play
​
Your eyes met mine with a smile
with pressed lips breathing daylight anew
the beat of redemption with one love in my heart
blessed by three words never spoken so true

It’s Me and You
​
Passionate love borne letters
each syllable swaying for you
A lullaby we’ve written together
From the ash, our fire, penned anew
Simple words, simple sounds, I know
all collecting, coalescing in view
Their rhythm like the voice of saved souls
speaks the truth, that for me, it’s you
A destiny, first whispered, a lifetime ago
imploring us, to let love flow through
A lifetime hereafter, and you’re still on my lips
I’m more than thankful, it’s me and you

A Parent's Love
​
A parent’s love
is never lost
it is forever felt
and never faded
its timeless bond
unbroken by loss
though forever missing
is never abated
so while loving words
are no longer spoken
love’s voice will carry
in heart and mind
like the new moon
still there, but unseen
its remaining beauty
still there to find
so hold fast
to the light of their love
for though dimmed
it shall never depart
and when the missing
draws difficult reflection
feel their gift of love
forever present in your heart
