Tapestry

I have spun my

Wishes together combining threads

Of person and place

Into my futures tapestry

To either hang huddle

Or hold against me

But really to share

With another woven therein

ThisIsHim

I have finally decided

That rather than wait

That I would ask

The Universe for someone

Creator of the Universe

Appear before me this

A Spanish pianist composer

In his early forties

Intense shy and passionate

Whose fingers speak music

Whereas mine speak words

And together create songs

Telling of mysteries and

Of adventures taken or

Simply quietly wished upon

At the point of

The candles last flicker

And our first sunrise

JustImagine

To know yourself is

To know God itself

For whatever you imagine

Can be by simply

Seeing it before it’s

Seen by others trust

That what you see

Is real and go

Find it or make

It so for those

SkinnedKnees

We talk about better

Better is a reference

A comparison to something

That is usually unsettling

But what if unsettling

Was the better thing

Things that make us

Pop things that make

Us change are better

Oh we love summer

But fall is when

Life really finally starts

We all enjoy frolicking

We only ever learn

From our skinned knees

DreamDreamAgain

I’ve lived several lives

This life time around

Each one an adventure

Full of awed inspiration

Of amazing beauty and

Hours of quiet contemplation

I chased my dreams

And made them reality

Realizing that the true

Strength in life is

Not just having dreams

But recognizing when you

Capture them giving room

To dream yet again
