The Journey Called Life

As I walk through this journey called life
Let me walk with 
Open hands…so I do not grasp the things I must let go of
Open ears…to hear God’s voice
Open eyes…to see where He’s leading
An open mind… to explore new things and new adventures
And an open heart… to be willing to accept all that God has in store for me

Waking

In those special moments where dreams meet reality and new dreams begin

My soul stirs, my mind begins to wake still foggy with the night’s abstract illusions

I hear you breathing that slow, steady sleep breathing

I reach out and touch your hand

I feel you stir

The desire to be close to you overwhelms me

As I slide across the bed toward you…you innately sense my longing for you and 
your body begins to be aroused

The passion within me ignites

I want to be as close as two people can possibly be

I long to give myself to you

Softly I touch you, your body responds

Freely I give myself over to you…opening to you…welcoming you…holding 
nothing back

We are entangled, interwoven, meshed together as we consummate our love

Birds sing, the sun rises on a new day, animals play

The world is a symphony and we are its conductor

Directing the grandest, most sensuous love song ever written

The instruments play to our every move

Choruses raise their voices in one glorious crescendo as we explode in each 
others embrace

Softly we cradle each other, basking in the afterglow of our love

Quietly we whisper

A new dream begins

Summer's In the Air

As I walked this morning, so many sounds surrounded me
Summer's in the air
The birds sing love songs looking for their mate
Squirrels forage in search of those hidden treasures they buried last fall
A soft breeze is blowing through the budding trees announcing the arrival of a new day

Your voice, the most precious sound of all, fills me with warmth
It stirs passion, desire and longing
I feel peace and calmness
It’s intoxicating.  My head reels, my heart sings.  I walk as if floating on air
I’m as giddy as a schoolgirl with her first love

Summer's in the air, not only in the world around me, but also in my heart

Daisies Bloom Again

I have no sense of dread
The veil has lifted
Sorrow is gone
My heart teems with life anew
The sun has returned
And daisies bloom again

Thoughts

What is he really like?

Is he really that sweet, kind, gentle

Are his kisses as good as I imagine them to be

Can his arms really be as strong, yet gentle as I think they are

Will making love with him transport me to places I have only dreamed of

I’m not even with him and he makes me feel so special, desired, needed, wanted…what will
it be like when we are together

Will he change my life forever

Will he be the Robert to my Francesca

Broken Heart

Broken heart
Cracked and bleeding
That is how I feel today

Leaving now is
hard to handle
After seeing
your sweet face

Trying not to 
feel the gnawing
Buried deep inside
my chest

Can't forget the
two sweet kisses
As you touched
your lips to mine

When you wrapped
your arms around me
Time stood still
and hearts entwined

Amazing eyes 
so warm and gentle
Soft and filled
with love were they

Lost and Lonely
draw me closer
Two old friends
that time forgot

Broken heart
cracked and bleeding
Time will but a bandage be

Round the bandage seeps
my life’s blood
Draining as I onward go

Broken heart
cracked and bleeding
Guard it with my life and soul

Alone

Why do I feel so alone

Here I sit in a crowded room...yet feel totally alone

No one seems to look at me

Or if they do their eyes quickly dart away as if they can't bear to look too long

Why?

Am I really that distasteful

Do they have their own agenda that can't possibly include one more person

I guess I am really just as bad as they are

I don't make much eye contact myself

I find it nearly impossible to reach out

Why?

Can it really hurt

I feel as though if I fell over in the middle of this crowd, my body would go totally
unnoticed

Maybe they would just step right over me and go on as if nothing ever happened

I really am unapproachable

I give off the air

Why?

I thought I was over the whole fear of being hurt, but maybe not

Maybe I'm just trying to convince myself that I'm not afraid

I need friends, I want them, but I shut them out

I'm alone, so alone

I feel like someone's watching me

He's walking this way

He smiled and said, Hello

I'm no longer alone

You

You are pure joy to me
You don’t expect anything from me
You don’t demand
You never manipulate
Your love is unconditional
You make me laugh
You make me feel warm and safe, like I’m wrapped in a huge fuzzy blanket
Your words are kind, gentle, encouraging, filled with love
You want to explore me with all your senses
You have changed my life forever...brought light into my darkness
You make me giddy
You change chaos into peace and calm
You make me feel special, desired, wanted, beautiful
You have captured my heart…touched something deep inside where no one has been before
You make me long for you…desiring to please you, fulfill you, give myself to you, wholly,
never wanting the times with you to end

Night

Tempest black
Moon beam white
Star light, star bright
What wish tonight?

The River

The river flows at my feet
I watch as it goes past
Where is all that water going?
It looks so inviting…
The current flows steadily
I feel as though if I jumped in I could float
Should I jump or stay on shore?
The shore is safe and dry
I decide to go to the edge and get a closer look

I poke my toe in
The water feels so….clean and fresh
I’m afraid, after all I can’t swim
But something is compelling me
I wade in…there’s rocks on the bottom
Some are sharp and jagged
They hurt, but I keep going
I’m up to my knees

I look up just in time to see some friends floating by
“Just jump!” they yell
“Come on….jump!”

Jump!? Me?  I’m AFRAID
I can’t swim….I don’t know where I’ll end up…maybe I’ll drown
There go more friends.”
“Come on….JUMP!”
“Don’t be afraid”

OK
1….2….3
I jump
The current grabs me
I’m washed away….going so fast everything is in a whirl
I feel dizzy
My head is spinning, but I’m staying a float
I can barely breathe 
This is the most exciting journey I have ever been on 
I’m scared, but I feel peace….I don’t understand it

Things look so differently in the river than they do on shore
Colors seem more vibrant
The air is cleaner
The son shines more brightly here
Some parts of the river are treacherous cause the current runs so swiftly
But I’m not alone
Others are floating with me
Just when I think I’m going under….
I feel a hand pull me up so I can take a deep breath
I hear a still small voice
It speaks peace to me
“Never alone”

I’ve been in the river for a while now
Some days flow so smoothly, quietly, serenely

BUT WATCH OUT
There are branches that stick out from shore
They’ll grab you as you float by
They want to entangle you
They are trying to pull you back to shore
They seem so tempting
After all, the shore is dry and safe
So tempting….so tempting….so tempting

GOD PLEASE 
PLEASE HELP ME
Get me off these branches
I want back in the river
The river is teeming with life
The shore holds darkness and despair
But sometimes it seems so much easier…
