Chasing stars
Aligned with brilliance
Forging hearts
In stormy signatures
Rain falls as reverence
Wetting the face of forgiveness
Extinguishing the fire of this soul’s madness
That drifts into the midnight hour
Where darkness searches for light
My blood flows red and alive
Awaiting

Met a beautiful lady
Fine like wine
Explored each other
Opened new doors
Activated my third eye
soft to the touch
your return is so addictive yet so right
i am reborn here
you grind so thoroughly over me
tears are a new ocean with all impurities swept clean
oh how i missed how you knew me
oh how i missed how you responded to my knowing you
maybe after this reunion we will show how we both have learned to be more honest with our feelings and ourselves
this is only the removal of the bookmark
it is up to us to turn to the next page and write the rest of the chapters as we truly want them to go
perhaps our current, continuing story will alas be....soft to the telling....in smooth motion

Walking the plank I can see death before
my eyes.
Balanced by the winds and set by the Sun
I’m alive.
Dancing on the Sun and sliding on the
Moon I jive.
And the Stars are shining bright and to
their surprise.
Looking down I can see the cities and
towns of lies.
Many are hopeless and helpless yet they
will strive.
It is like jumping off of a cliff for the
oceans dive.
Many can hear my tone and many wave
good byes.
It is a song and a dance,
A shout and a scream,
And all of it at a glance,
And a wondrous dream!
At a glance I’m activated from way up
above.
Sent with lots of love by a little white
dove!
I feel you; your love caresses my skin…
I know you; remembering my many incarnations…
I see you in the glowing eyes…
Rapture from this spirit cleansed with your tears…
Why do we worry?
Why do we analyze?
Relax the breath; be revealed the surprise…
Illumination subsides lonely separation…
I realize… I realize… I realize…
You and I are one…
Emerging energy from loves womb…
Relinquish passing time; living infinity, wholly divinity…
I hear you in my mind…
Closing my eyes to gaze upon your face…
I summon your courage…
Your wise words offer me; within lays the power…
Transform your home earth place…
Shifting tides expose…
Our infancy has departed...
The rebirthing of reality is now…
I summon your ideal image…
Expansive growth; layered throughout the universe…
Invited embraces towards unknown future…
The mystery filled with simplicity; peace filled heart lived lives…
Awakens creative consciousness connection with all people…
Teaching reasoning; what I do for you I do for myself…
I love you so that I may love myself…
I am kind so I receive kindness…
I give so that I may receive…
