I write upon the fluttering pages of your mind,
My words of hope to make your spirit soar:
Reveal your inner light and charm,
When dark gloom and grief sow
Seeds of despair, never let them your soul pursue
And grow; pluck them out and away you throw.
I write upon rustling leaves of your thoughts that flow
From the tree of your heart, my words anew
To ease your unease and repose:
When dreadful storms do harm
Your mind's cool ocean, let pearls of peace cast ashore,
And help you smile at warm sunrise behind.
I write upon those empty spaces that I find
In your fragile heart, my words to implore
You to be ever poised and calm:
When endless waves of woes
Try to inundate you, never let them drown you.
Bask in the brightness of your own glint glow.

Now adorned with stylish face shield
we bask midst health protocol task...
thanking* God for Christmas, faith-sealed…
we cheer through smiley-designed mask.
*1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

today
i want to linger
in thoughts
of you
to regain
warmth
feel your hands
tracing the edges
of my soul
feel your lips
brush against mine
pastel like
just to bask
in the sunshine
you always seem
to bring

To ask
Why for temporary pleasure we cry
As if that were our main lives’ task
When our bones and muscles die
When complex answers to our questions lie somewhere else
Far and near, unclear and clear
If only our hearts and eyes could reverse
The lie we hold dear
When emotions inside our hearts take the best of our judgment
To render us blind
When in confusion we utter a nonsense comment in a ferment whose cement
Permanent answers, satisfactory answers can’t find
No matter how much we sigh, ply and fly
Shedding rivers of unfelt tears
In a bid to try
To escape fears
We harbor deep within our psyche
Where lies the sting of a lace string
Of synthetic shoes from Nyke
To which for arrogance we cling
Knowing not what we want
When we know not whether we’re coming or going
In the sea of delusion from which we can’t
Seem to break free despite the magnitude of the madness we keep enjoying.

So close but far.
So close but far, to cross for you. Is the task too much?
I bask in the sun alone, I left the door ajar
Hoping you will come back.
Hoping that wouldn't be too dark for us.
Is it still too much task?
I still bask In the sun with our door ajar.
Don't be far anymore because you are needed much more.
Please come back, don't leave Junior and I in the dark.

On the seas of grass I search with my heart
Beneath the heavens chest our love does start
On the path of time I lay at your feet
Flying on clouds of emotion we always meet
Exploring each other like a new found land
Waking the trails eagerly of the hourglass sand
Seeing the river of love we shall never get lost
The treasure of touch is worth above any cost
Treading adventure we own the eternal night
Soul to soul we bask in the hearts journey light

Oh dear child, no crying tonight
Don't get tied up
With the heart and mind's fight
Dear child, look towards the moon
Let the illumination penetrate your soul
It will all be better soon
Oh dear child, set your eyes on the moon's glow
Vision your happiness
And just let go
Dear child, let go of your worldly desire
Open your heart and mind
Soon the conflicts will retire

I bask in you glow
I love the way you touch my world
I like the way you voice flows
with sweet word for this girl
when you kiss me it stops my heart
as we dance into each other
just dont tear my world apart
dont leave me for another
keep holding me tight
taking my breath way
keep doing everything so right
be my sun today
your eye tell me you want me
your kiss says the same
you make me buzz like a bee
everytime you call my name

Solid overcast skies_light gray
Gentle breeze stirs wet air
Moisture penentrates everything
Day to play without care
Got to go in from the porch soon
Get busy with task
There are many chores to be done
What?_ maybe in rain bask
The rain is flooding down heavy
Click-clack the simple sound
At times there is a roar like train
On long, long journey bound
Now surrounded in stereo
Rain sounds, rain dampened page
Rain dampened hair, but not cold_comfy
Rain come stay let loose sage

How do u bask in the sunshine when all you see is rain.
Feeling every drop as it falls on your skin and when It touches... it's pain!!!
Leaving a constant ache and permanent stain.
While the words of GOD rang through my head "Be grateful and don't complain"..
Which sometimes feels impossible when there's no light and the rain just won't refrain..
Meanwhile standing one drop away from going insane...
Desperately in need of that light which keeps me maintained...
But if only I could see the sunshine through the rain.
