A familiar feeling has faded into me,
I close my eyes and peer through eternity,
Awakened and convinced that in my last life,
You stood next to me as my wife.
These ties that bind us, these invisible strings,
They've kept us connected through many a thing.
If you are mine now as I was yours then,
I thank you for every minute that you chose to spend,
In my company, beside me
holding my hand,
As we walk together, exploring this strange land.
My moonlight over still waters,
Silent whispers on soft lips,
I will never falter,
To rest these hands on those hips,
My breath on your neck,
And I groan with greed,
The past but a speck,
As I fulfil my need.
Hoping beyond hope that these ties that bind,
Will ferry us always into our next timeline..

In fields of gold I dare to go, where never growing old I row and row,
never farther than my eye could see, ...for He is looking right at me;
Flying on the wings of hope, thankful every day for that special ray
that sends me to the sun, like a soaring Cormorant flying free..
Mixing clay and water I will build my wings and temper gently
with the coming of the light, just like Jonah did,
from the belly of the night....
The last few words I said to you, may they fall afresh like dew
on the lawn of your heart, may you run for peace and not forget
that when the waters rise and you can't swim,
do like Noah did and build an arc !
In fields of gold I dare to go, where never growing old I row and row,
never farther than my eye could see, ...for He is looking right at me;
I am a ripple in the quantum field of life, a pulse in the heart of you
listen and learn what it is that lights you up and fills you with joy.
Before you dare to go to those fields of gold where you never
grow old, just row and row and row and row, and never let go.
My friend Rae
On 13th, day, 3rd, month, 1973, I lost Rae.
I was 30 years old on that sad, fateful day.
30 years later, on a river, I relived that time.
On a bolder, I told him to let go, in a rhyme,
it was time to depart, let go of the pain.
Spirit wondering here, nothing to gain.
Forty six years have now past, I pray
his Soul, in this dimension , did not stay.
That he is no longer wandering the river, Grand.
That he is at peace, among the angles he doth stand.

I work every day for Lola Rae
A lady whose mind must have its say,
The images flow fast
Of politicians that won't last,
She ought to be the one to draw their pay!
From October 2000
Rae
To day ! I took a walk to a river far from.
To day ! I took a look into the river of time.
To day ! I took a time to reflect upon.
To day ! I took a piece of you out of my mind.
Yesterday ! - haunted many of my days, my nights
Yesterday ! - weighed heavy upon all I have done
Yesterday ! - on this date since – made my bones – ice.
Yesterday ! – I do believe – is slowly fading away.
Tomorrow ! – will it bring peace and set you free ?
Tomorrow ! – will it bring release and let me be ?
Tomorrow ! – will the end of your journey let you see ?
Tomorrow ! – is left for you to fly beyond that time and me !
Spread your wings Rea !!!
Come to enjoy a new day ???

Everyday when we're out to play
no ones watching us but Rae
Please tell me you've met him before ?
He's brave, and he's dependant as he sors!
I love my watcher Rae
He's out everyday from about 7-8
and did I mention thats like 13 hours !
He's large and he's stout
He's in and he's out
and he keeps us alive with his powers !
My Rae is the best, he's good for a rest
and he warms you if you're ever cold.
He's the number one star, he lights his way from Earth to Mars
and even to the oldest of olds
He is old.
I’m writing this for you
Thought I’d let you know
Just how much you mean to me
As our friendship continues to grow.
Its like we are connected
In some strange way
You know what I am thinking
Without my having to say.
We both laugh so hard
It makes us both cry
We tell each other secrets
That would make others die.
If I could have a sister
I’d want her to be like you
A little Rae of sunshine
In my life that’s sometimes blue.
Just wanted to let you know
You are deep within my heart
Our friendship will go on
If we ever have to part.
