Light filters through my mind,
Finding my belief on the other side,
My eyes pried open wide,
Projecting a reflection of inside,
Like the changing of the tides,
We ride the Ebb & flow,
Knowing where we want to go,
Growing our own field of awareness,
Bear witness to what's before you,
Explore every avenue,
Travel to your inner core,
Theres's way more,
Then what you came for,
A portal to past information,
Is stationed within your cells,
Swelling with excitement to tell,
You never fell from grace,
They displaced your allegiance,
Implanted a grievance,
Committing treason to the soul,
As they gain control of the flow,
Knowing you'll watch their show,
Slowly starting to let go,
Letting others tell you what to know,
Growing afraid of your own shadow,
Tomorrow a scary place to go,
Blow off the dust,
Clean up the rust,
Trust in your unique design,
It was a gift from the Divine.
joyful jubilant Santa and Rudoph too
Love it that tonight the sky is blue
It looks like calm weather for Christmas Eve
They are dancing in happiness, glad to believe
It is fun to see them in spirits so high
Before they take their red sleigh up into the sky
they are giddy with excitement, glad weather is mild
Easier tonight to delight every believing child
you bring me comfort
in your chaos.
with every rumble,
with every crash,
my heart pings with joy.
I feel your rawness my blood rushes faster
then my veins can hold.
I become an adrenaline junkie,
jolted with excitement
alive.
Every strike you send
a message
a sudden transformation forms.
I am one with you,
I feel your power,
hold your energy.
you've set me on a new course
while bringing inner peace
Awakening to a cool morning and
coffee fueled hope,
everyday is an unknown path.
I mann the helm of life,
just as the sailor to his boat.
We both set our eye on a course,
a broad reach of twists and turns
farther then imaginable.
We have no destination
just carefree sailing on a new day.
Everyday is a different outcome,
some days we stand in awe,
some days we struggle for that reach.
We float through life on choppy waters,
isolation more comfortable alone then with others.
It's a time to find oneself,
instead of feeling like we are nonexistant.
i search for everything that is possible - tangible.
While the ocean roars with excitement,
i feel a silent victory within.
Ocean waves roll in with excitement and unknown of its fate
Love you are so sweet, your songs make me feel so happy I could faint.
Love I miss you so, your kisses were like candy, they made me feel sweet and wanting more.
Love you are so loved, like the moments in time, we walked around in the clouds, you gave me sun shining love and my heart fluttered and I fell to the ground with excitement.
We spent days away making memories, laughing and playing with our silly ways, you made me laugh with all your faces, you caused me to get a tummy ache, I laughed so hard, I thought I split my pants.
Love you are so sweet, never change, lets keep all of our moments special and ours to keep forever.
Lifting love and prayers to God, today and always.
The Sun rises in a flash of enthusiasm,
as birds flock in delicate swirls.
The lake lets loose its solemn mists,
to enchant the finely dressed trees.
It's springtime in the Rockies,
with its tumultuous pantheon.
Those towering Majestics,
that burst with excitement.
The train of moving images,
signing Gods greatest works.
The tell of beautiful obelisks,
that rule the attending fields.
and whose shadows point,
to the path of potentialities.
Where brave men stand...
with their Towering Dreams!
she kicked off her shoes and let the sand squish into her toes
the music was straight out of the seventies, folk and fun
with excitement she began to twirl and kick up the beach
feeling nineteen again, not caring who saw
being herself for the first time in fifty years
My love is so sweet, he can call me even in my sleep.
Like a dream only he can build, he pulls me near and whispers sweet things in my ear.
My love is so strong, like a lion he has strong arms and pulls me near.
My love likes to play, like a lion in his den, he likes to play and make me laugh all day.
My love is like the weather, he changes all the time, making me take cover from all the storms.
My love makes me feel like no other, making me smile with excitement.
My love fits me like a glove, making me want to kiss him with love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scissors whisper through crisp paper,
a tongue of tape curls at the edge.
Fingers fold corners crisp as December air,
hiding secrets under brilliant surfaces.
Like a child's missed heartbeat, the ribbons loops,
each knot a promise ready to break
The bow swells, plump with excitement~
this is where excitement hides, not in the giving,
but in the quiet rebellion of shape:
how paper pretends it was never flat.
I am light and fluffy
spun in a mixer with a bit of vanilla
I knew I was not going to be a common omelet
I would be an omelet du fromage
something good enough for Parisians and kings
Chef added tomatoes and pepper jack cheese
I was popping and kicking with excitement now
the people served were amazed
she smells wonderful! They told the chef
The chef and I both beamed
Glad to delight.
acorns falling
planting residents
dormant leaves shaking
with excitement
roots to grow
rings to wind
bark to shine
at last buds unfurl
Like an ancient Ebenezer
oaks positioned to be victorious
the giant office clock slowed down an hour ago
From four to five is at least six hours long
Because it is Friday and we have plans
Robert has his fishing pole and worms in the car
the worms are in a secure refrigerated container.
I stare at the clock willing the second hand to move
It does not care
the boss calls me in
can I stay for a brief meeting after work?
Is he insane? It is Friday!
I have a six-hour drive before I see my twin.
the only day of the week that I look forward to any more
I lead the charge out the door, down the steps, into cars on Fridays
We don’t wave to each other when we reach our automobiles
We are not friends, merely work mates
No way we would party one second outside of work
People are jumping about, giddy with excitement
The clock finally reached five.
I hate my boss.
The standards I have set for myself
are almost impossible to return from.
I want a life burning with excitement,
a life where my femininity is celebrated.
In this diaspora I live,
I just need to be great.
No one depends on me.
I cling to myself
like a sloth clinging to its tree.
I have a future that hangs
at the corner of my head,
ready to burst into reality.
Without greatness in mind, I'm merely a breeze,
another woman ready to be sold off for marriage.
But I am nothing without the future I see.
I can’t live
live without the greatness I impeccably need.
I'm all I have.
and I need.
I No longer look for any contact
Your memory is fading like the past
Dreams we shared once alive
Dreams now give possibilities
Values shape our soul endlessly
Honor yourself and your family and open totally
Dancing with myself is like singing in the rain
Future I welcome with excitement
Fear is exempt
Letting go has saved me
Dreams are my right you see
