Nature's Conversation

Listen...
To the sounds of Nature around you.
Take that moment of your busy life, reflect,
Listen...
Be open to what you are missing.
Do you hear the conversation of Nature surrounding you?
Yes it's there,
Listen...
The gentile breeze rustling the leaves of the trees,
Dancing, talking intertwined together,
Becoming one with each other.
Listen...
Do you hear the birds as they sing to each other from tree to tree.
The sound of music they sing to one another,
Telling their story of adventures they had that day.
Listen...
Do you hear the waves hugging the shoreline,
Never seeming to get enough.
Listen...
To the buzz of the bee dancing,
From flower to flower,
Making the visit short but ever so sweet.
Listen...
To the conversation of Nature,
Your missing out on a beautiful story,
She has to tell.
Don't let the conversation fall onto deaf ears.
For one day, one day, 
Nature will fall silent,
And the only conversation that you will hear,
Will be your own.
Will your story be as beautiful as hers?

The Lost Love

Can you remember the moments we shared?

I was travailing in the dark,
I had no  money in my pocket.

Never sure of what to do,
I met you and
Found myself in you.
You burning deep in my heart,
It felt so right.

Holding me, face to face,
Touching me, cheek to cheek.
We were close,
We were two of a kind.

We both searched for the perfect world,
We knew we would never find.

Whenever you were down,
You could talk to me.
I was always there.

It was past midnight,
You were fast asleep.
The dreams staying with you,
Showing a hidden smile on your face.

I hope I never take that smile from you!

If I had to live without you,
I'd be so lonely.

My heart is crying out for you,
Nothing will change my Love for you.

Tell me you'll Love me forever,
You said no.

Where is the Love you said was mine?
I need to know!

Don't you want somebody?

Don't you need somebody?

You can say good-bye,
But I will never go.

Now the miles are between us,
You don't need to worry.

A broken heart will mend,
If given the time.

I'll see you one day!

To long ago,
To long apart.

I must see you!

I need you!

I still Love you!

Love

More than twenty years have passed.
I followed my path and you yours.
Time to time over the years,
Our paths would cross.
Always brief to say a few words.

Now we meet once again.
We take the time to really know,
That we have missed each other so.
Our lives filled, 
But never complete.

Emptiness inside,
Emotions stirred,
Consoling one another.

Our hearts growing warmer,
Gazing into each others eyes,
No words are needed to be spoken.

Moments turn into hours,
Hours turn into days.
Every moment waiting for that message,
To bring a smile to the other.

The Sparkle, faint at first
Deep inside each others eyes.
Becoming bright to show, 
The Love hidden so deep inside.

Never knowing where this will go,
Having faith that soon it will show.
In the mean time we take things slow,
Try as we do, not seeming to work.

Something is happening,
Never felt before.
We must open that door,
To say so much more.

Hanging on to each other,
Feeling the Love for one another.
Only time will tell,
If our paths are finally together.

Words

Words,
Words can hurt and can heal.
Words can condem and can praise.
Words of hate and of love.
Words can console and can ignore.
Words of happiness and of sadness.
Words can start wars and start peace.
It's our own choice of words,
That will decide our fate.
What are your words?
It's now up to you,
You know what to do.
Remember, words are just words,
It's all how you use them.

Life

We have to face our failures,
It is with our failures,
we build our personalities.

Your Love

Cloudy at first
Colorless it seems
Protective of heart
Letting little in
Blind to many things
Years slip away
Living nonexistant
Only being
Losing out on many things
Life carries on
The color of it all
So bright
Slipped into a place of darkness
Not wanting to come out
Safe and protected
Feeling little
Holding back
Walls built
Strong and steadfast
To protect a shattered heart
Words spoken
From your heart
Powerful enough
To make a crack
Slipping in to touch my heart
Finding the shattered pieces
Slowly mending
So true, I can see it now
I see it in your eyes
Memorizing
The sparkle there
Strong and true
No words spoken
All told in your eyes
So inviting
Wanting to let go 
My darkness within
And straight to your light
To a place I truly belong
The crack breaking open
Your light shinning through
Like the rain to a flower
My heart growing within
From the Love of your heart.
