A Meditated Mind

volcanic within cool calming waters without master of themselves

A Brother Lost

"Wake up" said the voice, its only something that you dreamed.
When I woke to reality, I hoped it wasn't what it seemed.

Everything was amidst, I couldn't feel you my brother.
I hope your in a field of eternal flowers, reunited with your mother.

Your spirit was beautiful, wild and free.
There was so much to you that the world couldn't see.

Now there's so much we'll never know.
Who you would be, where you would go.

Losing you weighs on me, like atlas holding the earth on his shoulders.
To see you again I'd swim the seas over, roll away any boulders.

I'll tell my daughter of the uncle she would've loved to have known.
How intelligent, wise, deep and kind he'd grown.

Elysium is where I hope your soul may rest.
Heaven isn't good enough you deserve the best.

When my roaming here is done, we'll meet once more.
Keep a light lit for me brother, I hope to find you waiting on the shore.

Unfiltered Joy

Anyone that knows me would know that my emotions flow free. 
If I'm nothing but a lover I'm OK with that. 
Honestly how do you communicate feelings that run deeper than oceans,
and would span the universe if materialized. 

Luna Galilee Dungan has captivated the very essence of my soul, 
a trait I believe she inherited from her mother. 
Beauty is undefined and exists in all places, 
small and large, noticed and unnoticed. 

I've wandered through life looking and catching,
glimpses of it everywhere love is found.
I like to imagine that everyone that's passed through this life,
despiteless of being good or bad has given somebody the happiness,
I've experienced at least for a heartbeat. 

To hold such an immensity of unfiltered joy that it radiates up and out of you, washing over humanity making the world a better place,
 if only for a moment in time. 
That is as close as I can come to doing these emotions poetic justice. 

I am engulfed by love for my daughter
 and the woman who has shared this adventure with me. 
All I can do is devote my entirety to them. 
The two who own my undivided attention forever and always.
