Rainy, rainy day

                                       
                                                          Rain, rain go away
                                                          run away, please do not stay
                                                          Rain, rain go away
                                                          your're making me feel grey

                                                         grey is grey, and not okay
                                                         it's cloudy way overtakes my day
                                                         the wet, the rain, the dark sky above
                                                         makes me want to wrap myself in love

                                                          love reminds me of brighter days
                                                          I feel the warmth and inside it stays
                                                          colors of light mingle in the drops
                                                          brightness dazzling, it never stops
                                                          umbrellas shade us from the rain
                                                          they help to prevent much of our pain
                                              love is an umbrella that protects us from the rains of life

sunday bliss?

round and round and round we go

do we wish to stop?

i hardly know

sometimes the spin is too much to take

i never seem to get a break

but they say that life is what u make

i've grabbed the wheel

i'm learning to heal

to remind myself of what is real

what's real is now

this moment, right here

i need to embrace it 

over come my fear

heal, live, create and feel

that is how i'll steer my wheel

Us

a smile

a tussle of their hair

their energy

light shines through

reflects the love

for themselves

their lives

their loves

all that they encounter

experience

learn

let love and life

thrive from their souls

and shine within and on all of us

Osmosis

float through

but do not touch

come close

but that's close enough

be here, be there

be everywhere

but keep to yourself

there is no more room on that part of the shelf

make room for me 

I am part of thee

can't you see

what you can be

be part of me

we are one

not two or three

just realize me

then we can just be

                                               

Open and let it in

                                                 I wonder how easy it is to open your mind?

                                            at a rate that your hand can keep up with your mind

how frustrating it is 

to work my way 

through a word

the letters slow to form

yet...

the feeling of excitement

the spark of ideas

amaze me continually

tuning out is hard

all i really want is to tune in

Blooms among the gray

flowers fill my senses
the scent of life in full bloom
the sound of the day passing you by
the sound of life buzzing in the air
the feel of a soft tickle on your toes
the taste of freshness
             all around you
like nectar slipping
                 d
                     o
                         w
                              n
                                 your throat
the sight....
oh, the sight- the wonderous color
ALIVE and BRIGHT

Love as Life

I saw this written on an old bridge in a nearby state park.  So many people have hiked these trails and left pieces of themselves on this bridge for all who follow to enjoy.  Many of the thoughts left to linger on this wood touched upon a part of my soul, none more so than this.  Love requires nothing- only people to feel and grow from it.  I hope for a day when love will be the cornerstone upon which our civilization prospers.  It seems to me that love is forgotten lately, something of stories- once dreamt of but not made for our general reality.  Poets and musicians and writers abound with ideas of only needing love- I wish that was all we needed... we need to love ourselves, we need to love each other and we need to love this amazing, beautiful ever changing earth on which we live.  When we find the love for all that bring us together maybe we can find the key to our troubles.  Love all that you can!
