The Blackness of Night

Lunar rays,

Light the blackness of the night,

Shadows dancing in the moonlight,

Shooting stars,

Racing through the sky,

All before the break of a day,

When golden rays,

Break through cotton clouds,

As the sun rises in the sky,

Time just ticks on by.....

The Alarm

The alarm woke me,

From my sleep,

Actually from my dream,

My hand slipped from yours,

Drifted we did,

Now afar,

As my eyes opened,

To the break of day,

Now I don't know where you are,

As I sit on the edge of a bed,

With your image,

Inside my head......

The Fisherman

The fisherman,

Came to fish,

Stalking his prey,

From the banks of the canal,

Reflections,

Of the over head limbs,

Of hanging branches,

Loaded with shades of green,

The whispering leaves,

Over the stillness of the calm water,

Patiently,

The heron,

Hunted for his prey,

On his canal,

For the day......

Canal Bank Heron

A Journey

A journey,

The path is unexpected every day,

With each foot step,

The imprint is a memory of a past moment,

In time and place,

As the future is in the that footstep,

Of the one,

Taken before....

Bude Canal Walk

 

Widecombe Bay

The path led me to Widecombe Bay,

With white horses racing to shore,

Listening to the roar,

Which one would be the first to shore,

Crashing in to seashore rocks,

Wave spray created by the shock,

With gulls flying in the sky,

Playing with the breeze,

Before they dive,

Surfers on the crest,

Putting their skills to the test,

People on the beach,

Some with dogs,

Off the leash.....

The Hug

To hold you in my arms,

Your head upon my chest,

My heart and mind combined,

As I stare into those eyes,

Not conscious of time,

As the world just passes by....

A Heart

The heart was opened,

The key was a kiss,

The mind it fell in line,

Cupid's arrow,

Did not miss,

It was only a matter of time....

The Heart

To Grace The Sky

The Sun it rose,

To grace the sky,

To warm the day,

That produces a smile,

It touched the rooftops,

Kissed the trees and whispered,

To the world as people walked by,

As one walked on a chosen path,

Along on one's way,

Beneath the hush of the morning's rush,

Singing a tune to a rhythmic beat as the feet lead the way,

Each breath carries the words of the song carried

on the breeze in soften tones,

As the footsteps dance on the forgotten stones 

beneath one's feet,

That is where we find ourselves,

In a golden hush,

Not lost,

But gently found,

A soul who is at peace..............

Echo's Upon A Path

Echo's heard upon a path,

Voice of the past,

Carried by the wind,

Travelled so far,

Awakened my soul,

Capturing attention,

With curiosity,

As walls tumbled down.........

A Robin

A Robin flew to a tree on my path,

This was fate,

It was meant to be,

He sang a song,

In his merry way,

Only a few will understand his words,

This brought joy,

In so many ways,

For as he flew away,

A smile was born,

As I knew I would see him again,

On another path,

On another day.....

Robin 

A Thousand Words

To write a thousand words,

How one feels,

But cannot find those eyes,

Who would read,

A message unread,

For a thousand years,

Maybe in another lifetime,

Is when we are meant to be......

Rose & Bones 

That Path Unknown

To be on that path,

The wind is howling,

Biting the flesh,

Like the hounds of hell,

The courage to face the fear,

To press forward through the storm,

On the path unknown,

Trusting in inner strength,

Strength to pass the test,

Until you find some shelter,

That is where to rest a burdened head,

To take some time,

Until the new dawn,

When the storm has gone,

With a new day born.....

Twisted Face

A Rainy Day

To walk on a path on a rainy day,

Path was still there after the storm had

passed this way,

It led to a rainbow,

Under the arch,

On the path,

Did not stray,

Now the sun is shining,

One is well on one's way......

Try To Feel

One tried to feel,

A heart was still,

The rhythm had slowed it's beat,

To feel it still,

It was unreal,

This was not meant to be,

For it felt as if life was on pause,

In conflict with time,

As the seconds fell through the hands,

Just like grains of sand.....

Contemplating one's fate,

On destiny's path one waits,

Until a sign is shown,

That direction is then known,

A Stones Throw

A stone thrown into a pond, 

The splash resonated,

As ripples were born,

From the impact to the shore,

Like a heart beat that sings a song,

That special rhythm,

For a message is born,

Hoping to reach another heart,

That wants to sing along,

For a message can travel far and wide,

Not controlled by distance or time,

For if this message reaches you,

Hello from me to a special you.......

The Rhythm of a Heart

A Passed Day

To feel the warming glow, 

The sun was rising slow,

A day had passed,

The new is starting,

Forward one must go,

The horizon in the distance,

Sand beneath the feet,

A chosen direction taken,

With the first foot step,

Leaves a deep impression on the beach,

That Path

That path led one away from you,

Their happiness is important,

But yours is too,

A step at a time you must go,

In the present moment that you know,

For every path is different,

As a past story shows...........

We Find Times

In life we find times when we pause,

It's all about choice,

Your choice,

No right,

No wrong,

Be brave and take that first step,

If it doesn't go as planned,

Pause,

You learned,

You have done your best,

Let your inner instincts guide you,

One day that path will lead to a wonderful thing,

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

Emotions Flow

The emotions flow,

Tear stained streams,

Of what the pain means,

Now to see clearly,

Of what you truly mean,

Looking through the windows,

Of a Soul,

Looking at you,

Looking at me,

Lost,

In a space, between,

Releasing the pressure,

A wall crashing down,

Removing that barrier,

Perhaps now we can talk,

For if true love exists,

After being put to the test,

Love will find a way,

For if two Souls,

Hear the same song,

Of two hearts singing,

They can become one........

Tears of a Clown

Dreams

Lost in a night of dreams,

Sleeping,

But awake,

What does it mean,

What is real,

Very unsure,

The visions of a day,

Replayed on a loop,

As the sun rises again,
