Storms Of Life

The storms of life
run rampant through
our lives

weaving their way
across the planes

flooding the valleys
leaving remnants of
yesterday

rushing toward the
shore line
disturbing sand
castles

built there long
ago
leaving behind mounds
of sand

I Am Carried Away

In the
hallows
of my
mind
you
exist.

A precious
flower
I ponder
your
loveliness.

A breath
of fresh
air.

A Gathering

I sat and watched clouds
gathering,
Taking on familiar faces,

I was taken back to
yesterday,
When as children, we played
together,

Running on the beach, gathering
shells for our collections.
Building castles in the sand,

Teasing each other about
tomorrow,
How quickly time passes.

Branches In Time

A young tender
branch
is easily bent
into submission.

As time goes
by
maturity begins
to set in

the branch
grows stronger.

With each passing
day
she becomes able to
carry the leaves
attached

Until one day

Fallen Leaves

A gentle
breeze
blew leaves
upon your
tree.

They clung
to the
branches,
refusing
to
surrender.

A violent
storm
appeared,
beat
against
your
branches.

The Essence Of You

In the
gallery
of my
mind,
I ponder
your
existence.

Such a

breeze,
on a warm
spring
day.

A fresh
breath
of air,
softly
kissing

A Pot of Gold

My dear friend
I refuse to let
you go

somehow

it is difficult
to say good-bye
the golden threads
which has held us

together

for so long
refuses to sever
they have been
inter-laced

with time, and
knotted tightly

The Yesterday

As days and months, and
twisted years,
Quickly found their way,
Suddenly, I returned to the
yesterday.

I sat, and watched a cloud
float by,
Slowly across the Azure sky.
Heard a whisper, in the trees,

Thought I felt you in a breeze.
Sought a flower for your hair,
When I reached, you were'nt
there.

Together Again

As I approach
the spiritual
rehlm
my honey is
waiting for
my arrival.

Hand in hand
we will stroll
through the
garden of
flowers.

Smell their
essence
touch the soft
petals.

In the lush
meadows

This Journey (revised)

The day we met
my desires became
inflamed with your
love.

Threads of gold
and silver
tied themselves
around my heart.

Your lips whispered
heavenly's on my
mouth
your arms provided
warmth.

Knowing you has been
my heart's delight.
I kiss the day and
move forward
