Dream Weaver
A trickling of the spirit
Flowing and swaying
Misty and faint
Purity of mind and soul
Glowing in the dark, a light, pulsating
The spirit shows its own true form
The being that lies within
Hidden from the world surrounding
A mask that concealed its life
Cloven, on the floor
Disappears into the blackness
Ebbing around the gathering of matter
Threads pass to and fro
Forming a reality misshapen by desire and yearning
Now creating that held in the heart
Existence becomes real, death becomes fate
Casting about the spell of endless time
No counting can frame in this power
Living in a mysterious dream
Walking about unheard and unseen
I am the Dream Weaver
I live for my own
None can end the beauty of my magic
My spirit, none shall change
Until the day one enters my realm
And claims my sacred treasure
I shall rule in loving happiness
Creating a world of dreams
Snow
A blanket of cold envelops
the pine forest, behind the white cottage
beneath a chilling veil.
Jack bites nose, ears, skin, unguarded by wool.
Frost donned by every blade of grass, leaf, twig,
Crunch, crunch, crunch...
Hypothermic water slides over ice shields coating rocks.
Tiny, white, crystalline flakes float like fairies
from the billowing, grey swells above,
sprinkling their snow dust atop needled limbs;
concealing pines in Winter sameness.
Crystals of varying disguise - frozen in time,
melt on hot breath, glisten on the frosty fence,
insulating the fragile babes of spring.
Blinding all with the Suns’ intense beauty.
Thicker they fall, cascading through wind currents,
tumbling down high pressure waves,
the more they obscure the distant hills and crests.
Forcing shelter to be sought against the perilous cries
of ghosts, preserved in it’s glacial embrace.
Lost
The mist of uncertainty enshrouds me again
The deep well of night and mood
His sword pierced my gut long days before
I utter a sigh, the fall of Rome
As I lay there dying from the inside out
I’m haunted by a shadow of fear and doubt
Is it fear of future or something lost, unknown?
Imagining this pain, it’s not really real
Don’t take my words for divine truth
Why? Why? What? Why?
Leave me alone!
Leave my mind at rest!
Stop badgering, hassling me!
I want quiet, stillness, peace
I want to hold your hand, and not ramble about
Mistakes, misuse and my own misperception
To be consumed by your strength of pure heart
Eradicate these ghostly thoughts
I want to be us.
What is Music?
Music
Flowing between the thoughts
Expression without words
A creation to be interpreted
Many meanings for a single phrase
Lyrical or rhythmical
Variations of a single mind
A joy in which ever way you choose
To be made in the quiet morn
Or the dead of night,
The bustle of the crowd
Or the excitement of rare delight
To entertain or to amuse
To accompany or stand alone,
And shine above the rest
To show off or cowardly descend
It’s a feeling which grows
And must be expressed
Growing and growing
Till it explodes with emotions or sound
Filling the arena with passion,
Love, hate
Movement of moods
Explaining the feeling of joy or sadness within
It’s there with you where ever you are
To be seen or just heard
Or thought of for the first time
It’s music, it’s within you.
Never ending time.
Untried Questions
The gully is filling with fog
As the sky is darkened by clouds
Rain is promised by god
As the thunder rumbles the ground
The trees sway in the wind
As the storm approaches the land
The chance of survival is slim
As lightening strikes where you stand
And you ask the lord why
Haven’t you been faithful to him?
You look to the sky
And begin to cry
Lord I’ve tried
Praising your word every day
Lord I’ve tried
Helping you in every way
I plant the trees in your name
And I give thanks before every meal
I know things don’t remain the same
But does time do nothing but steal
I live for you
I’m indebted to your love and peace
But it’s faded, the colours hue
I’m no longer free like the flying geese
I’ll spread your good will
Asking nothing in return
But for peace in mind
And a blessing over those who pray for your return
Sky, Star
Trees sway, leaves rustle
Sun sinks, darkness falls
Stars twinkle, stars fall
Sky glows, moon shines
The Sky found his Star
Holds her close so she won’t fall
She twinkles the brightest
Birds chirp, sun rises
Dew drips, fog fades
Critters creep, airs fresh
Sky brightens, clear day
The Sky shines, pinned high above
His Star sleeps, holding him tightly so he won’t fall
He lights the earth the brightest
They shine together, with loving hearts
Beating together, though distance sets them apart
But Skies and Stars belong together forever!
Sonnets
Sonnet #1
The sunlight shines upon the forest floor
Wind blows the leaves on the trees back and forth
The soil travels far from way up north
A gateway passes, a carved wooden door
The rivers trickle down the mountain pass
Carving faces into the stony ridge
Trees have fallen, forming a natural bridge
Growing wild, sleeping amongst the grass
The one to travel these lands unguarded
Climbing mountains, swimming rivers, searching
The peace within not worth a life’s lurching
Finds them selves to be the open hearted
The fated may look, the chosen will find
Two pieces they are, bringing peace to mind
Sonnet #2
Does Sunlight shine upon the forest floor?
Should wind blow the leaves of trees back and forth?
Your smile shines like the sunrise up north
So beautiful my eyes divert to yours
The rivers trickle down the mountain pass
Carving your face into the stony ridge
Your heart so strong, forming a natural bridge
Growing wild, you sleep amongst the grass
The one to travel your lands unguarded
Climbing mountains, swimming rivers, searching
The soul within to be your true hearted
Love cannot be made; you’re the one to find
The eyes of your heart, bringing peace to my mind
What is Love
A being of warmth - a soul,
Blank of experience.
I breathe sweet life into
the start of her beginning.
Through all the troubles of life
She is my one of two precious miracles.
I will keep her safe and treasure her,
For always.
At times when I am lonely,
She comes to play with me.
She is company
I don’t always get along with
Impatient as a puppy,
She is eager and willing to help -
As active as a spring chicken.
The only one who cares about me.
She helps when I need it most.
The one I can rely on,
When no one else is around to care.
A star so out of reach;
She fell into my life.
Wild, fun and explosive!
I would spend every moment of my life
With her alone.
Knowledgable, helpful and kind,
What advantages are to be gained from helping us?
Time races by, like thoroughbreds at the races -
We glimpse her, but for only a few moments.
Too many questions are swirling about her;
A hypnotizing mess of colours.
Why must I repeat? repeat? repeat?
Quiet and self opinionated,
But always willing to to assist.
Well rounded like an eroded stone,
Bent at work from dawn till dusk,
So much potential in one young soul,
Her only Achilles heel - to correct her words,
walls her in.
She feeds me
Purr
She cuddles me
Purr
She cleans me
Purr
She lets me sleep with her
Purr Purrr
I travel the world;
Absorbing interest after interest,
Seeking to improve - always,
All that is and surrounds me.
Hoping for the best
In life,
Searching for Love
My Love Is Gone Like Shadows In the Night
My love is gone like shadows in the night.
My heart now cries in pain with raw despair;
Without her near the music’s not as bright.
I tried to make her stay with all my might;
I sang to her of how I longed and cared.
But love is gone like shadows in the night.
She told me once my conduct was contrite,
as she explained the ways of our affair.
Without her near the music’s not as bright.
The song I sang at court was true and right,
for I’ve not laid thine eyes on one more fair.
Now love is gone like shadows in the night.
She smiled and laughed, while dubbing me her knight,
then spoke at last of her betrothed Courtier;
Without her near the music’s not as bright.
My heart now cries in pain with raw despair,
as she now lays beside him in his lair.
My love is gone like shadows in the night,
Without her near the music’s not as bright.
Birth of Life
First with fierce friction and passion begins,
Among the dry tinder, a spark ignites,
Embers then glow with breath boiling within
Bringing a precious bright flame into life.
Gentle roots branch out and start to disperse,
The small delicate sprout begins to feed,
Entangling through dense, nutrient rich earth,
Its limbs spreading forth from a single seed.
Initial drop; an expansive ripple,
A wave of longing starts to swell and grow.
A breach in the dam starts with a trickle,
Until the waters edges over flow.
The first breath of life is moving and bright;
A young tender soul smiling at the light.
Be Gone
The mist of uncertainty enshrouds me once again.
... a deep well unseen in the night, a creeping mood
His sword pierced my gut long days before;
I utter a sigh, the fall of Rome.
As I lay there dying from the inside out,
I’m haunted by a shadow of doubt and fear
Of a future that could be lost, a time unknown to be.
I’m imagining this pain; it’s not really real.
Don’t take my words for divine truth.
Why? Why? What? Why?
Leave me alone!
Leave my mind at rest...
Stop badgering me, hassling me...
I want quiet, stillness, flat line peace.
I want to hold your hand, and not ramble on,
On about mistakes, misuse, and my own misperception,
But to be consumed by your strength and pure heart,
And eradicate these ghostly thoughts of ghouls in our skin
I want to just be us, without this misconception.
