| Surprised Once Again By the Twists and Turns of Life... |
| A New Companion I find a new companion in you, a new-found feeling: A strength unknown. The silence ends after so many years and opens a new path. What will this one hold? Will it be the best? More than friends? Same as now and no more? Or a relationship with a slow death? I wonder what each new conversation will bring. You are such a part of me and know so much. It feels like we've been here forever. I long to know more and yet am content with me, content with this and hope for what will come. |
| Following Dreams At this time of year, it is always asked what do you want from life? The usual answers are given, a job, money, a home, fame, family. Yet I know I want something more. I want -- I long for -- warm, loving arms to hold me. Someone who is more than a friend yet less than a lover. I know my time will come and he will appear. Yet I wonder, how long will I have to wait and I pray it won't be long and until then, I will follow the rest of my dreams. Dreams of a job, money, a home, and maybe -- just maybe -- a little fame. |
| Silence Overwhelms Silence overwhelms when the mind is alone. I have known this feeling well and yet now it seems distant past. For I feel closer now than ever to the pure happiness I once felt. Strange, your happiness seems to control mine. Not completely but enough to make me happy. No matter my mood, your voice, your smile, your laughter and your words cheer me. You help control my extremes and now -- today -- hopefully Forever, I am happy. I blame this on you! And I thank you. For right now the silence is at bay filled with joyous laughter and wonderful conversations with you. |
| Branches of Life Wildly moving silent winds propel. Leaves spinning following the breeze. Beautiful, silent, russling fortresses of life. Creating blood of the Earth with the energy of the sun. Enjoying the breeze while it lasts and swaying lazily in the sun. |
| Your Heart Opens Your heart opens, yuor soul revealed. I've seldom seen you like this, happy, joyous, fulfilled yet longing. Longing to be loved by one such as yourself. It's almost here, the love you seek. Your happiness is contagious for I feel it too. I long for your happiness, for your life to be fulfilled. And I know for now -- no matter what happens later -- I know your happy now with your heart open and your soul revealed. |
| Graduation The end is near, I see it now. I see the good-byes, the tears and sorrow. I see the sadness and pain melt away. I see the future bright and happy. I hear the speeches and music. I hear the cries of happiness and the cries of sadness. I hear the cheers and laughter. I hear the silence for those lost, those who will never see this day. We knew this day would come. We have known for years, and finally it is here. All the tears and fears and all the happiness and excitement. We know what the past has brought. What will tomorrow bring? |
