A Single Night

A night of wonder,
a time of fear,
the unknown before you
and no way to turn back.

That night of wonder,
a time of hope,
the unknown before you
and no yearning to go back.

A single night with
time unchecked
as your fears,
your hopes,
and your dreams...

are realized.

A Single Step

An open doorway, only steps away
Beyond it I know what lies
I've been there before
I need not e afraid,
Yet I hesitate.

Now I take a step
I know where I must go
I go not to that door of which I spoke,
but to another
There is another, but IT lies shut
behind it lies unknown places and hidden worlds

To that door I now step
frightened but knowing,
beyond that door lies
my future.
A Photograph

A little girl on the sand
Sun shining in her hair,
sand so white, water so blue,
A picure perfect paradise.

Time stands still as I look into the past,
the past of someone else.
Where things and people,
feelings and thoughts,
are all frozen in time.

The little girl forever warm
with sand between her toes.
The bucket at her side always half full,
the sand castle forever left unbuilt.

To pick up this picture and gaze at it
makes me feel warm inside
and wonder whatever happened
to the little girl with her big brown eyes

Listen

Close your eyes,
take a breath,
and listen...

Do you hear the people talking?
Do you hear thier words?

now listen deeper

Can you hear the whispers?
Can you hear the sighs?

one more time now,
deeper still

Hear the words unspoken,
hear the love
hear the friendship
hear the joy and sorrow
And when you open your eyes keep listening

and don't forget...

breathe.
My Angel, My Friend

You called me your angel,
and yet your so much more than I.
You called me your friend,
and I thought of how you saved me
when I wanted to die.

You were there for me when I needed you,
You held my hand when I was scared,
and still you acted as though,
this thing that we had,
was mine...
... and only mine.

You called me your angel
but you were wrong,
even if i didn't know it then.
You were my angel,
and you were my friend...

and now that I know it,
your gone. Someday
I'll meet you again,
my angel, my friend.
Rainbow

For every Color there is a feeling,
For ever  Feeling there is a word,
For every Word there is a person,
For every Person there is a thought,
With every thought a new color is born.
Eyes of a child

Look into the eyes of a child
And within you will see the world.
In their laughter lies
the answers to world peace,
In their smile
a cure to any ailment,
and in their hands;
in their hands the future of our world.
The very same world that can be seen
by simply looking,
into the eyes of a child.

On and On

People come and people go,
People live and die,
But what is most important,
Is what they leave behind.
Never let that perish,
Her memory hold dear,
And she will live on and on,
Through the many years.
Someone Special

She was someone special,
She was someone dear,
She is gone forever,
At least she's gone from here.

But as you hold the pain now,
Hold her memory too,
And in your heart she will be,
Never gone from you.
A Hidden Friend

That person you see every day.
You never speak but walk away.
One day you wave and they wave back,
then you each say hello.

Time goes on and hellos turn to heys.
You start to stop and chat together
and now you always wave.

A hidden friend,
this person here,
not one you would expect.
Yet so much in common,
so much the same.

And it all started with a wave.
A Lifetime
An hour,
A day,
A week goes by,
Each seeming longer and yet shorter than it aught.
A quote
"It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, a day to love someone, but it can take a lifetime to forget someone,"
What is a lifetime?
Is it the span from your birth to your death?
Or can it be that a lifetime can be 3 years or 1 week?
Can it be that you live many lifetimes in your one life?
What is a lifetime?
Is it that day that you will never forget?
Do lifetimes begin and then end,
without you knowing until they are over?
What is a lifetime?
I think that something can have lasted a lifetime even if it was only a few days or weeks or years.
I believe that life is filled with lifetimes,
those times you will never forget whether they be good or bad,
I know that my life is filled with lifetimes, an though some of them are good and some of them are bad,
they are mine...
and they are me.
