Poetry originally published in May 2006:
Alive in the Mystery
Sunshine melts
Away the expanse
Of this lazy
Winter day
Smiling at the
Memory of
A mountain sheathed
In cold ivory
Gliding by as the lift
Guided us to our
Anxious destination
Where the world
Unfolded beneath our feet
And I think I couldve
Laid there in that
Powdered ice forever
If I knew that youd be near
As long
And it wasnt daylight
That shone so bright
But your smile
And your laughter
That ignited the night
So whats the story
Morning glory?
Can you tell me
What your heart knows?
A new season
Begins in bloom
Filling the space between us
And what will this garden grow?
The slowly rising tide
Of this affection carries us aloft
In a mystery Im enjoying
With a hope
That you feel the same
It Starts With A Flicker
Sometimes I wonder
What you must be thinking
When someone elses world
Is caving in around them
Youre always the first one to listen
The one they run to when they
Just cant seem to work it out
And I know you wish that you could fix
Every heartache they face
But the grace you live is something
They need more than another band-aid solution
And this is how it begins
The path that has been chosen
Your love displayed is the spark in the darkness
Its in their eyes when they hear your counsel
The hope that starts with a flicker
Like a fresh lit candle flame fighting
Against the incoming winter breeze
So I wonder what thoughts
Run through your mind
For the thousandth time
When the heartache
Makes a repeat offense
And I smile
Knowing that your arms are open
In a comforting embrace
If it ever seemed like it went unnoticed
Like being the first one to listen
Last one to be heard
Know that you make a difference
Be it one life or a thousand
It starts with a flicker
One bright spot to start a flame
Genesis Daydream
I wandered in a daydream
And wondered at a field
Of fresh spring flowers
Waiting to emerge from
Winter's snowy grip
Just a dream and yet
I found myself entranced
Holding my breath as the first slivers
Of sunlight shattered
The cold darkness covering
This valley
Slowly, as the fiery orb
Rose higher in the morning sky,
Every flower yawned and swayed
Petals unfolding
Revealing natures true beauty
Kept hidden til the promised
Season emerged
I smiled as the dream faded
And thought how similar
We can be
Our souls waiting to display
The true mystery
And love like light
Beckons us to unveil
Our own glory
And so it seems that Im
Like Adam in slumber
Dreaming of Eve
Knowing my friend
The Creator
Has fashioned someone
Just for me
