I have seen you
your love, honesty
and
virtue.
Knowing
that in-between
are the other things
that
no one wants to see
feel or do.
All
are what makes up
an individual
a life, a soul
and
you.
I have seen you
and
I hope you’ve
seen me
too.

Fulfil the heart
the soul
follow your dreams
to the end
of
the storied road.
Pause
let this journey sink in
soak your soul
in
the many varied stories
you’ll experience
be told.
Fill
your heart with love
let it be carried
forever
in your soul.

All I can know
You have given me.
Nothing is left
Out of my destiny.
No heart pumps
Without a soul,
No mind smiles
Unless they know.

My heart grows old
With stories that are told
Snuggled in a soul
That will never, ever
Grow old.

Deep in the rest of sleep tonight
My soul does dream so vividly
Life is full, time is dear
Honoured by those held so near.
I awaken rested, never knowing
Time has passed
Troubles solved and circumstance
Seems not to be the threat I feared
So horribly.
No one drew or threw a veil
Upon my sight
Just goodness does
And will prevail.
I slumber now in perfect rest
No concern, no distress
Awakening to light cascading down
Upon my life where goodness
Does and will abound.

When I felt your heart next to mine
When I saw my life and yours intertwined
My soul was full and so sublime
When I was yours and you were mine.

Fall has come, its presence felt
The lane is crowded with leaves that fell
Geese fly through coloured hills
Their honks ringing against clear, blue skys.
While squirrels cache seeds
Nuts and whatever they can fill
Holes hidden hopefully to remember
In the cold winter still.
Sorrow, anticipation crowd my mind
At the last of summer as it falls to winter
In midst of such beauty that sends
Chills to the soul and thrills the mind.

Let the heart beat lightly
Let the soul sound loud.
Let its words be heard
Way beyond distant clouds.
Let no man stumble
Nor woman harmed.
Let us all soar
Leading lives that seem charmed.

Deep in your soul
Deep in your heart
A thought stirs
Reaching up.
Change the world
Change what you receive
Change what you’ve got.
No heart weeps alone
No mind holds just one thought
Seek the friend that you had
Be alright with the differences
You’ve got.
Miracles don’t just happen
Or are tragedies sought
Do the best you can
Cause your heart and soul
Are all you’ve got.

There I stand
Soul, hat in hand
Searching, looking for the right way
The right stand.
Should I turn left
Or maybe right
Go forward or
Retreat into the dark of night?
No answer comes
No word spoken clear
Quiet, gentle silence moves me
Our bond unbroken here.
