In This Moment

In this moment

a river flows within me

and I am that river too with you

lost we are when time counts our way

for the hurried tick tock never stops to breath

but I choose a different path where you stand too

there I find that place where dreams join real adventure

illusory as ever shining bare chested in the warm rain

dressed in sails that blow away our earthly bounds

I look down at the canyons we have carved

and there I see your face reflected

wholesome and sun flowered

married to the wind

enchanted

loved

and

because

you never ask

I will tell you my love

though again you may not hear

how the tides have washed nothing away

what truly is true cannot be changed

for my wide open heart has learned

the meaning of your footsteps

that are welcome here

inside your home

where I love

essential

sweet

you

Just A Morning

No ax to grind or point to prove

just a morning of friends greeting sweetly

noone standing higher than the next

the big questions remain answered

even if out of reach they hover near

for when hearts beat as sweetly as this

there is hope so bright in each new moment

where we are trying to stand together

and in only trying we succeed

as we weave a new world

with our intertwined hearts

from the ashes of yesterday's fallen dreams

and the dreams of tomorrow's glorious surprises

New

New in the sun I feel today glowing
the blue sky only hints with a sigh
no rain tears cried at last night's passing
new memories of yesterday hidden away
whilst I slept in my lovers arms
making a soft treasure to find 
long after this moment has been forgotten
a surprise to be born again when the time is right
today I find my pathway cleared by dawn's breeze
my footsteps can be planted again for the first time
and I think of you my echoed reflections so sweetly
wondering how many splendors you'll bring
into this new day that greets me as you smile

Helmsman

Cast your eye sweetly on the place you now stand

See the blades of grass in the moment you are there

as they announce with expectations of wonder

dancing in praise of the coming dawn

And you too have that charm like the wind before dawn

joyful at what may come without knowing just when

content to fly in your streaming blissful fancy

imagining tomorrow in your dreams to come true

Always now you can say is the place you must be

and in that you are right come what may you can choose

to pretend as a leaf on the river to be

disavowing your role as the river that's you too

Or the helmsman you are and truly must be

can look right or look left as he chooses to see
as he dreams up tomorrow as a wonderfilled stew

while watching each moment to see it come true

Hidden Treasure

The morning sun caught me sleeping

dreaming that I found hidden treasure

forgotten in places unknown until remembered

that's when your face appeared in my day

and in that simply blessing of thinking of you

I found a whole world of uncharted wonder

and my day became as bright as the sun

filtered through a cool bank of clouds

and heard in the laughter of children

the children we are all in our hearts
