How do you dance my love

your mighty arms swirling so free

knocking down those who try to stand

in the glorious force of your perfect surge

you have no mercy in your beautiful rage

yet I loved the taste you shared with me

my bed trembled under your fury

my heart raced as you came

and my tears cried

as I knew your hands work

undoing the craft of so much labor

just another day to you it seemed to some

though I know your secrets well enough

and no longer do I fear your rath

for your enchantment is the moment

you stand firm where I would like to live

and what looks like undoing is really

the beginning of something new

your plow rips through the soil

allowing seeds planted long ago to thrive

this apparent lose reminds us to forgive

and let go of our ephemeral illusions

embracing them in the present

but resenting not their eventual retreat

for you remind us they were never ours

and you help us enjoy the return

of what we took for granted

and cherish each moment's splendor

far deeper than eyes can see

for you open our heart

where true seeing begins

and you bring tenderness

as we embrace strangers as friends

Frozen Still In Time

Captured so frozen still in time

without losing momentum

blue door corridor beckons

alone on the sea of life

surrounded by animation in flight

a lovely extension of your eyes

paints a brush of pixels

soft or hard they spread and flow

smeared or focused just as they need to be

in that moment that hovers as you saw it

depending upon how the wind blew you there

and the shape of your heart's sail

and so I see that tranquility

shaped by an ocean of looming swells

secure in your insecurity

sure that your next footstep will follow

blissfully not knowing where it will lead

surrendering to the siren's call

unafraid of the myths of doom

stealing a glimpse of life in full and breathless

floating to the next point of unexpected vantage

and spreading a heart's enchantment with life

into the reach of those who cannot dream so well

and the arms of those who dare not embrace so deep

but I know now of a secret but unhidden glow

the light inside that overflows and illuminates

a warm hand that doesn't need touch to be felt

for it wraps around all those who can see

flowing like honey between the trees

lining the avenue of eternity

My dream for you

My dream for you

is to float here

between the reflections

gasping at the beauty

that always surrounds you

even though it may

escape your vision

And my hope remains

woven in the lips of creation

that flow intention sweetly into being

knowing how you shimmer

when only one is looking

hidden inside your treasure

removed from all eyes

only seen with the heart

This succulence that is you

makes a rainbow for someone's eye

standing above your self

seeing past that shallow horizon

and knowing where you begin

but wondering if it is true

So I wish a wish

to dream a dream

and find yourself floating there

darkness only as a frame

to see the light that is

you

In Morning by Day

In morning by day

the dawn walks forward to greet you

and upon thin ice you dare to tread

in no haste without worry

hesitating before you start perhaps

but not upon your sure way

even when your next turn is unknown

for you know the secret

that life has in store for you

as glorious as your own heart's beating

while meaning asks you to question

and you respond with a different path

walked one foot in front of the other

moment by moment as they come

not before and behind

centered there

not even wondering

if you will turn

or walk straight

but knowing the answer

before you have fathomed the question

pinching reality's cheek

and finding it plump and sweet

dreaming your world into being

with the gleam in your eye

and your smile that begs to kiss

a sweet greetings like the sun

to a new born world
