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

Sandy

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
