Her black hair pulled back loosely,
flowing like a long shiny crimped mane,
with a few strands all about her withdrawn face.
My God, please take care of this teenager...
...

Lord, I don't know
what to say...
what to do...
or what to pray.
...

Rolling blades of grass play in the meadows green,
as bird songs whisper my name in the trees...
the breeze circles me enfolding me in its tune,
a serenade that happens on beautiful days in June.

October 2005

When life is no fun,
when the pain follows you,
...

Have you seen a weeping willow
whose leaves are still, quiet and at peace?
A palm along a lonely shore
that moves not...there's no breeze.
...

Let me Love you as the night loves the stars
that illuminate way off in a distance on dark nights.
Let me Love you with my thoughts as I wake on a cloud
from a quiet lonely sleep perfumed with times spent
...

On a lazy Sunday afternoon,
the sun shone so brightly...
appearing like a large blazing
iridescent quarter.
...

First, i wish to Thank you
for sharing your heart
and a small part of yourself,
your secrets and pain
...

Lord, Can you lift up the fog while I pray to you?
For there is so many things I wish to say to you.

I am lost and I need you to come to Your knees,
...

' I Regret the words I said to you,
the way I acted has made me blue.
When you saw me out that day
know I looked different-
...

Always stand up tall.
Wipe away all tears.
Close the book on your fears.
Hold all Life and loved ones Dear.
...

If everything is All Good,
All of the Time.
Then we will not
appreciate everyday...and,

My whispering heart still crys for you..
It may be with regret and pain
that I will think of you again today

Your embrace was not familiar,
yet I comfort you in my arms,
as I am gazing at your picture,
I still feel the magic of your charm.

I know now, how it can be,
that even before death,
the soul can soar free.
Free, like the wind,
...

Time flies with the wings of white
very weightless light feathers.
They surround us and cool us at times
all while flapping furiously to

Lets go sailing, on a sea of dreams,
captivate all the senses...completely.
Complete the dream, the waves whisper.
Finish the rowing into shore...or sink
...

Here I am again,
staring into the willows,
wishing I were like a tree.
A light breeze would blow
...

I am truly sorry...
for the hurt I bring to you.
For I know that when you're happy
one look at me and your blue too.
...

Its Goodbye for awhile,
...but not forever my friends.
I will still think of you...and
one day we'll start again.
