By the Fire

Hush! My heart,
Don’t beat so fast.
The adventure’s just begun.
There’s surely one that’ll last.
One day, one evening,
One night will be glorious.
But, that’s just a beginning.
You have peaks to scale,
Flowers to pick, on the way.
Make your songs,
Gather your stories;
Enough to sit,
Around a fire;
With a smile,
Share it with the one.
Hush! My heart,
Don’t beat so fast.
Not yet… not yet,
I’ll tell you,
When it’s time!

Starlight (3)

The moonbeam is elusive,
Another star nears me.
My hand extends;
A familiar feeling,
Close my eyes…
Once again give in.
He whispers,
Through my hand,
“I’m here to stay,
A little while.”
I smile,
My strength is back,
For another mile.
Ah… for a moonbeam next time!
I start to walk again.

Learning to Dance

Singing silent songs,
Dancing unseen dances.
Miss a beat,
Change the rhythm.

Ears perk up,
Eyes stare;
Hush your songs,
Cover your steps,
...a bit more.

Living

She stood there,
The lone flower;
Her beauty blinding,
Blushing,
Everytime his rays
Touched her.

Sudden darkness,
Engulfed her.
She stretched,
Muscles strained,
Pushed through;
The darkness left behind.

Her sun was there,
Beckoning her.
She stretched some more,
And blushed again.
She looked behind,
At the darkness left.
“I’m still rooted
In you,” She said,
“This I won’t forget!”
But, to him, I’ll stretch…
Everytime.

Starlight (2)

The starlight singes,
Burns through my hand;
A glow, an ember fire,
Engulfs;

My hand reaches out,
Touches her face,
Pats her to sleep.

My hand reaches out,
Picks her,
Puts her on my shoulders;
Strong enough,
To carry her,
Another mile, with a smile.

Looking for,
A moonbeam next time…
