Thoughts move through
to accomplish their mission

Doubt fills the spaces
and kinks communication

Layers of fibre
spread the thoughts flat

Voices are heard
and understood

I warned you this was just going to get weird.

Setting sights on destiny
leaving the past behind
finding solace in the mysterious
passionate embrace

Seeking upward forces
magic creates song
rumbling ’round the playground
finding rythmnic meter

Falling for the power
inspired by the voice
listening without talking
hearing more than words

Sinking into sunshine
Sinking into warmth
Watching children play
Listening to their voice

Filling time with joy
Filling time with fun
Seeing all there is to life
Not wondering when

Sitting in the moment
Sitting in the breath
Jumping for the laughter
Landing in the truth

Down for the count
leaning on a tree
tearing off the speckled bark
oblivious, the tree is me

Searching for the number
shaking at the call
pounding hearts in rhythm
hearts set to fall

Peeking out the window
wondering if it’s true
watching for some movement
hoping that it’s you

When I think of you
it always starts out warm
then fear swirls all around me
and love can’t fight the storm

When I think of you
your tender warm embrace
I’m lost in this fantasy
that love will find its place

But the nights are long
and the day brings light
and the hope inside
makes it all seem right

When I think of you
your eyes are someplace near
I see your soul escaping
with love so true and clear

When I reach for you
you’re a million miles away
I’m using all my wishes
just to hear you say

You care about me.

But I won’t fall
won’t crawl back to the start
I’m safe and I’m a mountain
even when we are apart.

Heading into tomorrow
chasing the past away
bringing soft and comfort
and dreams from yesterday

Sharing time and fun
yet knowing the edge is near
feeling for the rail
to keep the moment here

Wishing for a point
to look out, over and through
finding some relief
with gentle thoughts of you

Missing you
Missing your closeness
Missing your comfort

Sensing you
Sensing your anquish
Sensing your pain

Wishing for you
Wishing for your happiness
Wishing for your escape

Feeling lost, out of the loop
not knowing the answers
eyes are a blur
memories breathe

Sugar coat the obvious
and swallow the truth
pull out reserve hope
to snuggle the pain

Laugh at yourself for waiting
laugh at yourself for wanting
cry to no one
swallow slithers of tears

Sitting waiting for word
a new string of text that brings news, any news

Prospecting the milk trail for new meaning, new depth.
Thinking, hoping, praying and hoping, more hoping

Grasping the gravity.
Exhilarated by the gold rush.
Amazed by the human body.
In awe of the strength
In awe of the mama. 
Redefining love.

Falling into yesterday
and living there a while
reaching out to no one
to find a steady hold

Taking off the top
and pealing back the layers
finding peace and comfort
and space amid the knots

Cleansing old habituals
and drowning them in fire
finding light and hope
larger than despair
