Though perilous labour Sucks wind out of wings Daily we break out Of old habits Singing sweetly harmony With breeze stinging Lips and cheeks Faint glow inspires Smiles and images Of edge of tomorrow Landscapes cascading Over cliffs Considering how to Sound and look best Humming along with you Always return home To rest
Silvery white and grey Blanket of down Above me Puffs of cloud Stationary Not looming Cocooning City scurrying Beneath Time lapse Of tears shed By morning Endless spiral Upwards Of anticipation Elation and goodbye Suddenly falling Into realisation The sky of mind Turns gray Shades of it Dark yet illuminating A serene delight Slow moving picture Time lapse photography Of memories Captured for only A moment Every time You walk away
Some one who Held trust could Hold space Some one who Cared less could Be silent Many words could Shed light In the darkness Seeking acceptance Darkness is only Absence Without these words My love is silent Empty, without substance Without your presence In my world There is nothing left But word filled space On empty page A solo act No accolades Another day Of waking thoughts Wandering lost No tune with yours
If one can find the doorway That leads into the zone Where friendships rise Past loves hide No one's on their own Invite as many people In your life As it could hold Keep the journey secret Don't tell them where it goes In a quiet corner there I'll watch the spectacle With joy and jubilation To bring life into my home
We keep turning up Speaking out Toning down Turning round Taking in Pulling through Carrying on Easing to Holding over Standing under Side by side Nowhere else But here That really matters
Shedding skin Reluctantly Knowing it will never Fit me again Revealing tender Glistening within Looking at a part of me Not discarded Treasured outlived My happy place My mind returns When it protected me From falls from grace
Count the stars of heaven
