Flourishing
Open space growing
Cut down
New life showing
Forgive oneself
For not knowing

Flourishing
Open space growing
Cut down
New life showing
Forgive oneself
For not knowing

There you are again
In front of me
Realise how real you are
Not a figment of wild
Imagination
In few sweet hours
I am left with
Nothing but an image
In my mind
How sweet grapes
Turn into wine
Over years maturing
Once tasted we are left
With nothing but
A feeling

When wedged in the cleft of a cliff
Gives shelter from relentless
Beating rain and wind
Storms outside and within
Cool cave a respite
Shade from scorching rays
Love for another lights
A campfire inside
Keeps you warm all night
Gives you strength to rise
To stoke its smoky coals
To nourish body and soul
Sometimes loving you
Is the same as loving me too.

Taking turns talking
Round tables
Regardless of
Where or with whom
My mind turns to you
Peel back layers
Time together immortal
All the words spoken
All the words unspoken
I shake it off
As love's loss

What would one say
To knowing
The sweet cavalcade
Dancing in dreamtime
Where rainbow glitter
Unicorns and faeries
Parade then sleep tenderly
Among the daisies
Where folk from far away
Mingle peacefully
Sharing all their wares
Speaking freely
One another's tongue
The place where I
Hold you in my arms

I will stand alone
Surrounded by earthen
Treasures unknown
Consider the ways
A seed is sown
A nod, a smile
An act of kindness
Urban wilderness
More extraordinary
By chance encounters
Of my own kind

I have a special smile
Reserved for the few
Those who know me well
Know I'm thinking 'bout you

So persuaded by
Her will, was I
As she left me
So did I.
Willing her
To return
To fill
The void while
Learning to love
All the space
Galaxies inside.
To explore
Edge of unknown
Resides within
The words
'I will...'
