Musings


Would you wonder
where the jasmine had been
if you caught her
gentle scent on the wind?

Could you catch
handfuls of Autumn leaves
tumbling ,turning, gently
floating on a wish?

Should clouds fall
would they hide falling tears
as dreams lingered
in kaleidoscope chaos?

When the moon
casts shadows across her name
will sunlight bring hope
for a new tomorrow?

Do you seek
my brilliant colors?
Might I hear
your guiding voice?

Will we ever truly
know each other?
Dare we even dream
that we had a choice?



This piece was a collaboration with a truly wonderful person and amazing writer, who just happens to be a dear friend as well.
Thank you so much Isobelle.

Stars and Crickets



Fighting with the memories
living in the past
All the things I hoped to be
swept away so fast

Sitting in the cool night air
relaxing in the breeze
alone upon the fresh cut grass
beneath a somber tree

Lift a flower to the wind
one petal at a time
dealing with the mystery
why love can be so blind

So many stars and crickets
singing out to me
one sings songs of wisdom
the other, possibility

Time to lead the evil glow
away from this poor heart
be the man I used to know
before it fell apart

I'm done with the whispers
that tell me I am through
Forever I will miss her
sometimes, she'll miss me too

Today can't be forever
tomorrow will end soon
I won't be trapped in misery
I've way too much to do

So many stars and crickets
singing out to me
one sings songs of wisdom
the other, possibility
