Weather

I see the sunshine but it's so far off,
The rain here smatters my face.
I see the sun rays behind dark clouds,
Surreal- like I'm in a strange place.

I have the light; family and friends-
My health and my children too...
Oh I have darkness- and it pours down,
The rain of what makes me blue.

I feel the rain on my hair and skin,
And I know that I'm alive,
The sun is bigger than all the clouds,
This is the lesson I derive:

When sun and rain combine
and the wind begins to blow-
Look around and search for beauty-
Seek and find the rainbow.

Timing

I still remember that kiss on my lips,

I can still smell your cologne and skin.

You arms held me in a gentle grip...

Is the timing right? Has it ever been?



A refreshing light shone on your face,

Mmm caught my eye like never before-

And I wondered as I sat in my place

How much you and I might explore...



Or if it's too late; if that spark is gone,

My secret revealed- it was always there

But maybe we aren't meant to belong...

Has all we've been through led us here?



Will your heart be forever set on her?

If so, respectfully I wish you the best!

I'll still admire you as a friend for sure.

And always hope you two are blessed...

I know the danger in playing with fire,

You’ve always been fasinating to me.

I’ve been addicted to you in the past,

I convinced myself that I was free…

I enjoyed being captive and sometimes dream,

That things may have gone differently

Still the memories I have are treasures,

Kept only for us- kept hidden within me.

I buried the fire, and thought it was out,

As I tranced into the forest to explore,

Little did I know, that there stayed a glow

And a spark flew up and surprised me…

That’s all.

This Moment

Can't live in the past, no bell can be unrung.
No more thinking on what can't be undone.

Spent too much energy on hopes for the future.
An epiphony hits me as I develop and mature.

Time is life's bank account, each moment- currency
We determine how we spend- if we're poor or wealthy.

I choose to live the present, before the moment is gone.
I'll spend wisely and live in the now- it's where I belong.
