Destiny...

Today, what a day

Today I filled my day

Dreams met daylight

And came to fruition

Fulfilled and thrilled

I was told I was ready

To dance for crowds

Moving for stars

Pouring heart into sweat

This song carried my body when I let go

And now it is mine to give back

To share the story

That nearly took me over

A transition into a new time

 Where the waters are full once again

I called you, my friend

After much time had passed

This whim from within acted out fast

Today your birthday

And just yesterday you mentioned me

Serendipity is meant to be

Us, such an unlikely match

It's simply destiny

You have always grounded roots to my tree

And then I met the past

As it was back when

Before the 100 years begin

My today held my past

My today called to then

Confusion creates my creation

And yet I have to bare it all

Is this the gift of the fall?

The Positive Cost of Being Lost...

The lie of how we told it

Running in circles

We don’t care

My mouth on the table

Opened up

Filling with words

Sights spun this tongue

Seductive colors

Suck me deep

Inside

I don’t remember when I don’t want to

I can know you when I need to

Don’t trust these eyes

They penetrate without offering hope

I want to win. Myself. And him.

Moving on to home

I’ll be back for me

Searching the lost land

For something new

You evolved, she said.

Which way do you want to find?

It’s not what you deserve

Change is the cost of misery

It can never not be

Falling under the spell

Looking lost

And saying yes

This doorway

Helps me let go

Just thought you should know

This is the morning tide

Taking my heart for a ride

Would it be wrong to disappoint you now?

You’ve never been told there is

A different way 

How many people believe their mind?

And how many people are blind?

Just remember to be kind.

Finally...

If we can remember that whatever it is 

we think we believe is just for now, 

then life becomes, once again,

the adventure that it's meant to be.

Finally open my arms wide
Finally I let you inside
Finally made it past the end
To finally begin

 

I'll be looking so far past the flashing lights

 

The hours we keep, the days we save
They add up to years, now face to face

Bay Day...

This space fills me with space

It is a safe place

Where you can soften

And your shoulders can fall

Into your smile

Say hi

And listen

People here are nice-

They are wise and warm

And I don't have to think twice-

I can trust

Happy New Year, he said

You felt that shutter in me as you walked by

And you made it ok 

Thank you day in the bay

Thank you red haired freckles

Your sweet words stung my eyes

Allowing tears to cry

In my rhythm...

~Happy 2012~

Welcome home San Francisco

I thought I lost you

Home is home.

Where it feels like home

Where the houses are colorful and the

Streets are bright

Toast to a new year

And the close of change

Only to welcome more

Returning back to you

You have been waiting

And me too

These streets hold my people

This is where I belong.

Green sunlight is warm

I can see differently

So quickly

Just because it used to be

It will still grow along side me

A toast to myself and the year past

But mostly to the adventures moving fast-

A look beyond from the last

I have learned to know

And feel where my roots have chosen to grow

To a new year

Of new

Really just a rearrange-

I am coming back

And I might look back

But I do not need to fear

My heart will steer

ice storms...

 Winter's heat

Biting ice storms

Gloom of the past

No burning back

Forward step

Turning wheels

And here we go

Go-

Welcome home.

Happy Holidays...

Laugh. Love. And be merry.

Growing into young...

Sit tight. Time flies.

Papa

You enjoy simplicity

In good company with a good drink

Roaming in nature

Space to be

But you are nothing short of great

Focused on the path ahead

You wander

With an outline

A mere plan

Always do your best

Life will take care

Of the rest

Growing up with you I thought you knew

Everything true

There to care

And always right

But you watched me grow

Offered me distance

To be

A little free

And pinched me

When I needed to see

Lessons learned

Life turns

Now I come to you

As my own person too-

And I see what you see for me

And I know what you hope for me

And I feel your support

     Next to me   

You built this family

With sweat and love

No one can ask for more

No one could need more

You offered me what I didn’t know I needed

What I only hoped to ever have

My mind is open because of the way you loved me

Anchor me...

 

In the parting of our ways

I miss you

Night calls

Reciting the day 

Hold me

Let me smile at you

Let us go about the day

Let us play

In rain

And watch the animals and babies

Where did you come from?

Will we stay?

Traveling for a time

Just to look back

Stranger, dear,

I've found my anchor in you

This story repeats from the beginning...

Home is a place for rest

For finding where you are

Which has left

Repeating back to the beginning

Finding your child

And asking where you have gone?

Everyone I have known

I lose track what they say

I am walking away

I think I know you

But when I ask how you know me

I realize how little

I am

And what few thoughts

I know

 I am mute 

Watch me drive these streets

Watch me

And take it in

And know this is what I am 

I feel the ground

In its sandy burn

Finding Mother nature

Take me along on this journey

You want for me what you don't want for me

And I know that

And I'm ok

And so are you

And I love you

Repeat...

Writing words please come to me

Please express with sincerity

Please share what I don't see yet

Repeating sounds whirl me into word winds

write write write write

And write

Nothing but empty...

Nothing to say today

Empty inside

But full of thoughts that hide

Yesterday the whirlwind of panic

And happy

Every time

Just like the last

Oh you

Oh us

Oh my

Oh these games

Of beliefs, of right, of timing, of light

Of it all that is just one

Little big moment
In this time we think passes

Us by

Oh my

Today is just going to pass

Let it

Move

Let us

Fall in and wrap up in it

In nothing but emptiness

Of this day

On the ship...

Family tree

Texture like sun

Lay me down

Searching for bones from the past

Two distant lands

Soul memories of how it used to be

Still between us

Look to the moon and fly to her

Luna, he calls her

Always glowing silently in the night

She smiles reflecting his light

Forever forward facing

She never turns her back

Just from this past

That never was

See me within
