Alison

i fell so deeply in love with you that when you stopped talking i began to listen….i finally heard what you were saying and i realized you were the one…but sometimes the moment isn’t right and the love that was so strong can be fooled by the lessons yet to learn…the heart will hurt…and in that time of knowing, you come into my mind and i wonder how you are, i’m not blind and i don’t really think we could find the time again to see where we could grow….i know, i know…i know…if you ever need someone i’m here for you…if you ever want to talk just call me and ill pick up the phone…i’m great alone but you were the one who got away, and i measure everyone by how you made me feel so loved and cared for and i adore you….i always will

i wrap myself in a river flowing, always knowing, never showing fear, riding it like a wave onto the shore, running headlong into it and seeing through it i surf on the waves and roll with the tide and am one with the river that flows with the ocean that rolls and crashes to the shore then backs into itself or stays upon the sands of timelessness…

thinking about the rain as i listen to it falling, a very rare event in southern california….been over 6 months now and then there is this deluge so we prepare for flooding and winds and backed up traffic…and the clearing of the dust and grit and grime…and the channeling of the wonderful energy it brings…and we celebrate and we calibrate and we masturbate to it’s rhythm…and we sense something deeper than the obvious significance of the event

embrace all of the things you are apt to let go of now, keep all of the love you feel close and walk with a confident step…those of you who may need some time, take it, others, follow your heart now, be afraid but continue, because this is your finest hour and every moment like this will be so…the most awesome time of your life

fusions

it used to be so expected, the winter, giving so much snow, blizzards, winds and ice… i’m looking for someone who can make a bad day great, is trustworthy, funny, kind, honest, sincere and loyal…that summer was going to be easy but the real piece of work turned out to be spring and fall

instruments of peace

a man who truly lived
from deep within
changed the world
by simply being him
as he now rests in peace
let us be peace builders
let his words and deeds
stay familiar
let’s not lose sight
of what we’ve witnessed
let’s carry on with love
compassion and forgiveness

right now you’re sleeping
will you dream of me
in the silence of your evening
its with clarity you see
in my morning hours
i feel your essence breathe
two crystal pillars
giving birth to higher energy
i only know this moment
as i step into the next
a sense of utter timelessness
as we continue to connect
you are familiar and i know you
as well as i’ve come to know my Self
mirrors reflect the truth
of our deep and spiritual wells
no boundaries stand between us
as our shared journey unfolds
with a deep sense of trust
our souls guide us as we go
the dance of eternal flames
as twin flames come and go
if this is who we are
our hearts will simply know

my heart beats in sync with the rhythm of a steady rain…my inner compass set not at true north, but simply the truth…the earth and the stars, the tide and the seasons are my guide…the inherent instincts of all beings, my companion…

through the mirror

looking through the mirror
through the eyes looking back at me
into the clarity
beyond the surface
beyond all but reality
i saw
all that i’ve ever known
all that i’ve ever feared
was nothing more
than a thought
i nurtured
all that i’ve ever felt
all that i’ve been dealt
was nothing short
of life’s
karmic lessons learned
i woke up
and i looked in
i felt my heart respond
and my soul smile again
i let go
and i watched the world i used to know
fall away
i began the rest of my life
today

new ground

i find you beautiful and kind

im not sure where we’ll be

but right now is just fine

you give me that one thing

we all long to feel inside

that sort of tingling

not easy to define

and if you let me, i will love you

and if i let you

you will love me

that’s the thing about something new

no commitment, just a feeling

with a knowing root

seeds planted, taken care of

come together and grow fruit

and with each year, new beginnings

intricate

delicate

strong

defying time and all its sadness

bringing forth a brand new gladness

love

simply love

can make this sew

as you and i

choose to make it grow
