For Makenna





 For Makenna

She speaks with imagination
With what's real and what is not
Her voice with planned intention
Craving answers to her thoughts

She sings familiar songs
She listens every day
For new tunes and the melodies
And lives them some may say

She dances in the evenings
She lingers as they loom
And imaginative cheering crowds
Charmed from her living room

She questions information 
From radio and TV
She shares from each connection
And keeps what she can see

She loves with abundant passion
From deep within her soul
And sometimes steers a sadness
That soundly takes a toll

But she says:
Live, love laugh; Don't be a liar
Just be yourself, a bird on a wire
No need to conform, stay and admire
For normal is just a setting on a dryer.

  One Thought Away One thought away from loving you It's always fresh, it's always new I want to share, you have no clue That I'm One thought away from loving you She lingers in the other room And listens to her favourite tune Please sit a while we'll be there soon We'll fall in love, under nights new moon We'll walk along, our hands clasped tight Down loves slow lane, throughout the night Our breathing deep, no end in sight With stars upon us, shining bright My gaze is deep, her sky blue eyes She looks I wait my thoughts surprise As we draw closer, our heartbeats rise We'll stay forever, or until sunrise She delights and dances as I walk by Her soft skin glowing, in the morning sky We'll love in laughter and sometimes cry In a field of flowers we shall lie And throughout the forests and in the town We'll call on spirits, won't make a sound She'll bring her heart, from what she's found And spread it like honey all around

Overcome

  Overcome   I take a sip, it’s smooth, it’s warm Then the window steals my thoughts Completely lost in the wretched storm The songbirds have been caught   Though not surprised, my cup in hand Shaking like torrential breeze Like strokes of lightening upon the land Illuminating ease   I spill a little, stain my sleeve of white Burning thoughts into my skin The sun no longer, clouds dark as night The rain begins to win   I close my eyes, to ten, inhale Then presence takes its place The air smells sweet, no longer stale Calm thoughts in my headspace   The heavy rain like music sings I sit back now mollified The storms exist as little things Answers come from deep inside   And so, I drink my cup of tea Songbirds are now released Each moment like leaves upon a tree Blusterous, and then find peace
