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

One Thought Away

  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

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.
