"Peace" of Thought

  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

  Friends She roams this front so gently Grace upon her face And sings of loving life Throughout all of time and space She speaks from words of wisdom Eyes sparkling with every sound And tells stories of her days gone by Wishes for the future and the present found She listens so intently Slight smiles as we talk And matches with my rhythm Together as we walk She catches all the nuances That mingle in the air And identifies with emotion That spills out everywhere She sheds tears of joys and sorrows Shares her feelings and her thoughts And keeps our every secret For now and what is sought She attends to every battle Celebrations and in the ends She always shares a giant hug Because we are the best of friends.

 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.

  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
