​Ladybug: Small and beautiful, wild and free, so tiny yet enduring you fascinate me. Spotted black and red or black and white, you appear out of nowhere to brighten my night. And I wonder if that is just nature's way, to get our attention off ourselves and on to the new day. 

 

​Let Your River Flow: The river flows to the ocean, releasing in me the freedom to love like never before. Beckoning me, to immerse myself in rays of light that pierce the dark waters below, and wooing me to let passion grow. The river flows with beauty and charm, removing the dullness of vision and adding length to years. Bringing forth a new tributary, it draws me near, similar and at the same time all its own. 

 

Lighthouses in the Storm: Loves union grows strong, black orchids bloom deep in the night. Two light beams touch and become one. My heart is full of mystery, yet I know we have just begun. Captivated by the beauty reflected in your eyes, life has become a refuge and a lighthouse without ties.

Listen: Can you hear my heart? Listen in the stillness and see. Can you hear the wind? Listen to the moor and find the key. Can you hear the whip-poor-will? Listen and let it be. Can you hear the waves crash on the shore? Listen and allow your spirit to soar. Can you hear the rise of the new moon? Listen, it is there and only there where you will see all things become clear, and true happiness runs free.
​
Love Notes: Thoughts of you have colored my day, wondering if you are okay. I tried to call and could not get through, which left me restless and without a clue. As to why I should be concerned, so I have been trying to discern if you need a note from a special friend or just a prayer to help you mend. So I'm asking my father to lend an ear until these thoughts fade away, and I know in my heart that you're okay.
​
Me do it -You do it: Just as roots anchor a tree, wings balance a butterfly, I need your love moving toward me. Just as the sun warms the face and rain can cleanse the air, I need to know you're there. Just laughter lessens the load. I need to keep from growing cold.

 

Mirages and Miracles: A stepping stone went missing today and it scares me that it's gone. I was used to its connection and I am unsure why it has withdrawn. I see it as a missing piece and suddenly life seems without direction. And yet, if I can let go of what was and have the courage to explore, I may find a new stepping stone, right in front of me, that leads to an open door

​​

Moonshine and Daydreams: rainbows delight, sandcastles wash away, forests hide mysteries, loves kisses inspire, hands hold the heart, losses fade, treasures revealed, years pass and spirits rise, friends meet, love is alive, and then.

​

Moving Day: So much change going down seems like life has become all turned around. My job, 
my friends, my looks, my family, and a half dozen books. So much to think about, so much to do, I wanted this to be a time to renew. So much emotion my heads a spin, how I long to skip through this and know who wins. So much on my mind, it is too much, so dad, you are up to bat.​​​
