I am not enough
there is too much need out there
stretched transparent





now still your mind, and
stop...hold me...gather me up
pieces make the whole

a wonderful thing
water flows in the desert
dreams in a mirage

left without fear, and
stripped of all expectations
we vibrate through air

I am but pale foam
reflecting on the surface
dark ocean of night
.
.
.
looking up to see
life's slow celestial dance
constellations form
.
.
.
and I fall deeper
cool water slides over warm skin
stars rise from my wake

I cannot hold back
sparks dance up and down my spine
words evaporate

behind my eyelids
night settles in cool dark waves
stars shine in the depths

slide over my tongue
a gaze that tastes like honey
spilling on my skin

on being myself...
I am not responsible
for your point of view

....................................................................................
there is much thought and searching behind this one
an ongoing realization...an ongoing acceptance
hard to write for the very reason it was written

a definite 'word' theme lately it seems
what is said and what is left unsaid
when they seem so unnecessary
which is more often than not
...how they look even
I am fascinated
by all of this
question

observe
explore
search
listen
share
trust

fumbling for words
my mind as clear as water!
I wait for the waves

settling slowly
the air thick with muffled heat
life in slow motion

I fell in your eyes
as I was looking for words
you softly smiled

oh, what it could be
I slowly burn with restraint
and the moments pass


filling still places
twilight settles between us
words follow the sun

.............................................
there is a beauty in stillness
and in the unattainable
to recognize life
while sharing
your soul
without
words

quiet, so quiet
the sound of life expanding
clarity in pain
............................................
just growing pains
and I welcome it, for
there is no passion without pain
passion for life, people, music, art
seeing, accepting, learning
this makes me
who I am

I am

I am

walking in the night
all boundaries disappear
thoughts are limitless




stretching and reaching
so small, yet so infinite!
my feet leave the groud

whispering softly
dreams melt into cool shadows
the sun on my tongue

only air between
just enough for the silence
voices and my skin

I wait for release
to find rest in cool shadows
sifting through sunlight
............................................
the sun and blue sky
there is no escape from it
not surprising here in the desert
though lately, it seems, I have been
frozen by sunlight

a sharp blue sky and
red sunlight through my eyelids
quiet afternoon

on tips of branches
the last minutes of the day
caught in gold sunlight

the world gets smaller
our lives woven together
with each written word
.......................................................................

Not ready to stop writing here yet obviously.
And I am tempted to explain a little the last post...
but I will not try, except to say
the blog is cumulative.
Exploration.
