Gift of Love Unaware you came… and my life is forever changed…..
And into the night, with seagulls rested for flight anew the next day,
The two met and talked
A thousand months, a thousand years.
It really didn't matter
For they were blind to time and it's throttle on them
When I touch the stars in my dreams, I forget that you are so much closer.
When I awake and see you next to me, I realize I already touched a star.
When a man and woman truly love each other,
not even the most tumultuous event can separate them emotionally.
Not anything.
In touching you, I will touch the sky
If just for a blink of the eye
In holding you, the world will seem
Such a wonderful place full of dreams
In waking with you, I will surely know
How such feelings can magically grow.
When the right hands from the right man and right woman touch each other,
it's as if they had been a part of one another for oh so very long.
Even though at times they may let go, the clasp is more so from within their hearts anyway, so they never really let go.
And when the midnight winds give way to early morning dreams, there you shall be found.
To dance with you would be to touch the sky,
to kiss you would be to see the sun set, to lay with you would be to see the earth born.
Have you ever wondered what it is that makes my heart jump?
Could it be that it is not jumping; rather, it is reaching....for you perhaps?
And in the morning, as their eyes met, their hearts were as one.
When the day comes when my body is weak and twisted from age,
I will look back and remember, with a smile, maybe a tear, and perhaps my last breath....
Perhaps the greatest perfume of all is the scent of your smile. :)
The warmth of the night is surpassed only by the warmth within you.
Remember Today
Sometimes we tend to forget,
You have a purpose that is all your own,
No one else is you.
You have dreams and hopes and desires,
Listen to your heart for a while.
Remember today all the blessings you have,
There's beauty in every direction you look.
Enjoy the abundance that is already yours,
The world is a wonderful place and you're here.
Remember today that you get what you give,
Your world is a mirror of your inner self.
Love will be yours when you give it away.
Remember today that life is creation.
As long as you live, you can always contribute
your own special voice.
Remember today is a special time,
Make the best of it while you can.
You are Worthy
Do not undermine your worth
by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different
that each of us is special.
Do not set your goals
by what other people deem important.
Only you know
what is best for you.
Do not take for granted
the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life,
for without them,
life is meaningless.
Do not let your life
slip through your fingers
by living in the past
nor for the future.
By living your life one day at a time,
you live all the days of your life.
Do not give up
when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over
until the moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread
that binds us to each other.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances
that we learn how to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life
by saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love
is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love
is too hold it too tightly;
In addition,
the best way to keep love
is to give it wings.
Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams
is to be without hope;
To be without hope
is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life
so fast that you forget
not only where you have been,
but also where you are going.
Life is not a race,
but a journey
to be savored
each step of the way.
THINGS I LOVE
Strawberries, wet with morning dew
Wind chimes tinkling in the breeze
Cool sheets on a Summer night
Raindrops dancing in the sun
Passion in the eyes of my beloved.
Words that drip like honey from my tongue
Children's' laughter drifting up from the playground
Cool water on a hot afternoon
A baby's sweet warm innocence
Saltiness on sun warmed skin.
Butterflies in rainbow fields
The open road rushing beneath my wheels
Haunting fragrance of Lilacs drifting through an open window
Summer sweet taste of peaches
Soft spent breathing against my cheek.
Church bells on a Sunday morning
Rainbows through a storm drenched haze
Earth warming in the noonday sun
Singing lullabies to my babies
Warm flesh yielding beneath cool fingertips.
Sunshine peeking through the clouds
A soft guitar in the evening twilight
The heady scent of musk on passion warmed flesh
Solid earth after being blown will-nilly
A lingering whiff of Old Spice... that lets me know you are near.
These are the things I love.
