Everyone's creative juices are flowing....

mine, too.

Dreams

Dreams are little adventures in the night
where we see things in a different light.
We battle foes we dare not face in the day
and created worlds in which we'd like to stay.
Seeds of change are harbored there -
speeches of equality and being treated fair.
Hopes for the future, glimpses of the past -
spinning and spiraling and falling fast.
First, falling into nothing, then waking with a jolt,
thankful that the morning came and put it to a halt.
We explore our inner selves in ways we can't express,
and expose things about ourselves we usually repress.
Dreams are small safari's for our minds,
where emotion is a lion that preys on all kinds.
Dreams carry messages that we try to relate,
to our lives, to our wishes, to each other and to fate.

Keep em' comin' people...

ok poconoproud! Here ya go


THE MUSIC IN HER LIFE


Thinking back on days gone by and remembering being there
Wide eyed and innocent a heart and soul laid bare

Believing the whole world laid in wait and smiling down on me
Empty heart waiting to be filled, running wild, running free

A young girl believes in white knights and all sorts of fairy tales
Against the light of trust in her heart even the full moon pales

She gives herself to the promise he’ll be there by her side
Having no idea she’s a casualty of a dark knight’s awful pride

She gives herself completely to the one she believes is true
Gives up her will to live without him and believes he loves her too

Worships him like a hero in the middle of a long dark night
And trusts in him completely lying there in the morning light

Cause it’s okay
Lying here today
Safe and warm, living in a dream
He is the music in her life

Being swept away
When she hears him say
He’ll hold her close and love her forever,
He’s making music in her life

A band of gold circles her heart like a blanket on a winter day
When he comes home the sight of him still takes her breath away

The look in her eyes is lost on him as he’s headed for the yard
He can’t tell how much she hurts and still she tries so hard

He sometimes stays out way too long and leaves her there to cry
Her white knight’s chasing maidens on the back of a dragonfly

The band of gold tightens around her heart as he’s packing up to leave
Taking away her everything, all he’d led her to believe

A young girl believes in white knights and all sorts of fairy tales
Against the light of trust in her heart even the full moon pales

She gives herself completely to the one she believes is true
Gives up her will to live without him and believes he loves her too



But she fades away
Lying here today
Swept away like cobwebs on the floor
As he takes the music from her life

And she feels a cold
From her band of gold
As he drives away, she starts to cry
Losing the music in her life

As years go by she can’t look back without aching so it seems
For white knights and fairy tales and believing in foolish dreams

For that ever after faith in her heart she thought would always last
The innocence and wonder that kept her going in the past

Sad to think this is all there is as she stumbles through each day
But somewhere deep inside her heart she believes that there’s a way

Then in one day, a champion rides, on a beat up iron horse
Says please forgive me my lady, I seem to be off course

But I would like to stay with you and fight the demons in you life
For I would be a happy man if you would be my wife

Now she believes in white knights and fairy tales once more
Cause he treats her like his lady and he knows what love is for

Cause it’s okay
Lying here today
Safe and warm, living in a dream
He is the music in her life

Being swept away
When she hears him say
He’ll hold her close and love her forever,
Bringing back the music to her life

Since it is my daughter's birthday, I'm going to post a poem I wrote for her.

There's a little bit of me, in you ~
I can see it in your eyes ~ so blue.
You prove it with the things you do,
and show it with your heart ~ so true.

There is a little bit of you, in me ~
A child's spirit ~ able to be free.
It's like recapturing my youth,
but stepping back to see.

As you grow, you'll be questioning why ~
life goes by in the blink of an aye.
You'll have children of your own,
that you won't believe are almost grown ~
But give one thing a try ~
Look in your child's eyes ~ so blue,
and see your loving heart ~ so true...

for Abby, my reflection

Anytime poconoproud. I enjoy reading them. Here's a brand new one I just wrote this morning after finishing cleaning my new home in Tennesee. I was taking a break and sitting on my one piece of furniture in the living room and looking out of my sliding glass door across the patio at the Magnolia tree outside and feeling a peace I haven't known for a long, long time.

TEA AND MAGNOLIAS

There’s a Magnolia tree outside my window pane
It always brings me comfort, even in the rain
Green grass growing just beyond my patio
New Country music playing on my radio

Sitting on my couch, on Sunday afternoon
Wondering if the suns gonna come out soon
Feeling peace under a Tennessee Sky
Sipping Sweet Tea and watching leaves blow by

Thinking about the new friends who lent a hand
Showing genuine kindness I cannot understand
Makes me feel humble and so glad I’m here
Knowing I am home, I’ve lost my fear

Looking around, some old, some new, somehow
Some present, some past merged into my now
A brand new beginning, I turn another page
Enter another reality, another age

In search of my own illusive contentment
New life without regret or resentment
A totally new plane of my existence
Along the road of most resistance

Growing stronger with the examination
Of my very own life’s explanation
Learning the person I wish to be
Understanding the meaning of me

No longer restless and disconnected
Doing just whatever is expected
Life with a purpose and peace of mind
Consciousness of a different kind

Sunday afternoon in my home in Tennessee
Knowing this is where I’m supposed to be
There’s a Magnolia tree outside my window pane
It always brings me comfort, even in the rain
