Sailing or Floating Along

I so long to find my way to the open waters
to be on a boat, floating or sailing along
enjoying Nature's gift
of the beautiful, warm kiss of the sun--


But for this dream, this hope of mine
to come true--to fully grasp the joy
that it would bring to this heart of mine
I would need, want and desire
someone along for the ride
to share, to experience to see
just how lovely it is
to be sailing or floating along
with me...


Just a dream, I know
but even the smallest of dreams
have the chance to come
so completely true.


I will Believe.
Will you?

Reflections

I look out my window at the end of my busy day
and I see the sunset reflecting back at me--
(Just one of nature's gifts)
Perhaps the universe senses
my extreme fatigue
and found a way
to show me
once again
her marvelous display
of splendor
as the sun retreats
to find it's way
to the morning sky
on the other side
of our beautiful world.

Always whenever I see
the sun setting low
at the end of my day--
I wish so much
that all those that I love
all those who know
and love me
will somehow see
the exquisite beauty--
feel the wondrous gift
of knowing
that another day is done--
but in just a few hours
a brand new day
will have begun...

Wow!

Just In Case

I have to reflect on this awesome opportunity
that we've been granted--
So many years lost between us
several lifetimes it seems--
and yet
now?
I do love you
Always did
and hoped and prayed some day
I would have the chance again
to just tell you
how very much
I love and appreciate you.


Thank you
for all the years
you kept my heart close to yours--
thank you for not giving up entirely
on this woman child
who fell so hard for you
way back when.
I was so young (but so too were you)
had no real clue
what I needed or wanted back then
but all I know now
is that my heart rejoices
whenever I get to see
you again--


My world is richer,
brighter, better
because you are in it once more
and I still realize and know
that we have no inkling
of what might be in store
as the days and months and years ahead
unfold--
but I would be so remiss
if I didn't confess
how very much I love it
when I have you near
to hold...


I love your smile, 
your sparkling blue eyes,
love to hear your voice, your laugh--
but oh how much I also love
just feeling you near,
having your arms enfold me
embrace me to my core--
reminding me again
of the love we share
forever more...
I love you,
Sweet Blue Eyes--
I honestly Do.
Thank you so much
for loving me too...

I am That Tree

Look.
I am that tree.
I am alone on the beach
no one but the sunlight,
the sand,
the water
to accompany me.
I see in the distance
there are other trees
but they are not
of my clan
they do not know
or want me
but they accept
that I am here
with them.


Someday
I will know,
I will understand
all that it is 
that I need to know
that I need to understand.
Until then...
I will hope and strive
to get whatever meaning
that I can absorb
and is meant for me to see.


Until then--
just know
that I AM
that TREE.
Well, to be honest--
(that's who I really wish
I could be).


Sigh...

Perfect Sunflower

While walking at the lake today,
I couldn't help but think of you
and wish somehow
I could have made time
just stand still and wait
for us to finish catching up
on everything in our hearts--
With you on your way
back to your home--
I was a bit pensive,
I will admit.
And then I saw this--
The Perfect Sunflower
and it made me WISH so much
somehow I could be
that perfect sunflower
(for you).
Standing tall and proud
full of beauty and grace
everything on me
in its proper place--
and my smile aimed at you,
your heart, your soul--
sending you my love
wherever you go...
