With the gentle winds
Sunlight dancing on it’s leaves
Photography, Poetry, & Ponderings
Bamboo swaying gracefully
With the gentle winds
Sunlight dancing on it’s leaves
A flaming sunset
Reflecting on ocean glass
Bright as refined gold
With a rainbow in the sky
and the promise of light
when our eyes first met
It just wasn’t right
Everything seemed good
as perfect as can be
but the problem was never you
it was always just me
These lifeless eyes blinded
by past fears and insecurities
never allowing love in fully
as it was intended to be
For the very wish longed prayed for
was the one I couldn’t see
distracted by other dim lights
but the brightest not worthy of me
and in regret I will entreat
that blind eyes begin to see
the beautiful truth I pushed away
that was always destined for me
Can life offer second chances
will grace be kind to agree
that rare kind of love that came into my life
was a missed opportunity
So here I am doing innerwork
to set my mind free
self-sabotage is real
it was never about you
it was always just me
You…
you are a blessing
As waters run deep
joined to the mist of the air
purity is born
When sunflowers bloom
And the grass grows knee high
Who would’ve thought
It rains in July
The warmth of the sun
As sparrows fly by
A turn of the weather
A final goodbye
The summer is ending
The ground has grown dry
This love has gone jaded
It rains in July
Hearts are now fragile
You turned a blind eye
The season is over
It rains in July
When I look upon the heavenlies
A sphere of radiant light
Splitting open the evening sky
An illumination so bright
In latin it’s name is “Luna”
In greek they say “Selene”
The time I’ve had
conversing with the moon
Revealing secrets unseen
New hopes & past disappointments
Dreams that reach sky high
Whispers of things that no one else hears
Just between the moon and I
For that orb of night
Shares a glimmer of light
For anyone who draws near thy
As twilight falls
Watching over thee
Goodnight, sweet lullaby
I arrived at a crossroad
where two paths diverge
one to the right and one to the left
never meant to converge
I’m blinded in seeking
which direction to choose
Do I use mind over heart?
the latter is justly pursued
So I take two steps forward
then one step back
finding freedom in movement
getting life back on track
Because what I thought was the end
has only just begun
new beginnings are waiting for me
this test in life I won
Ancient of days
what would you say
to the one who has passed you
along the way
Do you have tales
on men of old
who have traveled your path
as history unfolds
Have you seen war
tribulation and love
the chronicles of humanity
in the makings of
Memories as you’ve witnessed
the worse and best of mankind
recorded in the annuals of nature
and preserved throughout all time
Not a day goes by
that I don’t think of you
imagining your sweet face
so pure and true
sometimes I wonder if you’d looked like me
the color of your hair
those beautiful eyes
the shape of your nose
or your tiny smile
I bet you would be sassy, spirited, and smart
just like your sister
Or adventerous, down to earth, and funny
just like your brother
Oh these thoughts of you
brings me joy
as I carry you in my heart
for one sweet day
I’ll see you again
my precious angel
my baby love
my little garden of Eden
Sometimes I wonder
when thinking of you
how life is so precious
and yet we live through
the heartaches of life
where no one is spared
taking for granted
we’ll always be there
the veil is then torn
between life and death
tomorrows never promised
love with no regrets
