(2014)
Firefly shine your light, Brighten my life, Lead the way, through The meadows, in my mind. Firefly, float so high,
On a walk this morning, the rocky cliffs that reach the blue-green sea, talk of strength today.
When I first heard “The Blackbird,” In the middle Of night, I was just thirteen.
Walking down the dirt path, Sounds drift on the air, Birds chirping, leaves Rustling, dogs barking. Interconnection of life
A path with heart Is full of love Which makes us right Brings in the light And chases the dark.
In the bright moments My mind is a flame, Melting obstacles, Gaining gifts of wisdom. In the dark moments
Blue star behind tree branch. White cloud passing half moon. Black space surrounds like a
Red sun in the morning rolling up the side of earth. The sky turned pink, as a ball of fire showed it’s strength,
Harsh reality smacks like a slap of cold wind. Sometimes I’m a tough sailor, at the helm,
Rolling painted deserts of the west. Shrub bushes dot sloping hillsides. Relentless sun heats up
Thoughts flicker like twinkling lights, ride them across the sky. Embrace your dream,
On this New Year’s Eve Direction lost Drifting like blowing snow To and fro. A freeze comes
One year since I traveled to paradise. One year since I laughed and danced with friends. One year since I watched
If I could go back in time I would fix my wrongs, I would sing new songs And mend all hate And open the gate
An owl hoots on this cool, crisp Spring night. A sound that’s distant yet echos
