I walk in glass slippers
waiting for them to shatter,
for I'm not used to
Cinderella endings;
I feel so scared
in trusting love;
Somehow I don't feel
I deserve it; . . . more

Somewhere in the midst of the tears we cry
is a river that flows, strong and sure,
transporting our joy and pain
to a place where all becomes clear;
A river no longer muddied by that

I wish I could love you back to me,
welcome you into my softness,
chase away the clouds,
and give you comfort in the night;
Whisper words so seldom heard,
kiss away your tears,
show you love's . . . more

We sit in our pristine churches,
in our mansions made of glass;
We pray for those who have nothing,
but when we see them, we walk past.
We congregate, try to legislate,
but forget those in . . . more

What's on my plate is what's on my plate
No need to look for other definitions
Like those that ride on the tail winds
Of rusting steam engine trains
That cast off traces of shadow
Lingering . . . more

So much is lovely
in the course of a day;
Do we see it?
So much beauty
in the trees and the skies,
the sound of birds singing
as we live our lives.
We run to and fro,
pass it by . . . more

My heart is aching;
I feel so scared;
I don't know
what you're feeling
or thinking,
and I need you
like flowers need the rain;
I can't imagine
never seeing you again;
You gentle my . . . more

Why war?
Why not peace?
A peace in our heart that we seek.
Why war?
Why not love?
An emotion that passed on by Above.
Why war?
Why not hope?
A worst thing to be without.
Peace we find . . . more

Sometimes I fly on angel's wings
when my strength is running low,
and I cannot seem to walk the path
that it seems I am destined to go;
Sometimes in my darkest moments
when my hope is . . . more

Hearts igniting

So exciting.

Storm clouds looming
Wind is blowing
Hearts are booming. . . . more

Fifteen minutes ago, I was smiling at you,
Loving the way you love me,
Loving the way you take care of me
And the way you tell me I'm pretty even when I don't feel like it.
Fifteen minutes . . . more

Celebrate the art of breathing as if it were purest gold
Or that of a fantasy wrapped up in silken rainbows
For what isn't there to love as the dawning fills up your eyes
Or to hear the sound . . . more

Amuse me amusement park and make me glad if you're able
As I walk through your turnstiles ready to buy any fable
And my role as the rider on the merry-go-round of life
Asks a break in cadence . . . more

The dawn beckons
as the first rays of sunlight
filter through my windowpane;
I turn, sleepy-eyed,
stretching long, yawning
as I stumble out of bed
to greet the brand new day;
