beneath the sun

beneath the sun

I heard the summer sky
and it lifted me up to heaven
where love feathers gold wings
and angels cry

your soul sleeps within the depth 
of my emotion

and I am lost to you....forever

change whistles down corridors white 
with pure thought and intent

Dream


Dream

down
the day again
winter
has settled in
snow fogs
like icy pearls
crust the road
a magic white
lost
in a world
of headlights
 slipping
farther
 
into the night

In The End



In The End


what would you remember
that day
the song that came to mind
the little things 
what did I say
only a drive
and trees that formed a line

what would you say

would it be any different 

now

forgetting things that
matter most


make it go away

Strangers


Strangers

two times
it passed them by
long shadows
long sky
up to their necks in water
high

put the blame on time
or reality
put the blame on someone else
entirely

stitch the morning
pull the thread
looks like strangers 
up ahead
