Spirit

Spirit, she came to me,
In the mirror of my dreams, 
Spirit, she said to me,
Meet me at yonder stream.

The time is ripe,
Yet it's not time,
Your life is right,
One step at a time.

Spirit, she stayed with me,
Waited while I strayed,
Spirit, she walked with me,
Reached out when I prayed.

The rose stays red,
The grass still green,
A wanderer's bed,
A familiar dream.

Spirit, she reached out to me,
When all the world was still,
Spirit, she embraced me,
While I was sleeping still.

Dawn upon dawn,
Night upon night,
Moments in time,
Now gone, now mine.

Spirit, a part of me,
Time after time,
Spirit, my life tree,
Eternal, Divine.

Time

She sits by the window,
Waiting, watching,
Sunsets come and go,
Sighing, flying.

A single strand of pearls,
Now warm, now cold,
Pearls strewn across the floor,
Now together, now alone.

Hot chocolate and laughter,
Sipping, skipping,
Rum and coca-cola,
Slipping, missing.

No one by the window,
Waiting, watching,
Lifetimes come and gone,
Sighing, flying.
