The Book of Love

In the Book of Love you'll find me
dancing to a melody - my own
tune, my memories, dissolving,
crumbling, mending.

Back to the drawing board take me,
fill me, complete me - find me
in wild flowers by the way side,
pebbles, brooks and landslides.

Through pages blank now draw me
out of nothing - building, creating
life-long journeys, painting
rainbows, endings, beginnings.

In the Book of Love you'll leave me
humming softly - a fresh melody,
new life, hope, harmony,
lifting, haunting symphony.

Love's Pathway

Yellow lilies
dance and sway
Away, together
Life's pathway.

Calling from afar
they say
Come away with me
To a place far away.

I follow, stumble
upon my way
Encounter red lilies
To passion - prey.

Whispers from afar 
I hear
Forget me not
I hold you dear.

Lily white
come what may
Love will always
Find a way.

In Chaos

In chaos I found darkness,
Through chaos saw the light,
With chaos came clear vision
Beauty and wonder bright.

Chaos brought me illness,
Also strength of will,
Chaos both my nemesis
And ally if you will.

Chaos stoked the embers
Of memories buried deep,
Rising like a phoenix
Raging forest fires leap.

Chaos cleansed the fire,
Stilled my heart's erratic beat,
Washed away illusions
Mirrored in my dreams.

In chaos I sought mystery,
Followed my path, my right,
Midst chaos I surrendered
To love and faith - pure might.
