the Night a graceful dancer;
the sky her crystal ballroom.
the Day she dips,
down to the horizon,
and the sunset is their tango
her fingers reach to cool the ground
but not the heart of a summer reveler
i dream in color

you make me forget my name
you disarm me...
unhinge me,
the "oneness"
infringing
you make me forget my name
your nearness
is warm breath,
gentleness,
open eyes,
a soft kiss.
you make me forget my name
the window holds your silhouette
enframed by the sun's last rays
my heart does a leap, then a pirouette
and then becomes ablaze.
you make me forget my name
unhinge me,
the "oneness"
infringing
you make me forget my name
your nearness
is warm breath,
gentleness,
open eyes,
a soft kiss.
you make me forget my name
the window holds your silhouette
enframed by the sun's last rays
my heart does a leap, then a pirouette
and then becomes ablaze.
you make me forget my name

on this side of Heaven
sitting up, spitting up
learning how to stand.
saying words you've always just heard,
that now you understand.
sleepovers, and pillowfights,
discovering your dreams...
learning how to ride a bike
and playing on softball teams
first love, first kiss
first time you say goodbye
first chance to make right what's wrong
first time you selflessly cry.
may you be all He ever dreamed you'd be
on this side of Heaven

autumnal
there's a rush of crisp fall wind outside my window
scolding the ears and nose
there's a leaf turning gold on the closest tree
curling up like the petal on a rose
there's a gilded blanket hiding in all the shadow'd corners
as Frost begins to paint them
there's a crisp fall apple all cut up for some child's lunch
ripened to the colour of a gem
anticipation
holidays
laughter that fogs up the air
warm coats
sunday dinners
and friends that show you they care
even the rain seems happier in October
maybe because it knows
it wont be long
before it
snows

_______________ is the great equalizer

storm time
The air fragmented and still
The wind playing games in the trees of another town
The clouds lying in vast repose...taunting the trees/sidewalks/houses/fields below
The rain (still young enough to be timid); touching the leaves of the blackberry bush with tender curiosity
The horizon adorned with pearly greys, pinks and blues
The sun setting and taking all the finery of day to his palace on the other side
The child watching from a bedroom window...stands like a conductor, waiting for the music to begin.
