Warmth

The road is opening,
The sky is bright,
The sun is shining,
And love takes flight.

Sun warmth on my skin,
For your touch is aching,
Barriers are so thin,
Your love is claiming.

The arches of the bridges,
Crossing over rivers,
The softness of the ridges,
Welcoming shivers.

The sound of breathing,
Hair touch so slight,
The unknown venturing,
To a land of delight.

Light Shining Through

And then it opened before me, the possibilities, eternity.
The lost one I am thankful for, the memories.
Looking up from the dark dungeon, grasping into its walls,
Opening up to the light still coming through the clouds.
The sea ahead, the long distance to be sailed,
Surviving it all, broken, deceived, betrayed.
And again, the light comes shining through,
To what withstands time, to what is true.

As I look up from my sorrow,
And let the wind dry my tears,
I again see a tomorrow,
To the past, my hauting fears.

As I am willing to carry my cross
And step by step walk my path,
You offered me your support,
And made the weigth seem much less.

As the light comes shinning through
After a very cold, lonely night,
Our paths crossed when we were true,
And hope and joy stopped by.

Beyond today I cannot see,
Work on finding peace of mind.
But to feel the wind I'll allow me
For all things there is time.

Abandon Darkness

Shooting star in the sky,

Cruising the highway,

Heart flying high,

Not turning away.



The past is a shadow

I’m leaving behind.

Shackles put down,

Now sees the blind.



Moonlight shines,

Keeps me company;

The heart of mine

Beats strong and free.



Coming is the dawn

The sun’s first ray;

Darkness abandon,

Open to a new day.

Open Windows

How far would you go, how long would you wait,
Following your heart, still keeping your faith.
Through the coldest winter, the warmest summer,
With your heart beating in synchrony with the drummer.

How far would you drive, with the wind on your face,
Getting burned by the cold, to rest find no place.
As the birds fly when the season comes to migrate,
Will you persevere, will you defy and overcome fate.

And when heart has braved the weather and the elements,
Climbed the highest mountains and all the path’s torments,
Will still be open to love, will still be honest, sincere,
Or will to a reach out hand turn away and sneer.

And when suddenly joy comes knocking at your door,
Will you lift the weight that chains you to the floor?
Will you bravely open the windows of your heart,
And look with wonder to the possibilities of a new start?

Walking

Walking on the beach, sand between my toes,

Seashells well washed and gleaming in the sun,

Following the tiny footsteps of the seagulls,

To a world of dreams that with you begun.



Above me, the white clouds in the blue sky,

I see a little plane writing your name.

To the seagull I whisper and let it fly,

Holding the secret that keeps me sane.



To the water I went and let it wash my soul,

From questions that can never be asked.

Hope is a key that I securely hold,

That won’t let love out of my grasp.



And out of the water I came and felt

The soft breeze dancing on my skin,

Away taking the doubts once held,

Slowly awakening the fire within.
