the serenity before the chaos

as we await evening’s arrival

we stand along the riverside

I watch you toss gray stones

skimming across serene waters

I listen to nearby rustling trees

without exchanging words

we knew this was our ending

fall into dreams

let us fall into dreams
paint sunsets into
blank canvasses
 
let us sprinkle stars
into night sky,
dance with the moon
until sunrise
 
let us whisper secrets
into the breeze
lifting our burdens
from shoulders
 
let us stay
in this dream
and never awake

fire within

she seeks adventures
across lilac skies
and cobalt seas
she needs to escape
this merry-go-round
that is draining
her slowly inside
airplanes glide
above clouds
igniting within
a bonfire
soon she will be
back on the trail
seeking journeys
to lands beyond
the horizon

the beginning of something

rose bulbs slowly open up

allowing the sun’s rays to

reach its core that was closed

all winter to block out icy chills

just like my heart I slowly

expand my petals inviting

new light to enter its chambers

believing in love once again
