WHERE IS LOVE?
I seek her in the day,
dream of her at night.
Her face is yet unknown
still I see her in my mind.
A heart beats
without another to hear
A hand reaches in the darkness
waiting for that tender touch
Is she in another land
or just around the corner?
Still waiting, still wanting
and yet... she too waits for love
Somewhere we will meet
where, oh when will it be?
Who are you my dream
why do you wait to be here?

ONCE IN A LIFETIME
In a lifetime - perhaps only once
You may meet that very special person
The one who sets you heart ablaze
bringing passion and fire to your life.
Keep your mind clear -
share of yourself in full honesty.
Open your heart -
let those feelings show.
Yes, risk is present in all,
for you may be hurt again.
Realize though, without taking that risk,
your heart will be locked forever.
Allow the deepest feelings to surface -
express your love and joy in all.
Yes, look with the eyes and mind -
but always feel with the heart
When you find that special one -
share every joy and pain.
Love with every ounce of your being
or it may soon slip away
Allow that love to grow -
ever stronger each day
Let passion rise
with each touch, each kiss
to experience the wonder of love so sweet!

LIFE AND LOVE
A
winding path leads upward reaching for the heavens, surrounded by life.
Each step taken along the way provides newness bringing a plethora of
wonder for the mind and spirit.
Brushing across, contacting, being very careful not to destroy - for they
are each living things.
Some grow actively, some become stagnant, others in a process of death
- but all given;
assembled here for a purpose, supporting the very essence of life each
in their own way.
Stopping points along the way provide a short diversion in the trail.
Another view from each - unique yet similar in the distance.
Below lies life of ages past; some formed long ago to provide support,
strength, the base of creation.
Now turning, retrace the lateral path back to that of the main - for more
awaits after learning and leaving this place.
The journey continues, ever upward until at last a peak is reached and
all else is in view below.
Now in the clouds of life - to commune with all observed, all touched,
all loved.
Stay here for a while- experience the forces, the energy of life and love,
fortify self to a strength before unknown.
Dwell at the precipitous peak, no higher can be attained here until the
next is conquered.
Balance at the edge, observe all of beauty that He has created, the pleasure
of all prolonged, retained.
There is no end, only another beginning and then another.
More paths to travel - another challenge now... an escarpment along the
precipice leads into the future, to a place unknown.
Unsure footing is encountered here in this long, winding, sometimes tiring
journey downward to a valley far below.
There a river of rocks must be crossed, a worthwhile effort leading to
yet another peak to be attained.
