All I Know

all i know
is that i'm
waiting for you
everyday
i know that i will
never go away
this is all i know

(the words
coming floating in
i never know
what's coming next)

I Look Inside

beneath the surface
heart beating
sincerity
tenderness
spirit
passion for life

Sitting, Standing

all day

up
down

twist
turn

spin

push left
push right

both feet

knees bending

lean back
lean forward

calf
shin
shin
calf

I Can Be

when i see
i go away
i know there is
another day

and when i go
i laugh and sing
i believe
i can be the one

and one day
the stars align
and i can see
the light above

but when i am
to be the one
and feeling good
i know that it can be

i see the way
to a place where
all i can be is
one with the universe

I Draw a Line Through the Sand

the light
shines so warmly
it follows me
lights my path
it helps me carry on

Me

i will go
where my heart goes

i will dream
the night away

i close my eyes
to another place i go

far away
where no one can see

i must go
to a place of quiet solitude

i must go
to think in my way

just to be me
in my way i want to be

Here and There

we go together
here and there
we find our way
over and under
round about
two of us
we never fear
we can go
and we can see
always more
never less
we go together
here and there

Triple Axel

tumbling through open fields

somersault
cartwheel
triple axel

magnificent

Beautiful Day

what happens
when
all your dreams
come true?

Flow

finding the words to match the moment
to exist here and now
only focusing on what is
hitting a state of mind
exhilarating
exhausting
groovy
anticipation
ready to enter again and again
knowing what is possible
this is the place i need to be

Truth

all i can do
is
stand here
and speak the truth

go go go
try my best

all i ask
is
the same
from you
you
and you

The Meaning of Sleep

there comes a time when sleep is more than sleep
when the head must rest for recovery and rejuvenation
eyes closed the dreams become an escape to imagination
a place that brings us back to the other side with renewal

Standing on the Edge

looking out
at a world of possibilities
so close
i can touch, feel, hear

my toes tip over
feeling my body sway
to be swept
by wind, sea and stars

On the Sofa

run
strong

shout
loud

think
deep

love
flow

Sunday

soft on my feet
i know sunday is here
when i can just be
in my socks
puttering around

Splash

bursting fireworks
light the horizon for generations

flickering neon signs
elicit subliminal transformational messages

the world collides
into a million dancing stars

In the Moment

dancing through
a celebration
a chorus
a symphony
a journey

looking the other way
not looking up
not looking out

photograph
painting
sketch
capture this moment
be present

Nostalgia

orange juice
chips and salsa
coffee ice cream
shrimp and edamame

storrow drive
longwood gardens
beverly hills
olympia

Stillness

mind silent
body relaxed
no action
no activism
slowing to a stop
muscles heal

to find this moment
monthly
daily
hourly
minute to minute
second to second

stillness awakens me
i fall to sleep

A Day to Remember

thunderous
trembles
so slightly
the rocks shiver
storm and fog

Thumper

thump
thump thump thump
thump
thump thump
thump
thump
thump

Pieces of Me

coming down from the sky
out my pockets
out the door
in my car
in my bag
scattered
in disarray
these pieces toss into me

Shower Song

i am alone
yet not alone

i am together
yet not together

Bombastic

Fantastic
Mystic
Ecstatic
Whimsical
Stick
Shtick

Calm

he found calm
one day
when he turned the corner
there she was

Disorientation

always surrounded by color
shining at every corner
living backwards in space and time
crafting a spiritual journey
without course or compass
wonderful brilliance exists
at the nexus of truth and power

Mirror (Role Model)

your smile
pat on the back
watching how you go

i need you
to carry me forward
you carry me

what you say
how you think
inspires me

you are
who i want to be
what i want to be
(when i grow up)

you are
living
breathing

your presence
your way
you

tip-tap tip-tap

Study of Snow

crunch under my shoes
soft on my fingertips

brush from my pants
push from my windshield

pack to throw at a tree
pack to throw at my sister

resting gently on a windowsill
sitting outside the front door

spiraling from the sky
passing through the light of a lamp post

dancing in the moonlight
dancing in the moonlight

Magical Dreams

closing my eyes
not sure where i'm going
ready to go anywhere
such a wild ride
the adventure is exhilarating
on a mountain
roller-coaster
underwater
catching the game winner
walking my dog
dancing the Nutcracker
the experiences are endless
magical dreams
i look forward to sleep
to see where i will go

Circles

circles
come and go
round and around
crossing my path
feeling whole
together
spinning

circles
fill me with motivation
feeling connected
i can do it
a bright future
unity
love

circles
get me thinking
keep me going forward
feeling joy
full of possibilities
beautiful
hope

From A Different Prism

today
i see the world
from a different prism
(my breathe hurts)
new dimensions
new voices
so much to learn
the view is overwhelming

i write to myself
this is the world i want
can it exist?
