The Wonder of Rain

The Wonder of Rain

Colors of wonder
rainbow's light
as the sun peaks
in after the glorious
rain

The earth smiles
her wise old smile
as the flowers
reach toward the
sun and the birds
find fresh drink
where once there was
none

All this joy from a simple
raincloud and some think
there is nothing in life to be
happy about...

How sad for them...

The Tree of We

The Tree of We

I don't want to be
a splinter, one who
gets under your
skin and irritates you,
but rather I wish to
be your tree

The one you want to
lean on when your
feeling tired or just
need a little support

The "place" you go to seek
shelter from life's storms

The "solid" in your life,
the one who will stand
beside you, yet be able
to sway in the breeze,
bending as we need to
when life's challenges
come our way

I want to be your roots,
anchored firm and strong,
our branches full of new
growth as time takes us
in new directions, one,
entwined

I want to be your tree,
'til all the sunsets have
passed, standing strong,
together, enjoying forevermore

Music of My Heart

Music of My Heart

Take your hands
and roam my body,
as we listen to the
soft slow melody of the rain

Kiss my lips and meld with me,
as our tongues mingle
together as one

Find your way
into my heart,
at home where
you belong

Reach my soul,
oh lover mine and
there will be no sleep
tonight, for the joining
will be our comfort,
rest and energy

The melody of lovers found
in rhythm as old as time,
moving with each other,
feeling one another
in shadowed symphony
