simple lines...

simple lines play like music across my tender soul...a stirring string of gentle notes sing upon the ground...i hear the words and dare not sing them...they conjure up great storms...

so with a closed mouth i hum the tune and keep them to myself...

simple lines of love...

let me be...

let me be as the rose...pure in all her layers...let me taste the kiss of sun and find favor with those gentle eyes...let me open and love well...let me add happiness to the day...let me be this and more...for today i fell short of my wish...so i wish tonight on the brightest star...let me be as the rose which still blooms as days shorten and nights come colder...let me be brave and good and full of grace...

sleeping in...

dragon's eye

drawing in the light

summoned...awakened...enlightened...alive

into the quiet place...

i miss the lake and those quiet moments of sitting by the lake...feet resting in the cool water...at peace with myself...i am drowning tonight...drowning in my own dark thoughts...and so i release them and let them sink to the bottom...i will stay on land...i will walk away...i will not stumble...i am sorry, please forgive me, thank you, i love you...this is my prayer...
