Beautiful

The rising sun is beautiful

     because it makes you smile

          which is beautiful.

The rainbow’s rays are beautiful
    because your eyes light up
          which is beautiful.

When a bird soars high, it’s beautiful
    because your spirit gasps
          which is beautiful.

When a flower blooms, it’s beautiful

     because you breathe its scent

          which is beautiful.

A newborn child is beautiful
    because your heart is filled
        which is beautiful.

How you see the world is beautiful

     because the soul within
          is beautiful. 

The Horizon

If I could only see
just over the Horizon.
Vision as clouded as my thoughts,
straining through darkness.

Walking endlessly toward it
while it moves further away.
Never letting me close.
Living in silent desperation.

Wanting to see what others can,
but I cannot.
Longing to be anywhere, but here.
Trapped by perspective.

As deceiving as time.
Holding promise and hope
just out of reach
like it doesn’t belong to me.

How intriguing to be invisible.
How alluring to hide.
Waiting aimlessly
How ignored, How alone

Running away from it
only brings you closer.
Do nothing, and it won’t come to you.
Utterly Lost.

You are my compass
showing me how to face it
with a north that is True.
Challenging me to just keep walking.

With direction comes purpose.
With purpose comes courage.
With courage comes strength.
Inspiration emerges.

The sun breaks
Just over the Horizon
Dawn is here.
A new day, my day, has finally begun. 

Restless Wonderings 

When day is done

and all the time for doing things is gone

and all the thoughts have changed to memories now.

Another day spent dreaming;

Another night spent longing.

Let the wishing things begin.

I cannot sleep for thinking.

I cannot dream with things left undone.

A hunger that food cannot fill;

A thirst not quenched for lack substance.

How can I rest with restless wonderings?

What was asked of me, and what did I give back?

Who did I help, and who is hurting still?

What then, should I have said?

Darkness is a world to separate action from intent.

Illuminating light from darkness drawn;

input halted, yielding to the stillness of the night.

And in that consciousness all else does fade

as thoughts arise from air 

replacing reality with fantasy.

What is already awake cannot be awoken.

When day is done - future begins anew;

It starts when day’s ending is nigh.

When night is done,

then sleepless day begins.

EnVision!

Today

Yesterday, I was rain.  Impossible to hold
Yesterday, I was a child.  Lost and dependent
Yesterday, I was dust.  Dry and crumbling
Yesterday, I was air.  Invisible even to myself
Yesterday, I was a cave.  Dark and uncertain
Yesterday, I was a feather.  Drifting aimlessly

Today, I am clay.  Waiting, just waiting
Today, I am a balloon.  Floating and free
Today, I feel the sun.  Blinding, yet warm
Today, I feel the ocean.  Pushing and pulling
Today, I face a mountain.  Large and unmoving
Today, I am a seed.  Ready to grow

Tomorrow I will be something else,
but never who I was. 

The Kaleidoscope

The future is like a Kaleidoscope,

  an ever changing puzzle

  pieced together to form endless possibilities.

Once set in motion, it unfolds before you,

  cascading forward with twists & turns

  in an unpredictable life of its own.

A constantly blooming flower

   bursting forth with beauty

   for those who choose to see it.

A precariously perched rainbow of color

  reflecting back

   what you put into it.

Your future is what you make of it,

   moving in new directions

  with a limitless imagination.
