Each day breaks Different than the last As the sun rises From its rays, shadows are cast; Across the land And the face of me and you Allowing us to see Each other’s point of view; Sitting side-by-side United together All living on borrowed time Thankful for tomorrow.
When time decides To draw outside the lines, Embrace that face And adore the details Expertly etched By the crafty hands of time; Who’ve turned black and white To shades of grey, And colored the puppy eyes Of man’s best friend – Perceptive and wise
What awaits Where we can’t see Let’s step inside and discover Instead of hide From the magic We will find If we just open our hearts And free our minds From what we think We know To discover a story Still being written; Word-for-step Hand-in-hand The ending awaits for us To claim our… Read More Wonderland

A fallen fragment That once stood tall Appears broken, downtrodden Very nearly forgotten But from rings of strength Formed through tests and trials New purpose exists For what’s now tired …Splintered… Into a shelter Ready to share Storms it’s been through For out of its wounds Life is born anew
In another place Some other time When the days of you And I are gone; Different sets of eyes Will see Us in the clouds Forever-free; Decorating the sky – beautifully For those who’ll surely be: Studying the same scene, Questioning and wondering, Searching and asking “Why?” As they scan the windswept sky; To see… Read More Windswept Sky
