how many lives
does one touch?
does one's existance
mean that much?

questions linger
suffocating
and stimulating

the smoke of life
disillusioning
and illuminating.

Passing Thoughts

you enter my mind
like a familiar dream
a ghost of what
could have been

your smile
brings ease
your arms
warm and comforting

to hear your voice
a whisper in my ear
of love
and the times we shared

as quickly
as you appeared
the feelings fade
and alone i stand

again soon
you filter through
and the comfort it brings
will get me through

for each day comes
with a memory of you
the time we shared
where two hearts grew.

Looking back, tripping in the present, and falling into the future

caught in a memory
happiness that was
yet shall never be

good times
and friendship shared
all of which
seems to dissapear

things come
and so they go
but relationships last
or so i'm told

the evidence
however unclear
leaves a heavy heart
on the verge of tears

distracted by the past
another world in itself
for the present is now
and the future to beheld.

Once upon a Saturday

maybe it's not meant to be
yet there you are
in front of me
your soft sweet smile
and powdery skin
deep dark eyes
that i fall in

infinite
as is your soul
the kindness shared
and times untold

our future bright
yet unknown
with yearnings
unquenched
and surprises
bestowed

each day
each hour
that passes by
w/out you and me
side by side

my heart sinks
lacking your embrace
as i ponder the paths
our hearts will take.

the treadmill of life
has no OFF switch
no stopping
allowed

keep breathing
and moving...
that's what life
is about.

too painful to cope
a moments heartache
can be anothers sorrow

for freinship shared
and tears shed
createbonds
that see us through
tomorrow

we laugh at life
at happiness
and tradgedies
that hurt
for a smiling face
with tears
can be from a death
or birth

we live a life less ordinary
no limits
unbound

to see the world as extordinay
where possibility
abounds

A birthday wish for the frog loving marsh ecologists

We count on change
like the rising sea
the threads of commnity
bound us free

our individual
unique views
comfort eachother
and see us through

like a community of frogs
our voices heard
forever changing
the team unstirred

Ramblings

look into my eyes
what a big surprise
oh, how can this be
forever we must see
hand in hand we move
through life's uncertainties
is it you
or is it me?
together, will we make it three?
a new life
yet unstarted
distantly appearing
free from life's rigidity
pleasant in uncertainty
how else can this be
that you are I
and I are we
circles, circles
everywhere
yet we end
where we began
moving forward
to start again
a lesson
yet unlearned
to be repeated
each time anew.

Today is a good day

We see the world through our own little eyes
a personal view
subjective
some don't realize.

When the weighted pain
and hurtful acts
are gone
one questions,
Will a sequel come?

For the cycles of life
and ruts yet unfilled
keep repeating the acts
that can make one ill.

Yet each day
we live and learn
a new experience embraced.
As the sun rises and sets
our love's spread through its rays.
