Dreams
of youth
fade
away.
Dreams
of peace
lead
the way.
Gone
are the
grand plans~
Simple pleasures
are what
I crave.
Aging
a gift
or a
curse?
Lessons
learned
Wisdom
earned.
Dreams
remain…
as of
yet,
untamed~

Finding beauty
in the small
things…
The songs of
the birds
the buzz
of the
bees
the love
of four legged
friends…
Laughter that
cleanses the
soul,
A sunrise that
touches it…
The flavors
of good
food,
the love
of people
that matter
to you,
the grace
to forgive
yourself
for being
human.
It is a
gift
to be able
to find the
beauty
in all
things.

blow…
the pain
the stress
blow
blow away…
air
through the
grain
find the best
keep them
close~
blow
sweet wind
and
show me
where the
valuable
lives…
to ride
the wind
to sweet
delights
Winnow
away the
nights…

I long to
fly free
on magic
wings…
Tears flow
I’ve no
where to
go…
Searching for
freedom,
for friends,
for tribe
for love to
trust and hold…
I’ve given up
on the dreams
of old…
I fold~
Begin again
be bold!
I walk
alone,
I will fly
alone
into the
blackness
I soar
I ride with
phoenix
wings…

I’ve walked a million
miles
I’ve taken many
roads
Some I chose
Some chose me
I am on a road trip
I did not chose
No choices here
Walk it I must
it’s a dark road
that doesn’t yield
there is pain ahead
with limited paths
out of my control.
May I have
the strength
the courage
the stamina
and heart
to walk
this road
with dignity
and grace
guided always
by love…
