“Change happens for you the moment you want something

more than you fear it.” 

― Eric Micha'el Leventhal

"In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike. And no two journeys along the same path are alike."

Paulo Coelho

"It takes a lot of time being a genius. You have to sit around so much doing nothing. Really doing nothing." Gertrude Stein

“You can ask the universe for all the signs you want, but ultimately, we see what we want to see when we’re ready to see it.”

In your Moon

The moon came through the open window

 on an unexpected breeze

 whilst I was sleeping.  

It brushed the hair back from my face

 then kissed me upon my forehead.

I smiled knowing you had sent it 

 as you have done ever since we parted.  

In your moon

I slept

in peace.

Only touching my lips

to it

as I awoke

to send it back

to 

You.

aberrant companions

My soul sometimes bleeds through sleep, leaving me bewildered with a wakefulness that was less about thoughts and more about deep penetrating feelings that left scars so very long ago one almost but never forgets nor forgot.  

I just wished there were even one other soul buried inside one other human that I might connect with in silent understanding so that sitting with no spoken words was a deep presence desired by both.  

Like a human who wishes to fly ~ this soul has turned ghostly white waiting for its release.  

Perhaps in the mists or even the darkness I might find you to commune with whilst both of our souls remain encased in these human sarcophagi.

Pour another Ginger and Jack

Sit down upon the glider

 surrounded by the coolness

 of the late spring breeze

 flowing through the open windows 

Pull the music close 

stare at the unfinished canvas

 that begs for attention

 getting only the distance of the mind

 now lulled in peaceful contentment

She was far away

in the nearness of this day

remembering those times 

when nothing interrupted

the joy of reflection that

now comes back to be

if only her eyes now could see

she came full circle 

in silent reverie

Where did you go

Was I really so foolish

Thinking I had to let you go

Why did I not sit next to you

And wait forever and a day
