Where Next?

Lost with no compass
No means to return
No northern star to guide me
No road sign or map
Now there's no turning back
No footprints behind me
No breadcrumbs to follow
No broken twig
Or worn down path
I'm turning in circles
With both eyes covered
And now I'm left wondering
"Where next?"

Forever You and Me

I cry myself to sleep each night
And dream of days gone quickly by
A touch, a glance
This missed second chance
At true love and romance

That moment has passed and I am
Left wondering what could have been
My misspent youth
The choices we choose
And what I did then lose

One day I hope to turn and see
With outstretched arms you standing there
Your smiling face
My tear stricken haze
In love we do embrace

To call you mine for years I yearn
To wake beside you every morn
We will soon see
Together we'll be
Forever you and me

The Lighthouse

Alone out in the fog
No light to shine the way
No waves crash upon me
This is how I spend my days

I'm lost and forgotten
With no ship to protect
Frigid waters surround me
Empty cold winds caress

The rocky cliffs before me
An end I cannot reach
To sink deep within this ocean
And then wash up on this beach

I am the lowly lighthouse
No keeper to take care
I'm broken, left in darkness
This burden's mine to bear

36. Night Song (Dec 31)

The mist of the night air
Blankets my skin
As dew tiptoes on my face

The night sky twinkles
Stars mischievously play
As the moon watches overall

The breeze waltzes with the trees
Leaves are dipped and spun
As dance and song is brought to all

I lie here on the ground
My eyes are closed
As I look inside to the night sky

The babbling brook speaks
Sweet words of solitude
As frogs join in the song of wild

The crickets jump and sing
Owls make their flight
As they all are merry with life

I open my ears to the world
I feel and see all that’s here
As they dance and sing around me

On the grass I rest
With all my new little friends
We listen and speak of what’s to come

This is the time of all things great
Where peace and joy reign supreme
And where morning brings the end

35. Lady of the Lake (Dec 30)

Like the lady of the lake

I live in the waters

My home is a reflection

Of truth in the world

My world a place of absolute truth

Reflections that tell all

Reflections that do no false

In light I hide below surface

But at night I come alive

Dancing under the moon’s light

Using the stars’ reflection as my guide

This is the lost place of magic

It has been left to here

Once prevalent in everything

It’s now just here hiding from disbelief

I am the lady of the lake

Keeper of all magic left

Above the surface you only see your reflection

While below I stare back with envy

34. I, the Creator (Dec 29)

I am a legend

A fable, a myth

I am the keeper

Of all that is

I created the world

And every place known

I molded your skin

I shaped your bones

There was nothing before me

I did come first

I feed the hungry

I quench their thirst

From the moment time started

Someone always believed

In me they took shelter

Their pain I relieved

I took part of me

And made each a soul

Then a breath gave them life

This made them whole

Good in the beginning

By all innocence was had

If they fell into darkness

Their hearts did turn bad

The world had to be balanced

I created the night

Good had to have something

For it to fight

Night has the day

Water has the land

Good has the bad

All made by my hand

I live in the skies

The sea and the earth

You will meet me at death

And say goodbye at birth

33. I Call for You (Dec 28)

Through trees and vines and rocks and roots

Through the thickest brush and undergrowth

I call for you

I pray you make haste

And rescue me

From these shadows unveiled

Myself realized under evening skies

Stars twinkle giving hint to the truth

Which is only unveiled when shadows walk

To have the clouds parted

To have the very darkness of night sky

Be moved to show me the way

I call for you

Through the thickest brush and undergrowth

Through trees and vines and rocks and roots
