Wondering where the time went
As it is now my enemy
For the youthfulness I feel…
Is betrayed by the number

Life is about love and fear
And now I live in fear
For love has betrayed me
And rearranged everything

Each day is a challenge
But each day has its rewards
As the pain subsides
Into tomorrow’s memory.

Lying in Bed
Ready for sleep
Thinking of her
Missing her

The warmth of her body
Comforting me as I doze
While she searches for me
In the peace of her sleep

She sings for me
And I become the song
She kisses me
And I become her soul

We hold each other
And time stands still
We make love
And become the passion

We are surrounded
And reminded always
That we can never
Take anything for granted

Another day in Paradise
But like no other
As dear friends gathered
At a magical place

Against the tide
With Beautiful Everything
To the solitude and beauty…
Of one man’s reef

Sharing the peace
Surrounded by love
No thoughts of the stress
That sometimes consume us”

Reality is subjective
For we may experience
The exact same moment
Differently

We may witness a sunset
In all its glory
Yet the colors we see
Are not the same

We may speak the words
Of a concerned heart
Yet those words may hurt
When only meant to heal

It seems so simple
To merely learn
That what others feel
Requires our respect

And though we may not agree
We must strive to understand
For without that
We cannot move forward”
