This Place...

I love this place, this page.
It's where I come for comfort and rest.
The pages draw me - they settle my fractured heart
and let me breathe deeply again.
I'm surrounded by the quiet, those
I love and enjoy,
and can concentrate on the feelings of freedom and free-thinking
in a universe that grows smaller and smaller
by the minute.
Thank you for striding by quietly, as I sit deep
in my thoughts,
writing down my heart,
breathing in the fresh air.
And listening to bird symphonies
above me.

I see you

I see you there, you are not alone. Although you may think you... Days call forth nights, the moon rises and peeks out from behind its curtain of clouds to see the expanse of its worldly possessions. And relax in its cradle of star dotted skies. Sighing deeply, because it knows this only lasts a few hours. A few sweet, silent hours until the blaze of sun hits the horizon with its infernal glory and colorful pastels. Then birds begin to chirp and sounds start up in the distance, announcing the dawn of a new day. Unfolding the warmth of daylight and the end of darkness and silence. The moon tucks itself back into the recesses from where it comes, waiting for another sparkling twilight to begin, another tear dropped sky to welcome him. And the sight of you, along the way.
