What Adventures We’ve Shared

Standard

Oh what adventures we have shared.

Together.

We have climbed mountains

And sang in sweet unison cheers of victory

As we arrived at the summit.

Together.

We have crawled through muddy,

Murky valleys

And rejoiced at the sight

Of the rising sun

As the morning air filled our lungs with hope.

Together.

We have laughed until we cried

And our bodies and bones have trembled

As sorrow has wracked us to the core.

Together.

We have stood in silence,

Watching the sun kiss the horizon

Goodnight,

All the while

Quietly anticipating the realization of sweet dreams coming alive

In the wake of tomorrow.

Together.

And on each adventure,

Each detour,

Each long dry straightaway,

Every joyous celebration,

Every tiny step forward,

Each slip backwards,

Whether you have been through a portion

Or this whole amazing

Journey

With

Me

Thus far,

I thank you.

Cracked Windows

Standard

I try to see out these windows.
These hazy
Cracked widows.
And my heart leaps
As my eyes catch a glimpse
Of what I think is you.
I sit here and wait
With a heart full of hope.
Sometimes I wander these
Old creaky floors
Opening windows and doors.

Filling this house with fresh air,
Clearing the cobwebs in the corners.

Dreaming and daring.

Anticipating your return.

Imaging you standing there looking at me

Through the hazy,

Cracked

Windows.

Spark

Standard

That hope that once lived inside,

That burned you up
And set your dreams on fire
Where has it gone?
Where does it hide?
That open heart that gave you wings
And set you soaring above the
Clouds
Where has it gone?
Why do you have it bound?
That love of life
That quickened your heart
And lightened your step
Where does is sleep?
Why must you keep it
Hidden in the dark?
If you must,
Borrow my spark
And together let us
Reignite
That sleeping
Fire in your heart.

My World

Standard

In my world,

You keep your eyes down low

And opinions to yourself.

Don’t you dare start a fight.

In my world,

You keep your heartbeat quiet

And tiptoe around corners

So as not to disturb the false

Serenity.

In my world,

You stay on your knees.

Make yourself as small as possible

And do what does not need asking.

In my world,

You dream in the shadows.

Become the shadows

And hide any shiny hope you treasure

From thieves

Who have none of their own.
