Celestial Melodies

the cosmic dance
to celestial melodies

free form within
patterns of precise
limitations.

The painting I know
so well.  The canvas
I want to learn.

and perhaps
someday,
the artist.

and possibly
find
peace?

Regrets mine alone

Fading words,
unsent letters,
sit silent...
you're gone,
our past unmended,
perhaps you'll
rest in peace...
regrets mine alone,
now...

Yesterdays and Tomorrows

Each breath of joy and sorrow,
fills my life, along my journey,
of yesterdays and tomorrows

each moment

unpremeditated passion,
sadness so pure,
complete smile,
clean pain,
joy untainted

each moment
fully felt...

uncontaminated
by the one
only a moment before

Finding my peace

As I walked upon the sand
on a cold winter day
I came upon a peacefulness
watching the water play
running out, coming back
the cares gone from my face
it showed me just how small am I
compared to this ocean place
I said good morning to the day
as the sun rose in the sky
it came to warm the waters
I breathed a relieving sigh
in tiredness I had come
and drove down here to the beach
my long search had ended
peace at last was within reach
I've wandered through a lifetime
searching far and wide
longing to find the simpleness
found at the oceanside
I hadn't found it in city streets
or in crowded busy stores
in country places too I had looked
I found it here at the seashore
my heart has been awakened
as if it found its own daylight
I run and lay here all the day
and stay here clear till night
I sit upon the rock pilings
and watch the ocean flow
lapping around my dangling feet
I wish I had found this long ago

Love plans

I know our
time together
is no more

Oh why do
words
come to mind
that call you back?

Why do I plan
lifetimes
that include
you?

Why do I
torture
myself
with love
I have felt
only since
you were
here?

Aged Musings

The way I learned how to swim was by being thrown into the deep end of a pool.  Sure, there was a bit of panic, but it worked.  I realized that by moving around my arms and legs I wasn't sinking.  A valuable lession I've carried with me for decades.

So, to follow that tradition, I've dived into epublishing with Aged Musings, for sale (free until this Friday) on Amazon Kindle.

Is it perfect?  No!  There are some minor formatting issues that I need to sort out.

That being said, I'm excited, and hope to learn much from this.

Thanks to all the folks who follow my blog for the support and encouragement.  You were the one's who helped push me into the deep end of the publishing pool.
