Third
Row - Second Seat
It's all in the power
of thoughts
Silent movies playing
in the mind
The film of life, memories
of the past
Transcending with
the passage of time
Never-ending gift of
possibilities
Unfolding on the stage
of creativity
Visions of untold hopes
and dreams
Recording the heartbeat
of their revelations
Episodes of purpose
and resolution
Reflecting the soul's
design of destiny
Genesis of thought,
perceptions of spirit
Silent movies playing
in the mind

With
Cherries In The Middle
Upside down world served
on a platter
Pineapple rings baked
inside a cake
Black and white pictures
hidden on pages
Colors painting them
without a trace
Shoes slipped on the
wrong two feet
Uncertain of which
direction to take
Climbing a mountain
to reach the top
Discovering below
the valley of peace
Rivers flowing to higher
energies
Connecting to oceans
of all possibilities
Heart directing a symphony
of nature
Orchestrating the
silent space between thoughts
Life in harmony with
the world
Pineapple rings on
an upside down cake

Dandelion's
Dignity
Rooted in a camp of
native green
Private First Class
upon induction
Humble rank of insignificance
Unknown in numbers
of profusion
Transformation of
radiant energy
Presence of light
- courage - strength
Worthy of a higher
valued self
Four Star General
in a camp of native green

Grow
Great By Dreams
If I could run fast
enough
I believe I could
fly
Leaving the realities
of the world below
Reaching far beyond
life as it is known
Wings of aspirations
soaring above clouds
Permission of dreams
to come true
Galaxies only hearts
and souls can discover
Creation of stars
illuminating visions of the
mind
I wish I would run
fast enough
I believe I would
fly

Interlude
Ticking of the kitchen
clock
Moments measuring
in time
Pen composing on lined
paper
Ink gliding side to
side
Gazing out rain spotted
windows
Panes of glass dividing
by eight
Sky painting the oceans
blue
Clouds floating to
set sail
Gentle waves of wind
drifting
Sea of grass rising
and falling
Tree tops swaying in
flowing rhythm
Leaves dancing in
golden sunlight
Butterflies hiding
in secret places
Songbirds playing
follow the leader
Ticking of the kitchen
clock
Soul searching for
magical wishes

Merry-Go-Round
Calliope whistles and
the music plays.
Children race
to claim their steeds.
Painted favorites
are
galloping and keeping
time.
Sliding on their poles
while
going up and going
down.
Lonely, I stand
in a row of black
ponies.
My legs are bolted
to the floor
and I'm unable to
run.
Wishing I was a painted
favorite,
going up and down
with time.
Longing to know
that I really matter.
Yearning for someone
to show me that they
care.
Secret mysteries,
I dream each night.
Discovering the voice
of wisdom within.
Listen to your heart
and
believe in your hopes.
Celebrate
the magical surprises
of life.
Special purposes are
designed for your
creation.
Fulfilling the plan
only you can do.
Afraid of
the up and down, painted
horses.
A little girl rides
a black pony
that is standing in
a row.
