Time Persuades

Time persuades our past to fade
though aging colors hold
stories told, some new, some old
hands played while others fold
What conceals these thoughts revealed
the canvas or the ink
none to know the highs and lows
or depths to which we sink
Dreams survive in jaded eyes
comprising colored shades
thoughts to dance as hearts romance
a glance before it fades
Captured time invoke remind
tell tales wrote on the soul
time persuades our past to fade
though aging colors hold

Winds Are Sudden Shifting

Winds are sudden shifting
lifting spirits in their wake
waters ripple in and out
and circle back in place
Everything connected
perspective here is key
only for a moment comes
a time for you and me
Ever fading colors
shading fall away to spring
winds are sudden shifting
connecting everything
Time of no relation
to a heart that knows it's place
praying for a little more
til sleep comes swiftly grace
Every second made to taste
so drink the wine of living
waters ripple in and out
and winds are sudden shifting

In The Arms of Morning

In the arms of morning

wrapped adrift in love's delight

skin to skin as thoughts begin

descent from starry night

Here in daylight's dawning

yawning off in distant dreams

she is everything I want

and nothing that she seems

Tight to hold to heaven

time to pass those moments will 

linger close as seconds froze

and there they remain still 

Love to flame those pictured frames

like dreams are taking flight

in the arms of morning

wrapped adrift in love's delight

Spirit's Fruits

Spirit's fruits are resolute
for those who dare believe
time a dance we all must chance
with hope to interweave
Rising sun with dreams begun
as daylight breaks the dark
turning face to swift embrace
and on the journey start
Moments held with minutes meld
like stories on the soul
tucked away for trying days
released to his control
Guiding light let fears take flight
hold fast as sands do fall
spirit's fruits are resolute
believe and that is all

Waves Caress and Slide

Shadows dance in happenstance
while waves caress and slide
echoes play and fade away
and time itself divides
Stark serene with fiery dreams
as midnight's passions play
salt to blend with sandy skin
and night to burn away
Sparks abound and all around
the dark does come alive
where shadows dance in happenstance
and waves caress and slide

Kiss of Winter's Morning

Kiss of winter's morning
frost adrift on pines to play
burdened backs to pop and crack
to lean and stretch and sway
All the while in wintry style
did night give fall to grace
passing clouds invoke enshroud
the falling snow's embrace
Here upon a sea of white
does light come sparkle play
the kiss of winter's morning
warming up to fade away

Whispers Tell of Moments Held

Whispers tell of moments held
like paintings on the soul
storied peak designed unique
as colors ebb and flow
Portraits held not meant unveiled
'cept those the canvas knows
whispers tell of moments held
like paintings on the soul
Linger still as time reveals
the truth behind its breadth
wonder more for what's in store
than moments we have left
Whisper now as passing clouds
paint too on skies and meld
passion's flow to canvas go
into those moments held
