Some people flicker, fly across my universe
like shooting stars, so bright so brilliant, fleeting,
they illuminate my life, so suddenly, exciting me,
my soul shines forth, my heart intensely beating

These glistening gems awaken something dormant,
deep inside of me, awaken hopes I've lost,
and joys I used to feel, and songs once silent
sound once more, and petals to adorn my path are tossed

Oh shooting stars, awaken me, and let me see your light
Oh shining gems across my soul, illuminate my nig… Continue

In my neat little package of poetry
With words wrapped in ribbons of rhyme
I want to express, I want to confess
I'm so glad you entered my time

There is no mere chance or circumstance
For a Guide across time and space
Only invites us to the dance
But we must choose to embrace

So we're given the roads that cross
To touch a time or two
But making this gain or loss
Is up to me and you

And some touch on the surface
And some pass in the night
But some souls join in a deep caress
And hold on long a… Continue

Along the journey of my life
Amidst the pleasures and the strife
Many people have appeared
And vanished in the wake

As sea shells on the shifting sands
Admired and cherished in my hands
Then washed away by waves of fate
Not mine to keep or take

Forgotten gems upon the shore
A mere remembrance, nothing more
A moment’s joy and then they’re gone
And life for me goes on

Yet some I find and hold, and never
Release my grasp, but keep forever
Safe in my hand and heart they stay
And never go away

Across the realms of time and space
People pass in the night
And sometimes at the break of day
We share a moment of light

Souls touch, hearts unite
Sorrows turn to laughter
Weeping ceases, joy ensues
This is "happily-ever-after"

Sounds never heard before
Colors never seen
Light and Love everywhere
Surrounding everything

A quiet calm prevails
A never-ending bliss
Scars made by nails
A Savior's Kiss

I raise my eyes and squint to see
Silhouetted in the sun
A man who reaches out to me
My soul becomes undone

Unraveled by his questions
Confused yet strangely warmed
He awakens doubts inside of me
Then silences the storm

As thunder rages in my soul
A perfect calm ensues
Do you desire to be made whole?
What would you have me do?

The challenge of His voice
The possibility
Can I just make a choice?
What gift is this for me?

Is this just idle talk?
Some cruel mockery?
He beckons, “Rise and Walk!”… Continue
