deepens,
light leans closer,
caressing edges
with a lingering touch
light and shadow
moving like lovers,
each breathing life
into the other
deepens,
light leans closer,
caressing edges
with a lingering touch
light and shadow
moving like lovers,
each breathing life
into the other
a place where longing leans toward light
they find one another
stretching long in the late sun,
they cross and mingle,
they part,
and sometimes join again
a simple thing,
like wind in the grass,
or the hush of footsteps in fallen leaves
a place where longing leans toward light
they find one another
stretching long in the late sun,
they cross and mingle,
they part,
and sometimes join again
a simple thing,
like wind in the grass,
or the hush of footsteps in fallen leaves
for those of us
who need one
for those of us
who need one
the hardest part was knowing
this wasn’t just an intermission,
but a final act, a quiet closing
Hearts, they bleed,
crafted for the bittersweet,
foolish to think love never fades,
yet still we danced, believing in forever

caught between the echoes of here and there,
I am the embodiment of limbo’s embrace
yearning
for a place beyond this restless state,
just another soul looking for a way to feel alive
in a place that’s not quite here, not quite there
caught between the echoes of here and there,
I am the embodiment of limbo’s embrace
yearning
for a place beyond this restless state,
just another soul looking for a way to feel alive
in a place that’s not quite here, not quite there
as light is to dark
one gives shape,
the other gives form,
in their embrace,
both calm and storm
as light is to dark
one gives shape,
the other gives form,
in their embrace,
both calm and storm
the way the sea is simple, like the quiet between waves.
Sometimes that's enough.
And sometimes it's the calm before the storm, when every whisper of the wind teases…

And sometimes it's the calm before the storm, when every whisper of the wind teases…
but sometimes a picture works too
but sometimes a picture works too
a memory remains
a memory remains
as if they were mere whispers in a crowded room
unencumbered by the weight, the essence of the song transcended its words, speaking in a language that needed no translation

shadows gently sway on snow
Like stars, their distant fires bright,
hearts warm in the frost kissed night
Moon guards love in stillness, light
shadows gently sway on snow
Like stars, their distant fires bright,
hearts warm in the frost kissed night
Moon guards love in stillness, light
The clouds, in silence, heard her quest, and in their glow, her heart found rest
The clouds, in silence, heard her quest, and in their glow, her heart found rest
carrying stories
that weave a tapestry
of belonging
and whispers in the dark
while I stand at the edges,
admiring the art

to your heart.
to your heart.
to dark,
sweet respite set aside
to burn alone

sweet respite set aside
to burn alone
missed
fell to the ground
instead
the moon just
laughed,
rolled her eyes,
shook her head

beauty in the midst of disorder

scattered
across a sea of crystal white sand

Through eons past, love's flame burned bright,
but in this life, a fleeting sight
A wisp of smoke, elusive and thin,
you slipped through my fingers, like a whisper in the wind,
leaving me yearning for your elusive light

A sanctuary of solace,
a sacred space of rest,
where melodies of the heart, in whispers, softly blend
A haven where dreams, like flickering flames,
unfurl in the dark, where hopes and aspirations transcend
