Memory - Barbra Streisand

Sometimes someone else can express better than I can....

Christmas

Sometimes we find ourselves
in a melancholy blue, forgetful
of the treasures that life gives
to me and you.

The dreams that carry us through
the night in hopes that reality
will follow with delight.

The skies are bluer, the clouds
a calm puffy white and there
is where I invite you to dance
the night.

The greatest gift we can be given at the holidays is life with health. What we choose to do with the gift is unique to each person. Some people toss it aside, others try to exchange it and than there is the one who are greedy, try to keep the gift to themselves and then we have the re-gifters, who go about trying to pass on this gift of life. But in reality it's the people who dare to open the package and see that every moment and everyday is magical and through our trials and triumphs we get a glimpse of our most important Christmas gift.
I think people like to take Christ's birthday out of context. His gifts of peace are our gifts of peace. Each person has in them the ability to pass on the gift of love and peace.

Love is magical
it lives within in us all,
some try to bury it and
others ignore its call.

Peace is the blessing that
see's our through the day
reminds us that we are
in procession in a limited
way.

Merry Christmas to all~

Shield the heart
to stop the pain,
fallen teardrops
without any aim.

No more Song

No more music, no more song,
without the heart,no more wrong,
as castles of love disappear.

No more heartache, no more blues,
I won't let that control through,
free the day I let you go.

No more music, no more song,
without the heart, no more wrong
as castles of love disappear.

My Soul on canvas, "Pictorial Prose": Another Version of life is not always black and wh...: This is one of my favorite sketches of Audrey's, Nothing is ever simple, so comes into play the colors of life. I find the picture to...

I'll sing a song... my love , I'll sing for you, for you are my forever and in my heart you'll stay

I know what my heart felt is true
and the love I have for you.

I know the dreams cast a love story
and a tale or two.

I know my forever is my soul
bonded to you.

I know i'ts real, the love I feel,
I hold it close to me as I hold
you in my heart.

I know it's real, the love I feel,
I hold it close to me as I hold
you in my heart.

Happy Holidays

Closure, acceptance, truth, reality, peace and happiness. Well get that all in one breath. Closure, the most difficult emotion that I have  yet to come across. Closure means bringing something to and end. I have brought closure, I have accepted that time period as what it is, a learning experience. Acceptance is much more difficult, because the line is fuzzy and we are not clear what we should accept. Truth, it is rare we can get it from anyone else, but the truth lay within us. I accept was is as the truth of my being. Reality is what we think it is, my reality is that the journey has many mountains. You get over one you find yourself at the bottom of another, we call this life. Peace, we wish it for the world, but truly peace does start with one and becomes contagious.

Taking it Back

I was once told "you are only a victim if you allow yourself to be." I declared that today I am taking back my life. I was grasping as if there was something in the darkness. But I have come to understand that I needed to reach inward to surface above the negativity. I shall never feel that pain again...

Intimate whispers

Years of tears

gave him the power.

I still feel lost

as if running in circles.
