Dream On..

She walked into the doorway and stood for a while,
Her bright eyes searching
She did not know what it was or who she was looking for
Yet, proud and tall she stood.
Her feet were small but firm on the doorway,
Hard to fathom she was coming in or going away,
A silhouette of tenderness and strength
Her back to the storm raging outside..and In.
She could feel hopes rising and falling with every breath
Confidence in the image of her world waxing and waning
Did she want the world she was looking at.. or
Was it her dream she was trying to bring to life
Should she move in or just storm out.. battles within raging
She almost turned to leave..
She heard a tune.. a tune of rebellion
Stopped in her tracks by the unseen hand and unheard whisper
"You are not alone" is what she heard through the haze
Turning around she could see at far corner,
A man sitting near the bar.. looking intensely at her
His lips moving to the tune of life
Twinkle in his eyes she could see.. one she longed to see before
In that moment, the doorway vanished
His gaze holding her, and she breathed life
She could see her smile in his eyes, hear her whispers in his tune
Across the vast space, she could feel his hands on her's
And his arms holding her close

Promises were made in silence acceptance
Promises to be and to hold
To speak and to listen
To live and Dream On.....

Talks were drowned in deafening silence
Promises were broken without a second look
The gaze that held her and her dreams
Closed out and shattered the illusion

Blue Moon

Deep and dark are your secrets
Enfolding stories untold
Whispers and cries all entangled
Never in eternity to unfold

Lingering mist of night
Shroud of blackness abound
Darker by every passing shadow
As mysterious as Black Pearl running aground

You are Blue to the core
Yet surprisingly fleeting
Perhaps not willing to acknowledge
That you do not want hiding



Here you are alone
Is it blue still?
Shining over the horizon
Testimony to the unbroken will
