love garden

watched a plane fly by behind the clouds
they rolled in, in different shapes and sizes
traveled down this love street
stumbled through all the clutter
bare feet
I like to feel the Earth
climbing trees made out of boxes
and iridescent leaves
lye on the branches and take a nap
dreamt of white rapids
that turned into warm streams
made a bamboo raft
and floated to the sound of drums in the distance
no particular destination
just somewhere where love is true
and peaceful eyes look beyond the clutter
into what's real.
A solid hand
and a groovy man
greet me.
We meander with easy smiles
breezy breath
silky skin.
It smells fresh, like morning dew
We dance in the moon lit forest
and make a garden
out of love...

today

I am Love.
I am strength
I am in charge
while things fall into place
I am Free
So Free
Everyday I notice something
SPECTACULAR!

perspective

when it comes
it never plays out like you planned
disappointment
seems like a blow to who you are
seems like maybe you could have done it differently.
BUT
have faith my friend
behind that darkening light
is opportunity
A new path
one that would have been missed
had things stayed the same.
Recognize change
as the way things are supposed to be.
You are because I am.
I am because I live with open eyes.
I live with an open heart
and I welcome the darkness
because I know without it
there could be no light.

Ryan

Dreamt I swam through murky
water and made friends
with a wide-mouthed fish
He had a brilliant smile
Made my eyes twinkle.




Experience. Freedom. Love. Now.

new phase

i guess sometimes it's easy to lose faith
my face
looks unfamiliar
eyes crossed and possibly
changing colors
try to
re-discover
my center.
down below
underneath
all this freakin mess
sick of all this rest
wanna run around
and break a sweat
see how to get
from here to there
without all the meds
call the feds
the crohny needs arrested

move it

this is
one
spot
you
are
not
allowed
this
is
the
time
the
time
is
now
cannot
say
cannot
make
a
change
if
you
don't
like
it
re-arrange
brain
stops
working
if
you
don't
turn
the
wheels
oh
man
look
what
happened
forgot
what's
real
tic
toc
tic
toc
ferris wheel...
