~* World of Words *~

We live in a world of Words
Searching for the perfect way
to say what is deep inside.
Wanting to be heard,
When there are not eyes to see,
When there are not ears to hear,
When there are only our fingers
pressing out the words
Like feet stomping grapes to make fine wine.

We search deep within for the song of words
that resides deep within.

We hope and pray that someone will see them
As the melody we attempt to bring forth.
Music played with emotion can be felt by all.

Our words filled with ... Us,
trying so hard to convey what we feel deep inside,
So many ways to say the right thing,
So many ways to be misunderstood,
Can we make a melody
or only a song never understood?

*~* Beginnings *~*

This story starts like all good stories do ...
Once upon a time...
Long, long ago
A search began.

I wanted to know
What was out there ...
I wanted to know
Who was out there ...

I found a land of a Black Sun
And I lingered there ...
Alone,
A wanderer
In a strange land.

I met a Nomad
And we became
More than friends.
His words, lost in his soul,
The shimmery sparkly
Excitement of glass
Gone for me.

I became his muse;
He became mine.
His words crept slowly forth
Into a torrent of stories.
We shared them
Adding and subtracting
To and for each other.

My eyes found the light.
My fingers cut and shaped
Once more.
We were happy.

But nothing is ever really hidden
And ... She found our words,
Words meant only for each other
And she took him from me
That very day.

Not one word of good bye.
Just gone.
Who knew this sharing of only words
Could cut so cruelly when taken
So quickly away?
I knew.

Slowly, very slowly,
Cautiously
I ventured forth again
Watching, wondering,
Alone again.

I found a Dreamer
Of the most special kind
Filled with Magic and Wonder,
A Knight from a new land.

I took his hand and he led me there.
The world is divided up into Meridians
And I had found mine.

He was my Galahad;
Truly he was ...
With White Knights
All around him.

He asked for my hand
On bended knee.
In shock and surprise
I blinked and agreed.

He was patient and kind.
He and his Knights
Taught me the ways
And I lived in happy bliss.

Time passed as time tends to do,
Sometimes quickly, sometimes so slowly.
And then one day he led me
Through a new portal to a new land,
A world just for us
Of Dreamers and Angels.
Time surrounded us;
The past and the future merged.

It was an Active World.
They gave me a city to rule.
Many came and we thrived
But the wicked witches of that land
Did not care to be less
And they took away my city
On a dark and windy day.

We fled away into the dark
In tears and disbelief
But as one door closes
The light from another shines forth.

Dreamers must dream.
They cannot be held
And a new land appeared.

We went on a forever quest
In a land of trees and elves.
A new and larger guild,
Dashain, was born and grew.

New quests came and left;
New lands opened for us.
Then ... I quested again alone.
He had found his true love.

Discouraged, sad and lonely
I longed for a second chance,
A second life.
They say search and you will find
And it was true!

A new world.
A new me.
New lands.
Friends to find and love.

Words and life
Are meant for sharing
And again in space and time
I found mine.
~*~
Never the ending only another beginning.

~* Tick Tock *~

Tick tock, tick tock.
Have you noticed that
Time can stop or go much faster
Depending on the time and place?

Tick tock, tick tock.
We searched, we looked, and then we found,
A new world with a second chance,
A time to change anything,
A perfect world,
A perfect us!

Tick tock, tick tock.
Time stops...
Old or young?
It does not matter.
Fat or thin?
No one cares!

Tick tock, tick tock.
Now we can be perfect,
The way we always knew we were.
Dark and handsome?
Young and beautiful?
Male or female?
Anything we ever wanted...
Anything!

Tick tock, tick tock.
If we can choose anything,
If we can be anyone,
Why are those that
Still don't care?

Tick tock, tick tock.
If we show the world
The us inside,
Why should we not be
All that we can be?

Tick tock, tick tock.
So little time, so little money,
So little effort is all it takes
For each of us to now become
The special dream
That makes us... Us!

~*~ A Lost Dream ~*~

Once upon a time in a land far away
There lived a lord... A lord of doom.
He tired of all the empty bodies
And succumbed to forests bloom.

He searched for towers of leafy green.
Each one that passed his rigid test
And suited deep his passion's plight
He gently carried to its final nest.

He long had tired of keeping death
And now he planted life instead.
Each tenderly set in the good earth
As once he placed the mournful dead.

His wife long gone to lands unknown
Returned to find her land and spouse.
She filled their home with all her things
And wove she did an overflowing house.

The lord and wife were notified
That they must begin to modify.
The Lord with angst cut down his trees
And to land and title said good bye.

In that far off forgotten land
If you walk along the paths of stone
You see the hedge enclosing home
But wife inside resides alone.

"Enough" he said as he departed.
His dream lives on to start anew
To seek another land, another title?
Surely, there is more to come and to do.

*~ Not the End... Only the beginning. ~*

(Thanks to my mentor, my muse, my editor and my best friend
for all the help he gives me everyday in everyway.)

My forever home

The forest surrounds me.
It holds me in its green leafy embrace.
It called me here away from sand and sun.
Ancient mountains called me home.

A powerful vortex opens here
Into a doorway to another dimension,
Mysterious and Magical,
Into a new time and space.

Clocks accelerate
As kindred spirits and I
Dance on the currents
Of a new Universal existence.

Did synchronicity, serendipity, or synergy
Draw us to this land of promise
To live in a State of mind:
"To be, rather than to seem"?

I live at an apogee of flux
encompassing creativity and spirituality.
My heart, mind, and being
Resonate with this land.

A mystical doorway opens
Into another dimension
Of my ever-changing
Universe, my forever home.
