A Little Piece of Heaven

Let me show you a piece of heaven

where angels have never tread

There's no need to be frightened

no need to be filled with dread

Take my hand and I will lead you

out of the darkness of your mind

Take my hand you know you want to

Let's leave the banal world behind

There is no short cut to paradise

but the journey is half the pleasure

so bring your fey soul and weary eyes

and your fickle heart for good measure

I Wrote You A Poem

I wrote you a poem (left unread)

So I wove you a dream instead

I caught the wind in the forest

And chased the rain on the river

I collected dew from the dawn

And captured the gentle quiver

of lilting birdsong in the morn

 I spun heaven into your dreams

with bits of sky ever so blue

And wisps of silvery moonbeams

Spun with stars and a twilight hue

I wrote a poem for you

Nothing to cling to

Nothing to give or take

No keepsake

Rose

Crossing Over

The day darkeners sing
Prayer beads click-click
A rhythmic requiem
in harmonic cadence
Gathering the gloom

On the ancient spirit shelf
Waning candles splutter
Shadows dither and waver
fragile fragments of the past
seeking refuge in the dark

Roused by the waxing moon
The Silent Knowing sighs
It is time for the crossing
The ultimate passage
To the river of heaven
