Poem: The Star

Into the Forest a star fell from the night

To find it we ran like the wind through the trees

Branches they grabbed us bramble tore at my sleeves

On the roots we stumbled I tripped and fell

Then lying before us light silvery blue

Your eyes they sparkled then through the dew

You reached out embracing that distant clear light

I caught your glimmer sparkling bright

Then together we gazed into each other’s sight

Yes, it was love that we found on that deep starry night.

Which came with a flash

Sent from heaven above

To wrap us in magic to give us the love.

Poem: The Seed

“Once in a golden hour

I cast to earth a seed.

And up there grew a flower

That others called a weed.”

Alfred Lord Tennyson

That yellow flower they called a weed

Grew from a seed called my need

Which in that hour of golden glow

Was a gift of wisdom, of words we know

Thrown to the earth from my aching heart

Watered by tears I’d had to part

Here grew a thought, a plant so fine

With leaves of silky texture mine

That flower of joy of love of me

Those petals of gold the sun did see

To share to offer and give away

From pain was born this warm new day.

The Face

You awake, in the future that I am about to begin

You have sewn the seeds of my future deeds

Have made the start to heal a heart

Of the life I live within

It’s about that place I mean to go

Can only reach when I grow

Grow beyond my familiarity with me

Discovery

It’s where I’m growing too

It’s how I’m knowing too

It’s another, other side of my face

Where it’s give share love and happiness

You awake in the future I’m about to begin

Take my hands

Pull me up away from the tears the pain the rain

Start the new

Begin the game

Let leave the old

Transform my pain.
