As I gaze upon the windy sky…
I see in the breeze…
My dreams yet to be caught…
And as I reach…
I wonder of reasons…
Why the heart breaks…
Why do we fall…
What compels us to reach at all…
The essence of being…
Swallowing us whole…
Like the stars in the night…
Filling the sky…
All so bright as they twinkle their light…
Filling my soul, each one a dream…
So many to catch, so many I see…
Standing alone under those stars…
They begin to speak…
Touching my heart…
One of them says I am strength…
Another one says I am courage…
And yet another one says I am wisdom…
The fourth star said I am forgiveness…
And all through the night each star directed me…
Twinkling bright and giving me advice…
Showing me the reasons why we reach…
The last star of the night that spoke to me said I am love…
And upon waking the next morning…
A warmth of happiness rushed through my heart…
The universe became mine…
Each dream within reach…
No more borders…
No more limits…
No more falling…
Only rising with strength…
With courage, and with love through the adversity of it all…

I spend my days in quiet contemplation… / All with memories in the maze of my thoughts… / Tender kisses and those special touches… / The puffy white clouds I reach to touch… / Gentle words and…
Scorching heat from the sky above… / Passions burning… / White doves all about… / Clouds forming… / The horizon close to touch… / Shadows forming… / A burst of rain… / White doves cry……
tears streaming… / alone in the night… / emotions escape me… / tethered and tainted… / a moment of thought… / reflections of heart… / the emptiness holds me… / shattered dreams… / with…
I remember your radiant beauty when we walked hand in hand under the shinning moonlight on a cool summers night… I remember the days when only you could comfort my spirit… I remember…
