Day 365

She was in love with the whole world
He was trying to find the world and saw her
The wind in her hair, the way she twirled
Free visions that began to stir

Dreams were drenched that wonder year
In sounds that only spoke in color
Side by side there, they knew no fear
Delighting in shaking the rule they were under

And so it was they were caught in an array of tales
That were not planned in any way at all
Filling the wind of their childish sails
Slowly daring to break down the wall
They made beautiful mistakes in the town
That leaked in tears across the pages of time
Started by wicked joys that pulled the stars down
Turning every moment into the perfect rhyme

He watched her with the eyes of awe, no words to speak
She lived the only way she knew, in love with the world, not a person
The day turned into many a sunshine bleached week
In those days the creativity had only just begun

So he went about capturing the moon
Just that she may reveal its strange light
All they said was with the essence of a tune
One that darkened day and illumined night

Seasons waxed and waned in time with growing
Sunflowers once green as emeralds began to droop
Less was given space, and they stopped knowing
Once inspiring moments could be found on loop

But the golden days returned in fields of hope
That flung words into the sky of freedom
Stringing beads, words and places upon the rope
That lasso-ed the wonders of their kingdom

And now the photographer with the poet at his side
Is pulling forward the messages of rhythmic deeds
Together they fade into the horizon, as the ocean’s tide
Destined to leave a healthier ground for inspiration’s seeds

Day 307 - Tire Swing

Push me until I am very dizzy
Wind brushing my hair so frizzy
Into an ever crazier spiral
Reminding one of times tribal
When we as an entity beat our feet to a drum
And echoed the earth's own thundering hum
With our voices squealing laughter
In the domain of happily ever after

Day 142 - Children's Games



What do you see?
They say, they squeal
As we watch the wide expanse
How does it look?
How would it feel?
They wonder, watching lights dance

They form great wings
Some shout out, excited
You gaze harder, too grown up to see
The fans speed changes a shape
And they watch, delighted
Trying to discover what else it may be

Your old eyes catch a glint now
But on the faces of the children
Not in the shadows above
With their faces arched up
You miss how you were back then
Innocent, eyes glowing with love
