The Alternate Dream

Sky aglow in wonder

Celestial infinity

Forever… a mere moment

​Basking in fragility

Wandering, but not lost

Seeking, but still not found

Reaching for a distant star

Eternally bound

Luminous is the shining light

Not unlike my own

Gleaming in the distance

A place… called home

Wandering, but not lost

Seeking, but still not found

I ponder the alternate dream

Adrift amid its sound

The music a hushed lullaby

One with my heart

Entwining the soul-

To a timeless love…

Parallel worlds apart

Wandering, but not lost

Seeking, but still not found

Illuminating is the distant star

Eternally bound

 Poetry in Motion 

Glimpse is a poem that I wrote early on when I began writing.
The poem holds special meaning for me, as it was the first time I let myself feel completely free artistically in expressing my soul.
Ronald's gorgeous video of the horses running free is a lovely metaphor to the lyrics. And Kailani's (kuusound) beautiful vocals and soothing instrumentals touch the soul.
I so very much enjoyed collaborating with both of them and look forward to doing so again. Truly honored to be a part of this collaboration, thank you for making it a possibility.
Glimpse
I thought I saw your soul
gazing into mine
And for just the
briefest moment
I was somewhere
else in time
A place I'd forgotten
where memories
still remain
A place of long ago
where once
I spoke your name
Soaring high
above the sky
my heart skips
a beat, in the
feelings long
long denied
now suddenly,
let free...
I thought I saw your soul
gazing into mine
Alas, just a glimpse-
a memory lost in time

I have walked this road before
Searched in vain upon distant
shores...
Have kissed your lips a thousand times
Have held your hand- as you held mine
For you, are more than just
a feeling
You are memory
Awakened
Revealing
More than dream
you are to me
You are the love
I so longingly seek

Poetry

 

The day she stopped believing in dragons

Light hid in the shadows

For the sun once so bright

fell from the sky

And the moon hung low

Descending deep into the 

ebony sea ...where dreams,

were but mere wishes upon

the Nile flowing no more

And trees bent in silent

reverence

To the darkness 

Guided by memories of old

Illuminated only

 in the heartbeat

of a lone star-

never giving up hope

the dragon still soars

In search of home
