possessed with kindness
unequaled in generosity
to have met you, we're blessed
so endlessly
you are the epitome of courage
you are a salt of the earth
humanity is enhanced
because of your presence
I can't stop thanking you
a dear friend it is so true
how lucky we are to have known you

now please enjoy and celebrate
the wonderful day of your birth.

Happy birthday again my dear friend..
until we meet again.

Thinking, oh, how good it was! Thinking on this New Year’s eve,
Thank you, friends, for taking time, speaking high about me,
Many kind and gracious words may be thus addressed to thee,
You’re my refuge and my ties with the world outside of me.

Thanks for all the good you've done and for more you are to give,
Toast of joy let’s lift to us, toast to luck in joyful glee!
New Year’s coming, we're on eve, let us wish ourselves good things,
Let’s be joyful at a time when our planet takes its leap
To a new and wondrous start! New Year’s coming! Let it be!!!

So vividly I recall love's song she sang
The gentle humming of the surf to my soul
The majestic waves washing o're me gently
Filling my heart with an ecstasy unbeknownst
Sorrowfully now tis certain love's song is ended
Disintegrated as surely as the rock to sand
The once busily babbling waters
Rushing swiflty down the stream
Now merely a gaping dusty hole
reminding me of a love that can never be
That same old melody, haunting me taunting
Echoing over and over again through my mind
As I sink deeper and deeper into the abyss
I in a futile attmept
At some sort of recognizance
Succumb to the only reminders of love lost
The hollowness in my heart
And the heady scent of lilac after a rain.

Mom got up early and is in the kitchen
Preparing the breakfast for everyone
Dad's still in the bathroom and is shaving
And the beat of life goes on

The kids are busy getting set for school
One is still trying to get homework done
The others are taking things really cool
And the beat of life goes on

Now all sit around the breakfast table
To fuel themselves for the day's action
Each consumes what he or she is able
And the beat of life goes on

Dad leaves the home for his workplace early
Mom patiently checks the kids one by one
To ensure that for school each is ready
And the beat of life goes on

Dad is at work earning his salary
Kids are at school getting education
Mom is at home with some chores she's busy
And the beat of life goes on

It's suppertime now for the family
And it's filled with lively conversation
Each one partakes of the meal heartily
And the beat of life goes on

After supper, mom tidies the kitchen
Then joins the rest watching television
Later, for next day each starts preparing
And the beat of life goes on

The kids get busy with their assignment
Mom and Dad continue to linger on
They chat a bit about now the day went
And the beat of life goes on

Then finally they all head off to bed
For much needed sleep and relaxation
To refresh each for the new day ahead
And the beat of life goes on

Mom got up early and is in the kitchen

And the beat of life goes on

'Twas a curious horse of course
who ran round amok with great force
He had on his blinders
and rolled on his hinders
Cuz he'd crashed the mini-golf course~

Cornerless cubes descend perfect transitions...
Landing in perfect positions...
Geometrical-shapeshifter sick tragic visions...
In flawless conditions...

Rigid-bodied dynamics succeed...
Tipless triangles, lines in between...
Square circles...
Round rectangles...
Nothing is ever quite what it seems....

Will you walk with me into forever
Holding my hands without time
We'll ride Halley's comet to the dark side of the moon
where you don't need air to feel alive

We can fly without wings over the Earth
Showering the planets with joy
Skipping from one star to the next
Until we reach the one I remembered as a young boy

It was the first one I saw when I was a child
The one shining so bright in the sky
And I made a wish as simple as this
I wished that I would be here with you in Heaven tonight

Will you come join me at the table
Of the universe sipping silver moon light
There is a trap door in the sun a quiet place just for us
Where our passion ignites fires to bring worlds to life

Tired from my climb out of the water
I crawled onto a lily pad
Trying to balance with a little totter
Feeling more than slightly sad

I had left all my friends at the bottom
Nature telling I needed to leave
Yes the view up here is awesome
Although leaving friends I do grieve

I made a promise I would return
But wait – my body is changing
I need to tell them what happens up here
I now have wings and am flying

I am now all these beautiful fluorescent colors


I need to return to tell the good news
But all I can do is skim the water in flutters
Look up – lookup through the water and peruse

We come from the bottom of the earth
Then are called to the surface
Going through a transformation and rebirth
For a whole new life and purpose

Look up – look up above and see
God has given us a new body in life
Look up and see how beautiful you will be
You will leave the darkness too and arise

TOWARDS YOURSELF

When being in the darkest depths of Hell,
When you are saddened and your luck is blown,
Forge the burning coal of Sadness into a ladder
and walk right out of there on your own!

When walking ,without a road ahead, is crushing you,
surrounding you with four restraining walls
from all the shattered roads you once had walked onto,
build a brand new path and pursuit your goals.

When the world is fading in your eyes
and darkness slowly blurs your sight to black,
Create a sun yourself and from its beams,
embrace the last one - it will take you back.

The mystery of life is blind and thorny,
it takes it all and crucifies our souls.
With all belongings lost , YOURSELF KEEP ONLY,
'cause that's the only way to reach your goals!

I posted this in 2013 and felt the urge of posting it again.

Under my username as Summerwind, (aka windyweatherly), which I replaced in honor of the person who meant so much to me then.

With special thanks to Ondos who created this video.

Dedicated to all those in pain, like me and those who make the difference like my friend, Tess and Reguiny. Phil you taught me a lot and I am blessed to have met and be your friend.

Forever grateful,

Phyllis
