In the afternoon the wind brings the dust
clouds of it come up from the valley
to invade the silent streets
small animals hide in crevices
now we are all hunkered down
awaiting the quiet of dusk
In the mornings I walk the range
where the air is clear and cool
the city below glimmers
its metal rooved armor
protecting it from the glare
I toss a rock to the gods
and it tumbles out of sight below
shaking the cacti in its descent
this very afternoon the rains will come
then the hard spirit is lifted
with the quenching of the dust

Long to be in good shape long to be in good health
Long to feel good each and every day
No matter what the situation might be of my wealth
Long to be with good friends
Long to be where excitement is just around the bend
Long to be where I can suddenly feel a gentle summer wind
Long to be at a cafe where the piano music makes the food taste great
Long to be there knowing you might be few minutes late
Long to be on a first date as she arrives a few minutes after eight

To this song, amongst some others,
will you take my hand and dance with me ?
To feel your cheek against mine,
to graze your skin all over my own, Sweetie,
as you whisper love's timeless endearments
as sweet and deep as aged red wine ...
Will you dance with me slowly,
.... as you gently pull me closer...?
As I feel your beating heart so near,
when my own starts to flutter ever so faster ...
Will you dance with me
as you become my dearest Darling ... ?
When I sometimes will
that I could make Time stand still,
and just bask in your loving
which to the deepest part of me
blesses with indescribable thrill ...
Will you dance with me to this song
and some more other ...
so through the years , this flame in my heart
will not flicker out but, instead,
grow all the more stronger ...
So as I live through my life's remaining chapter,
I can put a period to its last sentence
with the sketch of a heart , in memory of my times
with my dearly beloved lover & partner ....

Seems like just yesterday, I wandered astray,
Caught in life's bittersweet journey, lost in disarray,
But lucks gentle hand intervened on a fateful day,
And there you were, my newfound heart's array.
In a crowded place, where strangers fill the air,
Your eyes thought they saw a spark so rare,
Senses heightened, the world faded away,
your words, to me spoke more than words should say.
With every exchange, a simple truth unfolded,
The immediate connection, relentlessly emboldened,
We're charting new territories, casting away doubt,
The undeniable pull, there's no turning back now.
Chance serendipity, destiny or fate
Our souls collided, time suspended in space,
A cosmic dance, an intoxicating trance,
Oh, that lucky meeting that bestowed our chance.
Together, we now dance on this tightrope of fate,
Bathed in the glow of love, forever we'll vibrate,
Oh, lingering serendipity, our hearts forever entwined,
Maybe testament to the beauty that destiny designed.

Love's procession high
the carnival train returns
turning of the wheel
Sketching in the dust
mountains and rivers abound
two birds on a stone
Meadows in the spring
a golden hour of blossom
fragrance on the wind
