It feels like I am walking
Down a path when suddenly
Everything just disappears
The path, the trees, the flowers, The sky, the sun, the bees
Everything is all gone
And I keep walking along
Like I had been there before.

What is simple anymore
Long paddles down rocky shorelines
Light winds and little waves
Cedar roots clinging to life
Struggling to survive
Solitude and nature
Strength and struggles
Clinging to life, clinging to hope
A piece of bone or pottery
Long discarded
A long time ago
Washed smooth
A once jagged edge
Worn down by time
Resting in the sand

Whatever will happen must happen
Make it happen

Prior to this universe, is the universe of love...
look at all the uproar scene and great crowd, for the deliberation and disturbance of that love...

This body will turn to dust
There’s nothing left
We can do no more
I’ve given it my best
So many high points
Not much room to spare
What gets the best of me
Every time beyond compare
A smile that greets me warmly
A hand when help is needed
A cocky smile all the while
Is better left conceded
The body will drown
When we’re cut off from air
Do we still do what we dare
Sometimes beyond compare
That delicate act the first time
I rode without training wheels
Down the somewhat smooth sidewalk
In my memory banks reveal
A time when I could feel
Such Joy ! Such Warmth !
Everyday is just a moment
Time will travel on
I just give you my greatest
Blessings of all time

And crabs
out on the flats
gazing, dipping, flittering under the gathering stars
water coils
laughter from the shore

Im so proud of you my love
Humbled by what you can create
Pleased by how you see the world
Immensely impressed by your kindness
Awed by your understanding and wisdom
Lifted by your courage and strength
In great admiration of your drive and energy to have a better life
Your endless and selfless generosity towards others
Family or strangers
I'm simply blessed as your mother
Your commitment to grow and change
And on and on
I am around you always
learning more as a student of life because of you.
You are the epitome of humility yet acceptance that adversity creates a strong character to be good in many ways.
We are blessed, your brother and sisters, your dad, and everyone around you
Specially your one and only son, my Jaxon Jaymes, I am truly humbled.
I love you
Always,

Love is so simple, but also so complex to define!
For it goes ahead and the person comes after!
Oh dear! Isn't that really complex to understand?
Oh yes, make it simple one would say, but not listen!
Here's to the person who sits and tries to understand
Love is so giving and not expecting, love is caring
Love always puts the other persons expectation before one's own!
It's not selfish, nor conceited, love is not being vulgar
Not being raspy, arrogant or haughty in expression
But tender and watchful and complacent, sympathetic and
Empathetic and mending the faults, rather than highlighting and
Stressing the shortfalls, or shortcomings of a person!
It's basically being humble in your relationship with the other
When the world seems like heaven 'cos you're in love
Love with everything and anything around and
Peace reigns within your soul to love!

I got stung
By the bug of self expression
Woke up
In the middle of the night
Thirsty for words
The broth of sparkling booze
Was gushing
Out of the wound
I tasted it and got drunk
Kept spiraling
Instead of walking a straight line
Lost my words in the noise
Realized that I had to
Take things silli-ously
And went grazing
In the pastures of pleasure

Remember December
Nights bite off from days
Minute by minute
Trees stretch naked branches into grey sky
Begging for sunshine
Grey streets, grey air soaked with rain
It gets quiet when snow falls
The parachutes of show flakes
Not in a hurry to touch the ground
Whirl and weave the white cover
That buries the past and smooths edges
The amber of candlelight warms the dark
Inertia of living lets us pass
Over the hump of solstice
Soon the days will be getting longer
