quietly...

Never quite knowing what I was looking for. Hoping only that in my blindness, I wouldn't stumble by it.

Does a heart know beyond a doubt that the missing piece is found? The road to you has been long and often lonely

watching...

Knowing others have traveled this path before me and had no better luck, I continued

What makes a soul go on when all odds seem against it when everything its ever touched, failed

Hoping...

that through it all, if it was deserved, something wonderful might happen

And then, in walked you

My entire life has changed. In all my imaginings, I never could have dreamed up you

While I sat beneath a tree one old man came to speak with me

We talked about his glory days and how this world has changed its ways

He felt his time was drawing near but as we spoke his heart was clear

He wondered if he'd left his mark or lit a path that once seemed dark

As his story was slowly told I knew his dreams had not been sold

His light still shone from deep within. All I could do was sit and grin

Before he left me there that day I assured him his mark was here to stay

Then sounds of laughter filled the air and the river sang without a care.

Soft music and warm embraces candlelight and glowing faces crackling fire... how my heart races

I remember days when wine and roses didn't matter. When passion's sparks burned brighter. A time when hearts were lighter

Entire nights glorying in each other, when nothing seemed to bother. Trembling... underneath the cover

When mountain tops were for making love. Nights spent watching the stars above and babies cooed like a morning dove

I remember all of this

.....and i remember us

Seasons

Misty days
and cool nights
summer's over
fall's delight.

Colors change
to warm glows
Winter's cold
soon to show.

Seasons change
Circles turn
quiet times
hearts will learn

Darkness comes
without fear
promised light
always near

Spring will come
dawn will break
bringing hope
life awakes

Awakening to a quiet dawn
as the sun slowly takes the sky
The horizon fills with colors
All reflected in her eyes

Dew covered grasses gently cling
as she moves in the morning mists
Whispering her love for you
the softest smile upon her lips.

Bird song fills the quiet morn
as she turns to greet the day
The joy that comes with loving
Also lights her way

It wraps itself around her
as the miles all melt away
singing softly on the breeze
its in his love she bathes

Even when her arms can't reach
they share the same blue sky
Along with their dreams for tomorrow
is a hope that just won't die

Holding tight his heart stone
she warms it in her hands
Then looking to the golden dawn
she remembers all thier plans

Smokey Mountains

He never ceases to amaze me
with the beauty He creates
Places all the around our world
left to remind us of His grace

The road may twist and turn a bit
but each coener's worth the wait
Foe peace in the Smokey Mountains
you'll never be too late.

The forest reminds me so of home
rather, the place I spent my life.
Where the water's clear and wildflowers bloom
and the trees seems to touch the sky.

Sunshine filters through the leaves
turning the world a golden green.
places like this are meant to be felt
ith your soul they must be seen.

It's magic wraps around your heart
and holds you safe inside
away from all of mankind's grief
sitting underneath His sky
