CALM WATER

Cover your eyes see only darkness
Find your dreams drifting further down
Look inside your heart try to find all
Bright the light shines upon new desires

Free to discover what is real
Finding comfort in joy and touch
Gentle, strong passionate life affirming
Eyes of understanding ignites fire again

Stepping into a calm water
Drifting on such a sweet level
So unfamiliar and stirring deep
A soul being touched within spirit

Drifting into memories of times past
Letting go of what was and wasn't
Trying to define happiness of today
Looking deeply within to find discovery

Time continues on yet not linear
Dancing upon the timeline past to present
How does one allow for forgiveness comfort
Without letting go feelings of a rejecting pain

Loving so painful when so new
Seemingly colored by bright hues
Eyes shine in the night to connect
Spirits combine in sweet essence
Finding we choose what we want
Essentially a cherished being
Finally really truly seeing.....
