This rain I started long ago,
when I dreamed of an ocean wave,
that took my dreams to sky,
to meet the moon,
I feared sun for tiny wishes,
they knew not how to fly,
and yet, that warmth
brought back all tenderness
on velvet heartbeats.
I followed the first wave,
I floated
beyond horizon and the love,
I found my island among waves and felt
home had been waiting there
for me,
flowers knew step and sighs,
each petal came into another dream,
each song
took voice closer
to soul.
***
What changed when I looked deep,
what took storm back inside,
was it the doubt,
the way to question what had been,
memories deep inside
hidden behind a wall
of tears,
longing to come out,
playing with thunder
to bloom
into another night
of spirit?
***
Nowhere in sight
for shelter,
cold in my dreams, forlorn
in charred garden
of old,
all flowers went
with new day,
and a desert growing,
I turned to ash
and smoldered
in regret,
I wanted,
couldn't have,
I tried,
failed,
and fell
into a waterfall.
***
Mistakes took my voice,
and the song,
played in a roaring wind,
beyond grasp
or forgiveness
I swam
in underwater cloud,
I clasped the last dust,
hopeful wish,
my candle led the way.
Inside the darkness
I saw light,
it was my own,
I built a bridge
from underworld into daylight,
from doubt into another
day,
and warm
sunshine.
***
Here I dwell in open sea,
no island to steer desires,
no veil
to cover what could be me,
my will lingers on leaves,
this dew
melts anger in a rainbow.
***
I try again,
once more,
peace comes at twilight
and each morning
finds me in grace,
in waiting
for sunrise.
***
Clear the way to love,
unlock your heart,
forgive what was, go on,
I hold hands with fate
this time,
this life,
this love belongs with you
and me,
as I was,
I still am, your own
moonlit rain,
sunny tears.
