One Summer Breath

In fear of twilight

and shadow

I live in love with sunshine

and each leaf,

I whisper words of love,

sing with sunflowers.

***

I cannot wait

for new day to arise

blessing breath in sunlight

adding joy to each step

I wonder how I can unfold

one mirror

to keep sunny waves floating

after darkness reaches the world.

***

I don't want nighttime to caress

my dreams,

heartfelt embraces

I cannot tell what hides

in corners of dusk

and moonlight

I stay friends with the sun,

on purple clouds

I rest.

***

A fiery dream

comes to life

petals fly on my breath,

I know this land,

I've seen it asleep, awake,

at peace,

running beyond the garden gate

jasmine holds key.

***

Can you part leaves,

fragrance tells night from day

sunrays greet my soul, and I smile,

I am at home

on sunlit grace.

***

Ocean of fright stays hidden

in the sun,

shimmers touch corners of my heart,

each crossroad that cut deep

brought me here,

today.

***

I woke up from the night,

dusted with sorrow,

I plunged into fountain

smile became new,

home stayed the same

it still remembers touch

and laughter.

***

There is no other place

I long to be,

this breath is mine,

in maze of sunshine glow

and happy blooms

of yesterday,

I grow my garden as it was,

desired,

shards of a broken wish

together once again

for joyful ever after.

***

One soul, one dream

one love

apart, together

in a scarf,

wishes unfold on wings of time

the hourglass is whole

seconds run with heartbeats

peace in my veins

to have

and hold.
