Painted Meadows
Colors Of The Night
I long to be lost in pastel painted meadows,
dappled with desire and hope.
Traced and surrounded in beautiful letters,
written in glorious prose.
To be seen as the color of midnight,
in the soft, hazy glow of the moon.
Seasons, changing in starlight,
the colors, of a late storm in June.
To love without knowing from where it comes,
or how to give way to what was.
Loving the brand new, in the whim of, because,
in sweet surrender, of what dreams are made of.
Lost in daydreams, as the rippled water shimmers
gentle breezes blow around, caressing, soft and tender
Happiness meant solely, for the fragile new beginners,
searching in your eyes, for that elusive gazing glimmer.
*
The kind that forevers are made for.

Ode To My Search Engine
Ode to my search engine (Google, if you need to know) For all the things I think of, and must know, around 3 - The AM, is the best time to search, (I can’t sleep) I owe you my gratitude, and oh, so much more. You give me 500 answers to choose from, and all before 4. (Who was that actress, what show was she on?) [How many episodes, why did it air so long?] Google or Explorer, Bing, Yahoo and more, Google serves me best, if I have to keep score.) You don’t sigh or gasp at the questions I ask, or throw my phone across the floor. (Not that I have) Sometimes, when I’m searching, you help me along. you drop out suggestions, if I've spelled something wrong. If I google some music, you pull up some tunes - and play me a new list, to cause me to swoon. Ode to your knowledge and patience with me, you take me to places; I may never see. You explain the universe and the latest alien views, I know there are days, I may seem nonnative too! But no matter what, you are there by my side, saving in my history, searches I should hide: >} Never in my life would I have imagined a way, that I could get all the answers - any time, any place. So, ode to you, Google, I'm sure glad you're around, you're the easiest way to make me look smarter, I have found.

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.

To be lost in pastel painted meadows & the eyes & heart of another--what a longing, what a dream!
This seemed like song lyrics to me! It was so lovely!
Beautiful as always "happiness meant solely...for that elusive glimmer" what a beautiful couple of lines.
