Day Dream

Today I found my soul in hiding...

Sitting, waiting for the sweet whisper of your eyes

To follow through the doors of my perception.

And when inside, you helped comb out the

Tangled strings of my guitar

And I watched as you

Made sweet sounds of music

To accompany the wind's acoustic melody

As it reverberated throughout my body,

Echoing through the shadows of my loneliness and

Sparking my soul to the point that I became electric.

And in the end I stood alone.

Teardrops running down my cheeks

Evaporated by the sun,

Transported by the wind,

Plummeting toward you

As you sailed past me in my dream.

As I drifted into consciousness

I saw truth written there

Upon the doors of my perception.

It read:

"Pain and Love are kin.

They are inseparable

As man and woman,

Life and death.

To embrace one

Is to embrace the other

Willingly, unconditionally

And without fear."

Such is our reality.

A sun and moon

In sweet embrace.

A Maximum eclipse...

In maximum beauty.

Life has its ways of putting you down...

Gravity sets in and you are grounded.

But down comes the rain...

And cleanses your soul,

It fills the void of your reality.

The deeper the ditch carved into you,

The more the rains of joy will have to fill

When they come thundering in.

I feel the breeze sailing past my ear

Announcing the coming of the rains.

And I can see them in the distance.

Joy-showers storming in my direction.
