I can see you
Feel your breath breathing
On mine
My lips hunger
For your loving touch
Caresses
Far
Far into night.
What else is there
But loving
Loving forever
The rest of
This
Passionate night.

No more do I go
To the edge
Oh no, now I leap off
Into the unknown
Accepting everything will be okay
Trusting all
No more to hesitate
No more to wait
Nor stay on the edge
But
Leap, leap off with faith
No dread.

No more to see
Nothing left to do
Move on
And be filled with gratitude
For
Your heart is left intact
No breakage
No, nothing like that.
Count your blessings
Be in tune with
The steady march of time
It will take you to a place
You’ll be at peace
Nothing to regret
No, nothing like that.

I wonder, wonder where
The squirrel at the feeder
Came from.
Where the sun was before
It shone in the sky.
When people thought
That they may fly.
What was said when
The mountains fell.
As a earthquake opened up
And shattered the ground.
I wonder, wonder where
The answers can be found.

Listen to that little voice
That
Speaks inside your head
The soft, gentle sound
That tells
What’s right, what’s wrong.
The one who says
Which path to take
If you should
Go
Not hesitate, not wait.
When you find
The one
You think you love
She’ll tell you
If you need to stay
Or
If you should not walk
But run.
So listen
Listen to that little voice
She knows your heart
She knows
Knows what’s best.
Never lose that
Connection
Never ignore that voice
For
She says the wisest words
There
Inside your head.

Coffee taste
Lingers
The aroma whirls
Round my senses
No
Other feeling
Neither
Happiness
Nor
Dread
Can accommodate
Like this
In
My sleepy
Morning head.
