I Wanna, I Will

I wanna admire the blue cotton candy sky

I wanna stop letting things pass me by

I wanna try something fresh and simple

I wanna get outa here and escape this cripple

Where can I find a place of solace?

Overlooking shadows of green

And meadows of yellow velvet

Sun splattering upon my windows of pane

Dandelions sweeping my ankles and toes

Away from chatter, but close to peace

Splendor, exquisiteness reaching for belonging

Hushed tranquility soothing the stillness

I will admire the amethyst mountains so resolved

I will embrace the thought of my qualms dissolved

I will run free in this field of bliss and delight

I will take off just as an eagle takes flight. 

Butterfly Elegy

             For Vanessa                

Fly away young butterfly

to where we use to play.

Fly away young butterfly

we’ll get back to you someday.

Where warmness kindles and

love abounds; its better there.

Where time is slowed and untouched light,

we’ll each hold you tight with care.

Fly away young butterfly-

perfection personified.

Fly away young butterfly

your laughter has not died.

A day with pure happiness

where twinkling dost flow

upon me, open arms

to them my heart will go.

Fly away young butterfly

past your time on earth.

So fly away young butterfly

you were chosen before birth.

                                                     

I love you Vanessa
