Your imperfection

Is my idea of perfection.

Forever A Dreamer

I will forever be that dreamer

Lost in time from another land

Dreaming of stars, rainfall, 

flowers, wildlife, moonlight 

Magical adventures and autumn. 

Making wishes upon dandelions

Waiting to see every sunset

Falling in love with souls

Trying to change the world 

Finding beauty in the 

Imperfection of humanity 

And sacredness of nature.

Letter To The Gypsy Girl

LETTER TO THE GYPSY GIRL 

I urge you to be a mystery 

Hard to comprehend, too odd to love

A deep thought to ponder over

Too wild to be tamed.

Intimidate others with strangeness

Tease them with curiosity.

Be both tender and savage

Bliss and hurricane.

As you travel through life

I hope you don’t lose 

Yourself in the world of others

Be fierce and unique.

Nothing worthwhile is ever without flaw.

Infinite Romance

I am in infinite romance with

Simple things, dark adventures and solitude.

I find solace amongst the sacred forest 

I find home in the dark amongst

stars, moonlight and fireflies

I let the wind dance with my hair

And the sun kiss my cheek

I walk barefooted to connect with nature

I find fellowship amongst farm animals 

I speak to trees hoping they listen

I feel so alive when in the wild

They never judge me for my flaws 

They embrace me with open arms

They know my story, they listen 

I never struggle with perfection 

I never try to be someone else

I am loved and appreciated.

Dark Horses

I will always root for the quiet, 

shy, redhead, freckled-face, tree lover

chubby fellow, skinny kid, animal lover

awkward folk, gypsy, hippie, special needs

Introverts, empath, old souls, dark horses

Moon-lovers, stargazers and night walkers.

They hold so much story within

And live in a world where 

They are often judged and misunderstood.

I will root for them like any underdog

When they pull a surprise victory, 

believe in their unique abilities 

And stand up to their fears 

I will be their fan rooting for them

When no one believe in them

Or see their uniqueness.

The Lighthouse

THE LIGHTHOUSE 

I have seen dreams travel far

Felt love wash upon the shores 

The lonely bird sing lullaby 

To keep my loneliness at bay

People change like seasons 

Ship comes and goes in waves

Words fades into gloomy sunset.

But here I am a “lighthouse”

I stand alone in silence 

Not frightened by

Fog, storms and darkness

I keep a lot to myself 

I notice and feel everything 

I shine with a light from within 

To save and serve others.

Little Things

LITTLE THINGS 

Appreciate the little things in life they matter

Celebrate people, places & things 

Root for the underdog 

Be patient with the elderly

Cheer for strangers 

Be graceful with animals and plants 

Be empathic with those different from you 

Inspire others to believe and dream

Let rainfall bring you peace 

Flowers bring you laughter 

And moonlight dreams

See magic in all versions of you.

Hold Moments

Hold moments 

To the heart not things,

Capture life’s bliss

With the heart not the eyes.

Beauty may yet be found 

In quiet places

Dark moments 

And in simple things.

Journey Through Life

As I travel through life 

I have learned to see 

Beauty in the 

Imperfection of humanity 

Wisdom in nature

Contentment in things

Progression of time

Empathy in wildlife 

Message in silence

Strength in solitude 

Hope in darkness.

Strange Soul

I was born with a strange soul

Always searching for the 

Missing pieces of myself 

Lost to time, in everyone I met

In everywhere I went

And at all times. 

I was searching for people 

Like me too strange for this world

Home far beyond reach

Dreams too deep for reality.
