Pent up energy
Searching for needed release
Time to take a nap
Compelling words heard
Excitement begins to flow
A lost phone number
Searching through the night
Shadows move into my dreams
Comfort in your arms
Grey clouds billowing
Smell of rain is in the air
Bright sun dries the lawn
My vision is blurred
Behind eyes emptiness aches
Forecast โ high pollen
The thunder of truth
In my garden of delights
A shelter from storms
Whispering fronds sway
Under canopy of blue
A stillness descends
Standing on the shore
Waves echoing past
In another place
The candles are lit
Remembrance of the fallen
Their thoughts burning bright
When the lights are out
Shadows move in the silence
Made harmless by dreams
Lonely eyes cry out
Searching for a heart thatโs lost
Tears mingle with rain
