Imagine...and know...

The world is filled

With sunshine

Rainbows

Waterfalls

Poetry

And occasionally

A real friend

Time passes

Events intercede

Yet, that which is worthwhile

Is always worthwhile

Close your eyes

See the rainbow

Imagine

And know...                 BB  ^© 2010

Magic

Some spend their lives searching
Most never know
That amazing connection
Which continues to grow

You never find it, here’s the deal
That which is wonderful
That which is truly, truly real
Is always, always

Deep, deep inside
It is always, always there
Simply waiting to be known
Born of much patience, time, and care

Introspection
Understanding
Connection
Minds

Not just a plaything
Not just a toy
A wonderful, wonderful
Type of joy

I am older, so are you
Sublimely connected
Amazingly true
Magic becomes . . . us!

Memories

The wonderful thing about being human
Is we get to remember
As long as there are memories
We have life

Where there is life
There is grace
There is meaning
There is the possibility of joy

May your life continue
To be filled with memories
Grace, meaning, and joy
These become you...

Portrait

As your portrait is drawn on the universe
The paint is only slightly mine
Yet the words, the feelings
Wondrously divine

May each moment of your life
Each and every year
Bring quiet whispers of
Music, only you can hear

Sounds of joy and happiness
Chords of magic from the skies
Imagine what you can see and feel
When you simply close your eyes. . . .

Watch and Listen

Rub your eyes
Close them tight
Watch the black
Swirl in light

Colors-Beauteous colors
Red-purple-gold
The day-full of promise
Begins to unfold

Listen carefully
Hear the rainbow play
Know that you are special
Each and every day...

Once

Once
In a very rare while
Wandering
There is a smile

Carried
Demurely
Yet
Perspicaciously

My luck
Caught with a glance
On that special day -A smile
Which started to dance

That smile
Oh so coy
Hinted, barely hinted
At wonder and joy

Days & Knights

There are days
There are Knights
There are wonders
There are delights

Sand, water, and poetry
Images full of magical flair
Unwrap your present slowly
Interesting friend-so very rare
