Back in the saddle again

DJ Update: After almost an entire semester of subbing half-time, I am now a long term sub for a couple of elementary schools. This is a big change in thinking for me, since I've been in the high school mode for some time. I'm thankful for a short weekend, which will mean I only have two days to plan with. This couldn't have happened without the support from Dr. Barnhardt who I used to work with at Three Lakes Coop last year. She has taken me under her wing, and is helping create some cool opportunities for me this year. I'm very thankful.

hand in hand

hand in hand,

we walk down the old dirt road,

surrounded by fields of wheat,

fields of dreams,

hand in hand

you and I walk along,

with all that’s behind of us,

and all that’s ahead of us,

there’s nothing too hard for the likes of us.

we take a deep breath together,

hand in hand,

there is no tomorrow,

just today.

daisies and lilacs dance with the wind,

they let their seeds fly,

a cardinal flits to and fro,

calling to it’s mate night after night,

we stop for awhile and look,

then smile,

two for good luck,

then we kiss,

and the world takes a rest,

because there is so much energy,

so much zest,

like the cardinals,

we’re building our nest.

hand in hand,

heart in heart,

nothing on earth,

can do us part.

hand in hand,

we hold on tight,

there’s nothing wrong,

with something so right.

Pictures

you told me that you’re looking at me,

in every picture you take,

in every flash,

the smile you make,

is a smile at me.

I’m obsessed with your smile,

but I can think of no better obsession.

when you look at me,

and when I look at you,

there the love shines through.

the wind in your hair,

the lock that falls on your face,

the eyes full of grace,

if there is a wonderland in your eyes,

then there is heaven in your smile.

so forgive my obsession,

I’m all that I can be,

and more than that only you can see.

I’m in love with an angel,

and she’s in love with me.

pictures of your smile,

heaven’s gates stand open,

whenever you smile.

lone spirit

a lone spirit walks these hills,

set upon the wind

there through the trees

a soft green glade

where the fish swim free,

a lone spirit used to be washed with the leaves

spirit run wild,

heart run strong,

the rhythm of the wind

booms through the canyons,

and softly o softly

the spirit sails free

Goodnight?

Not being able to say goodnight to you

killed me last night,

I wanted to talk to you,

tell you everything,

and put you sleep with our ritual.

I had no idea how much it would hurt me,

it hit hard, and I can’t sleep.

My heart hangs in limbo,

unsure of everything because I can’t hear your voice.

But something tells me that it’s ok,

you’re asleep right now,

and I should be,

but I can’t sleep,

my mind is on full speed,

my body still exhausted.

Places I’ve been,

people I’ve seen,

it all goes away when I think of you,

it all goes away because I’m feeling blue,

I got your ring yesterday,

and it makes me sad,

that I can’t slip it on today.

I love you too much

if it hurts like this,

I can’t stand this pain,

not again…

Please call me love,

I love you too much,

and miss you even more.

I’ve written this poem now,

and it’s just past 4…

I had to get it out,

because it’s killing me.

You’re the only one,

who gives me stability.

my heart hangs in limbo,

but I can’t hang on though,

give me a call love,

I miss you

I

love

you

Celtic Spirit

celtic spirit

me Celtic heart be tamed

though my soul be wild,

I found me lady,

and my heart be free.

the rain falleth upon my shoulders,

and I look into it to wash me clean,

there be a wild spirit in me,

but a tame heart to set me free.

she be an exotic beauty,

possessed of a beauty that seemeth no longer to be.

I watch her lie beside me,

breathing in and out she does,

my heart climbs to the trees,

for a smile pierceth through the rain,

that set my spirit free

Sunset Eyes

Sunset Eyes

I often wonder,

why I’m not that sad,

when I don’t see the sunset.

it’s been so long,

since I’ve let my thoughts rest.

but then I realize,

that I see the sunset every night,

through the pictures you send me,

I see my sun set.

in your sunset eyes,

my heart always rest,

in your sunset eyes,

I feel my best.

through your sunset eyes,

there is only peace,

in your sunset eyes,

everything’s at ease.

every night,

I’ll look into the sunset,

and when I do,

I’m looking at you.

Looking at your sunset eyes,

it’s there where my heart lies.
