the mind has rain too
but I like the sunshine more
accept the weather

the early morning
light as the summer solstice
approaches - gold and
blue after the rain - after
the storm - after the dawn breaks

the darkness within
sometimes leaks out in my dreams -
violent nightmares

sometimes my yearning
for serenity - holds me -
and I swim in dreams

I miss her, that's all.
It seems so silly. My heart
aches. Just walk away.

my driftwood heart lies
washed up on the beach, a knarled
sun bleached thing - waiting

embroider your mind,
embellish it, garnish it,
with ideas and spice

embroider your mind
with a rainbow of love,
compassion and hope
