A Voice Within

It starts as a small whisper in her ear
A voice she doesn’t quite know
Yet … something familiar

She purposefully ignores it at first
After all, she is fine … alone
She tells herself – “I am”

How long has it been, she quietly wonders?
The last time she thought about him
But, it really isn’t about him

The voice is something much more
A plea from deep within her
Give love a chance

Her solid walls protect her well
But, now a voice from within
So hard to ignore

And … as he slides his hand in hers
She hears it again – much louder
“Is it right?” she wonders

Yes, he softly whispers in her ear
She feels her voice smile
Yes, hard to ignore…

Nature’s Art

Lightning flashes
Paints the night sky
Black canvas splashed
With neon streaks of light

Thunder booms
A rhythm in play
Darkness again…
She reaches for his hand

Lightning flashes
Brilliant painting appears
Tree of bright light grows
Branches shoot across the sky

Thunder booms
A rhythm in play
Darkness again…
She pulls him near

Lightning flashes
The sky comes alive
Clouds illuminate
Ghostly figures aglow

Thunder booms
A rhythm in play
Darkness again…
She whispers his name

A breathless pause…

Lightning flashes
He no longer looks up
His eyes searching for her
Her beauty comes to light

Thunder booms
A rhythm in play
Darkness again…
He pulls her in

Nature’s Art…
Rests in his arms

Within Me Now

They started in quiet moments
Thoughts of you
I invited them in
I let them linger
They are within me now

Thoughts of You

in quiet moments
thoughts of you invade my mind
whispers in the dark

Chasing Shadows

chasing her shadow
she is never close enough
answers out of reach

A Voice Within

somewhere deep within
a voice that’s hard to ignore
she wonders – should she
