thunder;

thunder
falling rain drops
soothing sound to slumber
its peaceful rolling melody
caress.

a million words;

a million words
simple phrases
stories to be told
twenty six little letters

hold the meaning to our world
our existence to be put on paper

we pass on our legacies
to the next generation
and the next
and the next
and the next

never fading or forgotten
permanent records we create
guiding the future.

new life;

new life
precious treasure
hopes and dreams to be had
an entire future waiting
baby.

life: journey of choices;

life is a journey of choices
futures are created and altered
by the smallest of decisions
what may seem minuscule
could be life-altering
never believe  you cannot change the world
for the world is always changing you.

mother;

mother
kind-hearted soul
sharing love with her child
unconditional sacrifice
great heart.

tripping through fields;

i am tripping through the fields
of daffodils and tulips
with dandelions kicked into the wind
floating away, free as can be.

the wide open plains
a blank canvas for my imagination
to build a life, and a future.

nonsensical musings will push me to the edge
slowly breathing in a deep breath
letting it out as i fall
spiraling out of control
tumbling gracefully downwards.

there will be an end.

white rabbit;

white rabbit, white rabbit
the key to all adventure
she fell down the hole because of you
so alluring your aura was

white rabbit, white rabbit
anamorphic creature
your lips spill of fantastical worlds
how could she deny
your tempting words

white rabbit, white rabbit
ensnare her you have
she became yours
the moment you blessed her sight
with unearthly creations

white rabbit, white rabbit
see to it that you do not lead her astray
she depends on you for guidance
to become the defender
the champion of wonderland

conscience;

conscience
good bad right wrong
two sides to every coin
that little voice inside our heads
listen

heroes;

heroes
we all need one
their origins and super powers vary
they can fight our world's battles
with aliens from afar

or simply be that listening ear
a shoulder to cry on
when all seems hopeless

not all heroes wear capes
or wield extraordinary skills
they can be found found
in the most unlikely of places
and many times overlooked

they is a hero in all of us
if we only know where to look

we are heroes to someone else
even if often times we do not realize it

secret;

secret
whispered thoughts
inklings of hope
sweet little dreams
imagine them all
for they are yours

fly away;

fly away
fly fly fly
spread your wings
go forth, take flight
your dreams are alive
the world is open
the universe is yours to take

alive;

beep. beep. beep. beep.
constant and ever present
seemingly annoying but oddly comforting
like crickets chirping on a warm summer evening

relish that background noise
monotone musical note
it means you're alive

chocolate delight;

so sweet, a little treat
tantalizingly amazing
drool-worthy and delicious
subtle but electric hints to taste buds
not asking for much, tiny morsel
yum yum yum, simple pleasures
heavenly chocolate delight

hospital;

the continuous beeps and noises
provides little comfort
in the stark white room
devoid of any personality

it is a not a place of relaxation
despite the number of times they tell you

this place of healing
often times has the opposite mental effect
uncertainty and hopelessness - common emotions
strict regimens of prescriptioned health
no choice in the matter
not really knowing what is going on
trust is the biggest driving factor

people become numbers
and numbers become money
in the end, despite it all
it really is a business
24/7 it admits, treats, and discharges
a cyclic repetitive process
that is the american hospital system.

simple musings;

simple musings
on a warm summer evening
gentle breezes
carrying the music of birds

alone but only the thoughts in the mind
smallest of comforts
idle hands with twiddling thumbs
sweet relaxation
a much needed reprieve

the setting of the sun
tickles one from their reverie
a magnificent sight to behold
we are all part of nature's circle.

timeline;

a little mishap, one tiny mistake
falling backwards in a black hole
erasing a number of years
hurtling into the past

new places, new faces
new identities, new memories
no way to jump start to the beginning
slow and easy does it
start counting the years back to her old present

joining a somewhat familiar circle of friends
of ones who have been long dead
all the tiny pinpricks to her heart
the disasters that were sure to come
for one cannot meddle with time

with a new timeline comes new hurdles
a new set of best friends
and an unlikely source for love
with a teenager who has not quite
become the cantankerous solitary man

opposites may attract
but similarities set the foundation
book-loving, studious, and curious
two peas in a pod
however often they may bicker

one life may have been inevitably changed
with that little slip to twenty years past
but so has another, and one for the better
a new timeline filled with love
the greatest weapon against evil.
