“The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished.”

― Deng Ming-Dao

“Your perceptions are derived from your feelings and your ability to be yourself, to own and trust yourself, and to say what you feel, even when it may be diametrically opposed to everyone eles's opinion. You may be called the Devil Incarnate. You may feel like cow pies are being thrown at you. Sometimes that is part of being true to yourself.”

― Barbara Marciniak

Silent SongBird

With delicate ears
She orchestrates the harmonic silence
Each unspoken note
A chorus
A song
A serenade

So she listened-

With delicate voice
She sings with spirit and grace
Each unspoken lyric
A chorus
A song
A serenade

So she sang-

With loving heart
She dances within the soulful lull
Each unspoken melody
A chorus
A song
A serenade

So she danced-

With hope anew
She revels in the music
Each unspoken whisper
A chorus
A song
A serenade

So she loves-

“The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”


― Robert Frost

I think about the days, I so strategically hide within myself..Playing a tune with my awkward fingers, strumming my loneliness with sad eyes. The lyrics I sang were quiet and rang true, if only to myself. I never needed, I often wanted..even loved. Needed was the note you hit when tuning your strings, setting them just right.

But..once that music starts, its called life ya know?
Its a song you sing, by living and breathing. At times the lyrics change, but the melody is forever. The chorus, repeating 1 2 3 times.

Solitude was my embracing audience, he/she listened to my tears accompanied by my awkward fingers; even as my heavy heart sang back up.
The the spot light often showed in hues of black and white, at times blinding me..and often then not..not shining at all. But still I sang.

Past the darkness, past the lyrics of change..more sad then happy...my tones increased with a hint of softness. The music played on and on. In a steady rhythm. It was safe, my harmony. 3 or 4 repetitive notes.

The lights shined, ever so bright..but not blinding..just bright.
My governed audience wasn't so silent anymore, I pondered why. I could, hear someone. Just a glimmer. As the sounds increased, I heard music..past my own. Something deeper, richer..more alive. Tho-I heard the chaos within its beat.

It allured me, it captured me. It set my soul on the brink, only to bring it back. Time and time again, your song makes me feel. I see past my own, and hear yours. I dance, constantly tired at times, only to feel rejuvenated..and left breathless at what you sing.

I have never played, or danced to anyone else's music..but my own.
Until I met the melody of your soul.

I simply have not.
Through chaos, you bring me back..and I ride you like no other.
I write this as tears scorch my cheeks, they taste of salt.
Tho-no wounds do they burn.

Your are the light to my dark.
Strum my soul-because your fingers...play it like no other can.

My song to you.
Is...simply who I am.

Now to find you.
