You Are
 
 
so
Just Be
 
 
and 
Live Your Journey
Dance of Nature
Leaves flutter, floating adrift
descending to find their place on the ground
To the observer, a beautiful gift
witnessing autumn's dance, pure and profound
 
As their russet hues reflect in the sky
a final performance takes place
Like lovers preparing to say goodbye
the end of their time, they now face
 
With rhythm and motion they appear intertwined
aware their fate has been sealed
As one they continue with moves so refined
for to nature's rules, they must yield
 
It's their one and only dance, and they shimmy and they sway
in tune with the breath of the breeze
Together they will fall, and together they will lay
beneath the expanse of the trees
When You Are Missing From Me
When you are missing from me
my world is not the same
The sun is not as bright
until someone mentions your name
 
When you are missing from me
silent are the birds that fly
Dull are the glistening stars
that illuminate the night sky
 
When you are missing from me
my smile is a facade
It hides my loneliness from all
so as not to let down my guard
 
It's a secret that we keep, a journey that's ours alone
hidden from the others, our future still unknown
 
So...
When you are missing from me
I must miss you on my own
I'm never at my best that way
when feelings can't be shown
As You Move About The Bay
Oh tiny grains of sand do tell, where do you go at night?
Do you drift across the ocean floor, until the early morning light?
 
Does the moonlight glow affect you, as you move about the bay?
Does the ebb and flow of life, trouble you throughout the day?
 
Are you at peace when on the shore, or moving with the tide?
When are you at your happiest, when have you often cried?
 
In you, I see myself, trying to find my way
Never knowing how to get, to where I'm going every day
 
To me you bring great comfort, a place for me to lay
a place for some reflection, a place for me to play
 
You hold so many secrets, such beauty you do hide
Treasures lay beneath you, from places far and wide
 
You are always a constant, in a transient kind of way
Oh how I love to see
