A long lost siren’s song
Whispering through the ocean breeze
It calls to those gone before
Brings them back to the sea
They walk along the sands of time
A mere shadow in the distance
Yet footprints upon the beach
Tell of their ache and sorrow
How they danced in bonfire’s light
Let their cares flow out with the tide
But then the waters come rushing in
Bringing reality back to the living
Letting go is not so easy it seems
As watching it fade out of sight
Fm 7-18-09
When plans fail and hopes are dashed
Don’t be afraid to shed the tears
But, don’t let grief grind you to a halt
Open your eyes to the opening doors
Opportunity’s way of evening the score
See the detour as a happy diversion
In this, you’ll never truly be lost
Fm 7-16-09
Ropes bind
Pleasures pain
Whispered pleas
Biting lips
Digging fingertips
Shuddering limbs
Breath release
Tiny death
Whip's sting
Wake again
Boundary crossed
Never enough
Fm 7-8-09
Through this life I have traveled
Picked up many souls along the way
Some have stayed and some have gone
None of them ever forgotten
I look back through the pages
A living passport to mark my days
Laugh at memories scripted there
And cry for those lost to the years
Every one had a gift to give
Lessons of a life well lived
Accepting most without question
Others left outside my door
In these days of self reflection
I see many faces in the mirror
I am myself a culmination
Of all who have helped me here
Fm 7-6-09
I wonder at the stars in your eyes
And the dreams I see behind the stare
How to make you see beyond the years
Of loss, strife, catastrophe, and fear
Teach you to venture beyond your path
Let go of the history you’ve created
And to take the lessons I have crafted
Into my own heart and mind
Show you with my life, not words
And lift the blinds from mine own eyes
Fm 7-6-09
I’ve tried not to care
Tell myself it is time
But breaking of hearts
Is not my design
These words aren’t easy
The truth of my heart
This burden I’ve born
How it’s torn me apart
Too much precious time wasted
Since the moment decided
This could no longer last
Fm 1-7-09
A wisp of wind and a wandering breath of air.
Breathe deep the perfume floating on the breeze.
Bird song in early morning light.
Start of another day in the dawn of life.
Fm 4-23-09
I wonder at times why you brought me here,
To stand under your steady gaze.
I wonder why you asked me to come,
To play this torturous game.
I wonder if you know my heart,
And how it’s filled with hope for you.
I wonder if you understand my words,
And how many are meant for you.
Fm 7-2-09

This.. is excellent.
It is something I've wanted to write, but the words never came together... I feel it, but you felt it and wrote it.
*envy*
Letting go is not so easy it seems
As watching it fade out of sight
So good...
