Caring Friendship

Dedicated: Mystic Bluebell

In our walk upon this destiny that exists between two souls
Is heard a calling of sweet nature that is yet to unfold
It rings of caring friendship that has lasted thru the years
Bringing more often laughs, a few times it brought some tears

What makes this ever special is the gift we've come to share
A present from our Creator that shows how much he cares
Here lately you have written such words of golden hues
Like a rainbow from a gentle rain, that sweeps away the blues

How often have I wondered the world your eyes do see?
The beauty of your country which lies beyond the sea
To me it's like a rainbow arching above a mountain top
Conveying colors to my view in hope they'll never stop

I know it's not been easy on the road you both do walk
Hand in hand you stroll together in love you always talk
So hang in their my friend, you have many words to write
Hold on to your beloved I know he holds you tight

Soon it will be your birthday, you will turn another year
This presence in words I sent you is not to bring you tears
It's meant to make you happy, for we shared a common gift
Happy Birthday dearest Ursula, may my thoughts give you a lift

Games of Life

What makes a man renounce
A quite love so pronounced
Kept still in the hearts by shame
Sad visions lost in the flames

In the passing years I realize
Of what i thought I idolized
For youth will play such trickery
In making thoughts so bitterly

But age can be the healing tool
Which calms the reasons of silly fools?
Like the dawn that sparks the day
It comes with a price we pay

For now it's just the hours we gage
Along with images inside the page
I pick and choose the games to play
My dreams I manage to keep at bay

For growing old can be such fun
To those of us who greet the sun
Each morning brings a different challenge
The trick is keeping in total balance

Some of you may understand
What I hope will not be panned
For others time is needed
But in the end all is seeded

I've come to this conclusion
Life is not all illusions
We've dodged the many arrows
Upon a road that slowly narrows

So I will end this parody
With respect and true sincerity
My wish for you is to live to grow old
Enjoy the games of life endeavor to be bold

The Winds of Life

What are the reasons beholding sanctity?

Which turns the sea into tranquility?
Within the oceans of our souls
The winds of life are often bold

It comes to test our inner being
No discourse or smiles will be gleaming
For reality contains a naked starkness
Wrapped into a surreal darkness

We make the destiny of our voyage
Shaping the path towards the sage
In our trek from shameless games
Will the book of life contain our names?

The time to insure were we will be
Within the tides of the endless sea
Is in this cycle of painful remorse
In our sail we can change our course

Due to him who conquered all strife
Locked inside the gales of life
Lies a opening to a tranquil port
Ruled by the Master’s son and court
