Tell Me

There is so much I have learned
yet, so much I still seek to fathom
in some silent depths I feel drawn to probe
for lost pearls of happiness
which first appear, then disappear
in swirls of deep, clear water
wisps of love...hazes of fear
sometimes distorted...sometimes clear
and always the question - why?

What is this pull on my heart?
What is it urging me to start?

Is it simply a need to pursue, with persistence
the reason for sorrow's continued existence

no, I fear it is something more
long lost on a forgotten shore
calling me on and on...to explore...

What?...Can you tell me?

Closed Doors

May be the sky, the moon and the stars
were real... not just painted
the way life looks through coloured crystals

You smiled at me tonight
at the bottom of the stairs
with so much love in your eyes

Then you said...
"Lets walk in the woods tomorrow,
at sunrise
just you and me - alone
before the world is awake"

and all I said was...
"I plan to sleep till late in the morning"
