Sweet Serenity

Help me to be who you want me to be
I fight with my demons, please set me free
Your lighthouse sheds its light ‘cross the sea
Give me the strength to endure patiently

Divinity shines like a candle in me
I feel its warm glow fill me with peace
Instill your vast knowledge and let me see
Perhaps there’s some meaning to how life should be

I live and I learn, I try faithfully
To meet opposition along this journey
With each lesson learned I’m drawn unto thee
T’ward mansions above, with you I may be

No more to dwell in dark misery
Forever and ever, sweet serenity

Adventures Into Space

Photo credit: unknown

Reaching for the moon and stars
Take me places high and far
To distant planets we’ll traverse
To edges of the universe

So many places we can see
Mid undiscovered galaxies
Meet me where dimensions blend
Where dreams govern and realities bend

Bathing under heaven’s starlight
‘Neath the glow of strange moonlight
We’ll listen to galactic tales
And ride spectacular meteor trails

We’ll orbit unknown heavenly worlds
Where brilliant starry clusters swirl

Into the cosmos to explore
Come go with me, I do implore
Let’s frolic gaily down black holes
Then through the constellations stroll

Two alternate souls of blending hues
Of fiery reds and icy blues
A bond like none have seen before
We’ll have adventures evermore

Home

In her eyes lay a scene so serene. A soft blue tint, like a paradise sky, rippled across the top. Brown hues bathed the bottom, like wet sand on a secluded beach. Her eyes danced playfully like waves crashing against a rock at the center of the cove.

He looked closer to find that the rock was not a rock at all. Rather, he saw himself inside, at the center of her world. Her eyes smiled deeply as she looked on him. Her soul released a wellspring of love only for him. In his eyes, she saw a purple hue that wasn’t there before. It captivated her heart and mind. She felt compelled to enter.

He too, ventured deeper, enveloped in her warmth. They lay together on the beach, feeling the warm breeze and hearing the rhythmic sound of the waves washing up the beach. He was home and so was she. Home, wrapped in each others embrace forever. This is heaven. This is where they wanted to be.
