There was something different in the air as two hands met in the darkness. One soul, divided, finally made whole after infinite lifetimes of waiting. Only then did the voices on the breeze die down, leaving no choice but for two hearts to beat as one. And only in the realization of a fading star…

A wave breaks on a distant shore and all sound stops forever. No voice is carried on the breeze. No one tells me, “I’ll be home soon.” Somewhere on the horizon a bird flies toward the sun. But it drops lower, and darkness is all that’s left to meet its tired wings. My feet drag…

One day I woke and looked around but everything was different. Unfamiliar shapes loomed in the morning sun. Had everything around me changed as I dreamed of someplace better? Rising slowly from my bed, I cried as memories like raindrops fell through the shadows of my mind. To my left an open window showed me…

All have just enough of me to live a lifetime through. Use me as you want and will but know that this is true – what you have is what you get, there never will be more. Pass me by and I am gone, I can’t be bought or stored. What am I?

I dreamed of far-off Waverley where golden tree leaves sway. I walked along her silver streets where snow white pebbles lay. I heard a cold clear river run across a verdant field.

Once upon a time and place I saw a smiling face. Arms took me in an embrace once upon a time and place. I was young and full of woe. You didn’t even know – you were my safe place to go for I was young and full of woe. Even as you held me…

The rain falls and a light shines through the mist. One star burning bright, banishing the shadows. The raindrops tell of better days – different days. Infinite moments, disappearing into the earth. The rain falls and no light shines through the mist. One way revealed into the shadows. The path disappears beneath my feet. And…

Last night I dreamed you held me tight and whispered in my ear. I kissed you softly through the night, in heaven with you near. At some point as the morning sun shone on a distant hill I woke and knew the dream was done and lonely was I still. The sweet caress of love…

There is a place that I remember well though never have I seen its setting sun, nor have I walked its streets of gold or listened to a bird sing up above. And yet I know its rivers run so clear, I hear its babbling brooks and rustling leaves. I feel its winter snow caress…
