- Be careful what you wish for
- For it could soon be yours
- And once you have it in your hand
- You may not want it anymore.
- Be careful what you dream of
- For dreams come true
- And when you wish upon a star,
- That star may fall on you.
- Be careful of putting
- All your hope within your heart
- For hearts can shatter easily
- When dreams fall apart
- Be careful what you wish for
- Think twice before you do.
- For you may find that life is best
- When wishes don’t come true.

Snowy diamonds falling,
Christmas confetti.
Settling with a hush—
Celebrating peace on earth.
Happy Holidays!

- You and I have the same guiding star,
- That pulls us together wherever we are.
- When the winds of life scheme to force us apart,
- Their plans are foiled from the very start.
- For you and I have the same guiding star.
- What is this power that keeps you so dear
- Whether we’re distant or whether we’re near?
- I thought it was love, but it’s stronger than love.
- The light that guides us shines from one star above.
- Yes, you and I have the same guiding star.

- The morning mist has cleared.
- The clouds have left the sky.
- Its time to wake - begin the day,
- Before it’s just another day
- Gone by the way of many days,
- Another day gone by.
- All I want to say to you,
- All that I believe is true,
- My heart is full,
- My mind is blank
- So I take this time to thank,
- Thank-you just for being here.
- Thank-you love, for staying near
- For putting up with all my ills
- From temper fits to coffee spills.
- For being the balm that soothes the pain,
- The inner pain that puts a strain
- And tries to cloud each day with mist.
- Thank-you my love for all of this
- And more, oh so much more that I could say
- But I will save it, if I may.
- The morning mist has cleared.
- The clouds have left the sky.
- Its time to wake - begin the day,
- Lest it becomes another day
- Gone by the way of many days
- Another day gone by.

- There were clouds in every shade of gray imaginable
- and just one patch of robin’s-egg blue
- showing that there are two sides to everything
- even the autumn sky;
- low slung clouds,
- fringed with the icy tips of impending winter;
- billowing with inner winds that threaten to break through,
- allowing the first pin feathers of snow to cascade to the ground.

a simple site to hold my brightest memories and my darkest dreams. Most is poetry, some is prose… some is fact, most is fantasy. I’ll leave it to you to decide which is which...
