Wishing

A wish is a wish
That can come true
If meant for me
Or meant for you

Do you ever wish upon a star
The first star you see in the night
Wish it may and wish it might
Grant all the wishes your heart desires?

What do you wish for?
Do you wish for yourself
Do you wish for others
Do you wish for it all

Do you ever wish when you blow out a candle
Wish for hope
Wish for strength
Wish for peace
Wish for grace

When you close your eyes and wish
What do you see that makes you wish
What do you feel that makes you wish
What do you hear that makes you wish

I wish for strength
I wish for wisdom
I wish for health
I wish for hope

But most of all I wish for faith
With out faith we have none of the rest
With out faith what do we have to live for.

Reminiscing......

I was not a popular person in school.  I was more of a loner.  While I may have been true to me, I didn't have close friends, best friend who I could tell anything to.  I was not into the same things kids my age growing were.  I played sports, but in all honesty I was not the best.  Was I the best me while playing sports?  Sure!  Was I a star athlete, NO!  So then I had to have been brilliant, right?  No again.  I was the best me I could be.  Should I have applied myself more?  Sure, but I passed my classes with A's and B's which was good for me.  Then came college.  What an unexpected ordeal.  Not my favorite time in life at all.  Feeling lost and alone, I turned to people who I thought were friends, but not in a true sense.  Because I was out in the world unprepared, I followed like a sheep and almost flunked out of college.  We all make bad choices, but for me I wasn't sure I would live through ...

The Haunting

I worked so hard to push you away To push you from my mind But I find you creeping Creeping back in Lurking around Lurking in my dreams My dreams before deep sleep My dreams before waking Haunting me Haunting me of what I felt What I wanted What I loved more than I realized Touching me Touching me in that special way Your eyes dance with fire Fire built by desire Waking me Waking me from the slumber A slumber I brought on And thought I needed to be rid of you Feeling again Feeling again what I worked so hard to lock away Because you didn’t return the same love Because you didn’t see me Hurting again Hurting because of all the emotions I’m flooded with emotions Swirling around me Will I ever be free of you? Will you ever see me as I saw you? Will all of this old chaos settle my life? Will you settle this all or light the flames higher? Like a moth to a flame The feelings so raw Feeling so true Feelings so rare A flutter in my heart Where hope still lives Silly female wishes Or where the...

It's been so long

It has been so long Since you last sat with me Will you sit with me again And for how long will you stay? Twilight beckons as I stand on the porch The porch swing moves in the breeze Chirping of frogs heard in the distance Will you come sit with me? Watching the last rays of sun vanish The porch boards creaking under my feet Wrapped in the warmth of an old blanket Will you come sit with me? I can see your face as if it was yesterday The chiseled features of your face, The way the light danced in your dark eyes The way your hair curled in wild disarray Your hands so strong from a long hard day Yet soft when they touched my soul to the core The deep tone of your skin looking like it was kissed from the Sun Gods every day The curl of your lips when you were being mischievous. Your long strong arms to match the legs that went for miles and miles Looking upon you from my eyes always in a lazy haze That shown just what being with you does to me The lazy haze and longing look displayed on my...
