Favorite Quote:
In the real world as in dreams, nothing is quite what it seems.
-- Dean Koontz

The past cannot be changed, the present is a reflection of what we were. and there is only a future if you never take a single step back.
-- James Lovegrove


The gentle movement of willowy trees.
The cool, tingly feeling of a soft, summer breeze.
The river playfully sings of things that transpire.
The birds lazily drift as the wind takes them higher.
We watch these things, but our minds start to stray.
Instead, we daydream about later today.
The trees only mock our movements together.
The rush of our breath not result of the weather.
The melody of our voices make the river seem quiet.
Birds watch from above and think they might try it.
Your sensitivity and passion means we feel the extremes.
My curiosity and creativity means our entire bodies sing.
When my heart is wounded, you are there to protect it.
Like Yin and Yang, we're complete and the other is perfected.


The author's comments:
This is definitely a love poem, inspired by the love of my life. It still applies today, which makes it more beautiful because I wrote it when I first met him.
