A Blue River

With the sun shining
through the window
the rain falls from the sky.
I am the reflection
of a broken heart
trying to mend.
Like my breath
my heart racing faster
and faster
as my blood flows.
The dream goes on and on
the mirror of a fairytale
playing in my head
like milk poured
into a bowl of cheerios.
My heart reflects
the thoughts flowing
through my mind.

My River

My river flows like
a slithering snake
moving through the meadow
of my mind--
like the wind
drifting cherished memories--
the reflection of
a red rose blossoming
the warmth of spring.

My breath
like the wind
rushing through your heart--
your touch surrounding me--
the mirror of compassion--
understanding the universe.
A new world to explore
in my heart--
a reflection of the brightness
of the sun touching the surface
of your rosy cheeks.

Untitled

The river flows
like a rock tumbling
the bright shimmer---

My mind flows
words of a different sign
I am the reflection---

An ocean who makes
my breath flow
and scream from my chest---

Like the solar system
I create
flowing through me!
