RETREAT

RETREAT

A place for our dreams,

An earthly retreat.

Follow my heart’s beat. 

Can you feel the heat?

The earth is alive.

Its core is on fire.

Come with me, darling.

I feel your desire.

It’s all too soon gone.

The door is closing.

It’s being washed out

By the sea’s hosing.

Don’t run from the truth.

Please come back to me.

You can’t turn away.

I know you love me.

THE MOON TAKES THE DAY

tulipnight:

Moon light by  FairieGoodMother on deviantART

What if one day, the moon refuses
to remain in second place?
What if it gets tired of the sun?
The sun owning the day.
The sun lifting people’s spirits.
Giving warmth to the planet.
Having its face reflected in the ocean.
The moon might rise up,
and take control of the day.
But would it look strange?
Would it glow like the sun?
Would it give warmth?
No.
The moon should remain where it belongs,
as the shadow of the night.
Its assigned place in the universe.

HIS PLACE

The sun begins to set.
There are scurrying sounds
as the animals prepare for the night.
But the old elephant stands in his place.
He doesn’t need to move.
He has everything he needs
right in front of him.
He keeps a watchful eye
on the other animals.
But he stands in his place.

FLY AWAY

Does life feel like a prison at times?
Holding you back from exploring the world.
Keeping you stuck in one place.
When you want to be free to find
new adventures and people.
When I feel this way, I want
to break free from the bars
holding me in place.
Let’s break these bars and
try something new—anything new
that we haven’t done before.
