" What will you tell your ten year old self when they look at you in the mirror one day? Will they be proud? Ashamed? Who have you become?"

A midsummer’s dawn, inspired by Shakespeare
Titania and Oberon danced till dawn’s light
Hand in hand all through the night
Forgetting the odd dreamy events of the eve
While Puck and the faerie train did leave
The dawn’s light broke in a purple haze
Washing gently o’er the couple’s gaze
Their feuding on hold
Returning a love so bold
To call a truce for passion’s sake
Reaffirming vows true love did make
And Puck the merry wanderer of night
Is tucked into bed during dawn’s light
So Oberon with his Queen did go
To watch the sun rise at the rooster’s crow
Hand in hand at last
A knowing glance forgives the past
And all at once the world is restored
Guess tonight mischievous Puck shall be bored!

Ode To Summer
Warmed straight to the bone,
Sunglasses on to stop the squinting.
Laughter, giggles, shrill
Screams of joyous children.
Sprinklers on lawns
Wet the sidewalks and passers-by.
Splashing in pools and rivers
By people and dogs alike
Make for a perfect summer day.
The evening shade is for looks,
Staying warm well into the night.
Playing loud, happy music,
Dancing to the smell of a barbeque.
Maybe a little wine,
Maybe a beer or two.
Gazing at the stars, looking at
Something looking back at you,
Makes for a perfect summer night.

The Token
A thousand eyes live a thousand lives
And know what love can do
A million smiles walk a million miles
So love can start anew
Finite and fickle if tears start to trickle
Hearts are easily broken
Strong and unending love is mind-bending
Leaving a scar as a token
Live passionately
Laugh so hard your eyes swell with tears
Humor feeds a hungry soul
Live in a house that has seen many years
Just to add to those unspoken stories
Love so much it makes your soul sing
As many times as you possibly can
Let yourself be loved and to love cling
And try to make it last forever
Learn to weather hurricane and earthquake
That which is nature is divine
Live passionately if for only passion’s sake
And never let the fire in you die
