lost my way
on rocky ground
no footprints
to be found

through the briar
to parts unknown
abandoned
and alone

changed direction
climbed a hill
saw your fire
burning still

lifetime gone
’till saw your spark
my refuge
from the dark

dragons at my doorstep
faeries by the fire
ease my mind of earthly care
to follow my desire

unicorns leave hoof prints
pressed into the snow
wherever they may lead me,
that’s where I will go

pages turn by magic
love within the prose
breezes whisper secrets
essence of the rose

fill my cup to the brim
with liquid love divine
promise me eternity
your heart paired with mine

I visit
my memories
as magical gardens;
I nurture the blooms,
eliminate weeds

I select
from the blossoms
and garner the seedlings
to plant in fresh soil
come welcoming spring

when planting
I ponder the seed pods
of last autumn’s harvest
and press each promise
snug into its bed

each morning
I weed out and water
each clearly marked row.
Love and the sunshine
will bring life to bud

at bay
the demons
of circumstance.
I am free to seek
my destiny

each step
a new beginning;
not directed by lines
upon a folded map
or aging palm

debris,
clutter collected
in determined piles,
returns to ground
once again

your song —
whispered on the wind
descends softly, sweetly;
comforts, in my dreams
forevermore
