Day dream

how can a blink change a life? a simple moment in time a nod of the head a crinkle in the eye a laugh that wakes the soul and i don't know where my feet are the footing that was once so sure has given way to deep swirling colors and changes that can't be explained i reach for the moment i pray that God will stop time if only we could stay if only things wouldn't change but time marches on and continues to change our lives with another blink and the fleeting memory is gone so i shut my eyes and hold my breath willing the moment to stay even if just for the evening even if just for this day dream

Waking up in color

Last night I went to sleep with dreams in black and white. the rain was pouring down the panes bleeding through the pages of this chapter called my life i couldn't find the ending of this nightmare in my sleep pain turned into numbness hurt into haunting and here we are standing in the morning sunshine with the dew on the roses and the colors shining bright i feel like singing or maybe crying these feelings that i thought were lost came swirling in again vibrance and desire a confusing cyclone of emotion i just want to breathe and live and cry but here we are in the late summer sunshine it's good to be alive.
