Jacaranda Tree

tossing

purple

rain

like

confetti

at

weddings.

I dream of Sydney

Lifetime

We’ve lived a lifetime

You and I

Far above the highest star

Our lives have joined

And meshed and twined

We’ve grown and laughed

And dreamed and dined

Hold my hand oh draw me near

Be close by, forever, dear

I loved you then, I love you still

Our love will bind us, it always will.

Shooting Star

All my life I wished for you

On every falling shooting star

Oh I wished and prayed and dreamt

That in my life you’d walk right in

Now here you are, it’s you and me

You have my heart right in your palm

I prayed for you I did and then

You entered in and here you are

My wish and prayer and dreams came true

My dreams came true because of you

Deliver Me

On the other side lies an unseen

Day

Beckoning hope and promising

Future

Of stars a-glitter and full moons;

Suns of gold and a whispering morn

Night separates here from there

Dark from light

A freezing winter from fall.

Dreams,

Transport me!

Carry me safely

Hold me tenderly

Deliver me to the other

Side.

Loving You

A wish for you

A dream for me

I wish my love could be

Higher than the stars above

Whiter than the snow

Deeper than the roaring sea

So my feelings go

Everywhere I look for you

At every point I turn

I see your shining eyes

Looking back at me

I love you now

I love you then

I will always love you

So

Dreams

I’ve been reading about some truly beautiful role models over at Mum C’s blog. It is so uplifting to read about courageous young women, and their hopes and dreams.

As life goes by, we can forget about dreams and aspirations, just trying to pay the bills and raising kids and keeping all the juggled balls in the air.

But dreams keep us alive! They give us something to live for.

We as women have so much to offer this world. Compassion, empathy, nurturing and just a femininity that we can truly own.

So I endeavor to own it, dream on and live big. Because I can!

Abstract

My dreams flash back before my eyes

That strange illuminated abstract world

Of thoughts

Of feelings 

Of ideas

Of life

I wonder what they mean 

I ponder the reality 

Of that which is not

Real at all

Wishes, Hope and Dreams


Catch my dreams

Wherever they may float

Catch my wishes 

Wherever they may land 

Catch my hopes 

Wherever they are blown

Keep them safe

While I sleep at night 

So when I open my eyes 

My wishes and dreams

Hopefully come true

Writing Dreams

I consumed to ease my burdened heart

I traveled to take my pain away 

I swam until I could no longer see the shore

I married, gave birth, I cried 

I mothered, played games, I laughed 

I hugged, made love, I lived 

And to sooth my troubled soul

I wrote my dreams

To life 

Reality


My dreams reached out to touch me

I lived them, tasted them, felt them 

Until they evaporated

And I woke up 

To face

Reality
