This collection is a combination of romantic, philosophic, mystical, and spiritual poetry written to warm even the coldest of hearts. They come from a very inspired place that speaks of a great desire to understand ourselves. The elusive butterfly in all of us, that out of its innate curiosity to learn and experience things by necessity, transforms itself. They also speak of the unique place that we all share in the divine tapestry we call life and how we are all intimately connected. The poems reflect on the betrayal and hypocrisy that we all inevitably encounter on our journey through life. Most importantly, a message of hope and joy runs through them, so that we are always reminded that even in our darkest moments, the light of truth and love has never abandoned us. The book also shares some of the stories that inspired and motivated some of the poems. They run the gamut, from gut-wrenching tearjerkers to deeply impassioned pleas for universal kindness to the whimsical frolic of a playful little child. Included is a section titled Musings on Life. These are philosophic perspectives intended to be life lessons for the reader. It's been said that not all men are masters, but all masters have been men. Along that same line of thinking, the author feels that although not all philosophers are poets, all poets are philosophers.

The Wind from Heaven's Window
A distant drum beats slowly its rhyme.
The dance of the waves falling in time
And the depth of the sea moves closer to me
And I, in return, turn inward.
And the stirring, it brings the most beautiful things
On a soft pillowed cloud, there were angels with wings.
The wind on the shore whispered its
for all who have ears, all who would listen
To the sound of the wind from heaven's window.
Though many still cling to the chill of the night
Away from the love and the warmth of its light.
Their hearts turned cold, their passion on hold.
Their caution more dear than their valor.
From what they hold dear, they've chosen their fear
And doubt reigns supreme in their kingdom.
But all is not lost, with time on their side.
Upward and homeward at last they'll all ride
Carried on by the wind from heaven's window.
And the wind will bring all my love to you.
Its gentle breeze will stir the whole night through.
All my love to you.
All my love to you.
Only you.
(Instrumental)
And the stirring, it brings the most beautiful things
More precious than gold, most sacred.
And the wind on the shore whispered it's for
For all who have ears, all who would listen
To the sound of the wind from heaven's window.
And the wind will bring all my love to you.
Its gentle breeze will stir the whole night through.
All my love to you.
All my love to you.
Only you.
Twilight Transitions
Candlelight in the moonlight
Settle soft and low,
Revealing thoughts of a young girl's heart
Only she should know.
The vision of your dreams abound.
Your quest denied once more,
of graduation from this land,
you've passed this way before.
And in the mist my eyes can see
The shadows that are haunting me.
But could this be just a mirage to me?
Another illusion that I can't see?
Ah yes, says the wind, as it calls to me-
You'd better get straight your reality.
Perplexed, confused, you've questioned long
the melody of that midnight song.
But the rhythm of it's rhyme
Will come to you in time.
For only the heart knows the way
to turn the darkness into day.
The Winter Breeze
The winter breeze blows bristly by
And sings to me a lullaby
Of days forgot again renewed
The evening song prepared the mood.
But what was the song as it ran quickly by
As it spoke to me it's lullaby.
A time of joy, a time of cheer.
As we usher in a brand new year.
And yet I seem to recall a time
When man forgot God's pantomime
The heartless know no jubilee
For it's shrouded in a mystery
In the cloak he wore a powder's kid
His name we know was Ahura-Mid
An evil deed, did cast a spell
Into the local wishing well.
Then man would drink and poison mind
And turn from all he knew was kind
But this day at last man sins no more
For a traveler has made the water pure.
Somewhere
Tread softly in the night my dear
Tread softly through the trees
Go quietly amongst the birds
Who whistle in the breeze.
Recalling as we often have
The days of future past
We'd bring forth from within our minds
The dreams we dreamt of last.
Where serenity is stability
And all things there are calm
We'd perpetuate our happiness
And echo forth this psalm.
The eternal search to nowhere
Always winds up here
Because this place is within yourself
And only the wise appear
Fade through the depths
Of both energy and space
Past time's imposition
To find this placid place.
Oh how tenderly did I love you
On that fateful day
When the angels stood before you
And took my love away.
It's Love
It's in a look, it's in a smile
It's in the feeling, I'm feeling...
