Who?

I stand on the ledge,
I look down and wonder-
Who is really the brave one?
The one who flies into eternity
Or the one left on the edge.

I stand on the ledge,
I look around and wonder-
Who notices if we stay or go?
The stranger in the cafe
Or the one whispering of love.

I stand on the ledge,
I look up and wonder-
Who notices us, really notices?
The angels on high
Or just the shadows of our dreams.

I stand on the ledge,
I look down and wonder-
Who is looking and seeing now?
Just a stranger bored with their day
Or no one with time in the rushing of life.

I stand on the ledge,
I look around and wonder-
Who would feel it at all?
The stranger that is witness
Or those called friend, family, love.

I stand on the ledge,
I look up and wonder-
Who am I to wonder at all?
Who am I to matter at all?
Who am I to lose at all?

Still

Alone without another
It comes midnight
Not even the moonlight
Still it searches.

Sun rises Sun sets
Beyond the reach
Sheltered by the clouds
Still it searches.

New Moon to Full Moon
Winter to Winter
Sleepless dreamless
Still it searches.

Torrents of rain
Gales of wind
Flashes of lightening
Still it searches.

Air biting cold
Frost to ice
Snow of blizzards
Still it searches.

Mountain summit bluster
Scorching desert sands
Roar river rapids
Still it searches

River Styx
Coin for the feryman
Firey cold of Hades
Still it searches.

Still it searches.

Words......

They plan escapes,
They carry you off to far away lands,
They protect you,
They make you forget the hour glass sands.

Sights and sounds
Wonders and delights,
Places and people,
Hope and freedom.

You are strong,
You are clever,
You are brave,
You are pretty.

Dreams and desires,
Rivers and mountains,
War and peace,
Justice and honor.

Find the answer,
Find the way,
Find your purpose,
Find your path.

Time and space,
Light and darkness,
Heroes and kingdoms,
Seas and shores.

Take the chance,
Take the risk,
Take the bet,
Take it all.

They can take you away,
They can bring you back,
They can keep you safe,
They can make you sound.

Words on pages
bound in books
the answer to ever
within each line

I See

You are larger than life.

You are like the sun
bringing light to the world,
You are like the oak
giving shelter and strength.

You are a knight, a protector
giving hope to the hopeless,
You are a beacon, a fortress
providing guidance and shelter.

You are like the ocean
immense and bountiful,
You are like the mountain
solid and eternal.

You are a mentor, a teacher
showing the path to the blind,
You are a friend, a confidant
giving support and encouragement.

You are amazing.
