		<description><![CDATA[My body has not yet awoken, it still slumbers
My morning has not yet broken, it is still in shadows
My hunger has not yet been sated, it is still gnawing
My seed has not yet germinated, it is still dormant
My thoughts are not yet formulated, they are still nascent
My gifts have not yet been opened, they are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes like driftwood
Swept along by the current
Caught in whirlpools
Cast aside on the shore
Wet and defenseless
Sometimes like a leaf
Dropped from a tree
Buffeted by the winds
Piled on the sidewalk
Drying and lifeless
Sometimes like a pebble
Lying on the street
Kicked by children
Walked on by passersby
Alone and purposeless
Sometimes like a cloud
Suspended in the sky
Attacked by the sun
Pushed with urgency
Wispy and shapeless
Sometimes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am disturbed by evanescence. 
I am disquieted by ephemerality.  
I am disconcerted by expediency.
I am bewildered by instability
I am befuddled by inconsistency
I am bemused by infidelity

		<description><![CDATA[
Somewhere a leaf falls silently
Somewhere a wind blows harshly
Somewhere a shadow falls darkly
Somewhere a tear drips slowly
Somewhere a hurt grows inexorably
Somewhere a hope fades slowly
Somewhere a love dies fitfully

		<description><![CDATA[Time was, when life was revelations unfolding
And every day a dawn of discovery
Time was, when my mind was an open vessel
And every book a chance to imbibe
Time was, when there were teachers all around
And every conversation an opportunity to grow
Time was, when stepping forth was an act of faith
And every relationship a reason to believe
Time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I said I loved you
and wanted to be with you every moment
I wanted to hold you
and guard you jealously from covetous eyes
When I protect and possess you
I become your enemy
As then I am blind
to your glory as an individual.
I bought you a book, a book I really liked
hoping that you would like it as much

		<description><![CDATA[
 So it unravels
One thread at a time
The fabric we weave
Of living and loving
 


So it darkens
One cloud at a time
The horizon we seek
Of hoping and arriving
 


So it crumbles
One hurt at a time
The foundation we build
Of supporting and believing 

 

So it flickers 
One gust at a time
The candle we light
Of caring and comforting

		<description><![CDATA[Words are wings for ideas to take flight
 
Words are rays that bring feelings to light 
 
Words are bridges that span heart to heart
 
Words are arrows that can tear us apart
 
Words are legacies we leave when we pass 
 
Words are clothes for our naked thoughts 
 
Words are a balm that can heal our sorrows
 
Words are paths [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My thoughts flit around

Like butterflies

On gossamer wings

Soaring on currents

Of glorious memories

Only to descend steeply

Into melancholy valleys

Pausing on a flower of love

To drink your heady nectar

Till it is time to move on

To lands unknown

And gardens unseen

To fly is to keep living

For thoughts want to be free

Like butterflies

On gossamer wings.
