Sandstorm

We were friends~ a lifetime ago...

The world never seemed quite right until I had a chance to talk you.  You were my everything.  I could count on you. I  knew I could take a deep breath in and knew I would hear you let it out, we were as one, single sight and single mind.

I held you close inside the walls that surrounded me.  We were safe.  We were happy.  We sipped the essence of our friendship as though it was eternal but who knew it could  have evaporated so easily.

I look back now and I don't know how we got to where we are today.  When did everything start slipping away?

One grain of sand at time, falling unnoticed until it is too late...and all that was is just a thought...because we were friends~ a lifetime ago...

Great Power

You, my friend, have great power and I am not sure you know it.

You can bring the strongest of men to their knees.

You can elevate a coward to a fierce champion.

You can fashion love to enchant any heart or incite enough hate to destroy any enemy.

You can conquer any fear or distinguish any hope.

What is the power you possess?

It is the power of words...any thing is possible, so use them wisely, my friend..

Fireworks

It is fireworks tonight.

I am held firmly in place by your captivating illumination.

Exhilarating feelings stir within as I am touched by your glorious exhibition.  

I shutter as you roar triumphantly in a brilliant flash of sizzling sparks.

My heartbeat quickens as your impulsive rocket burst repetitively only to be lost in a deafening boom.

I waft the haze of the charred sky, drinking in its luminous intoxication.

Ignite the night and bring me to the edge of my senses for tonight it is fireworks...

Wishes

I was asked today if I had three wishes what would they be...I wonder if you can wish for more wishes?

What would they be...there are so many ways you can answer this.

You could be selfless and wish for cures, lessen crime and hate, or even end wars.

You could be selfish and wish for fame, fortune, or fornication.

You could be something in between selfless and selfish and wish good things for yourself and others.

I am afraid I would not use my wishes...what would the world looked like if it were altered?  Would I recognize it?   I believe I am who I am because of my experiences, good or bad and if I change those experiences...who would I be then?

The Race

I never wanted my life to be a race.  Life just seemed to happen that way.

I started out moving to get away from little things, to deal with them later.

Soon I found myself dodging larger obstacles and my pace began to quicken.

Before long, I am running from everything that has happened this year and I don't seem to have the time to look back.

I know everything will catch up with me very soon but I am afraid of what I will discover when I slow down.

I know can't keep up this pace much longer and I can't out run my life no matter how fast I believe I am.

I must stop...
