Dear California,

i have thought about you
often
restless in my mind
like the waves
upon you're shores
the pacific coast
a pacifist in love
with your sunsets
an image rhapsodic
a canvas of serenity

Dearest California,

i do think about him
always
restless in my mind
like the way we drive
to the beat
of the music
feelings fixated
by the bond between our
souls
and so we look at the stars
reminiscent
a catalyst of eunoia
i pray

My Dearest California,

i give to you
the one
who showed me
the power
of love
for this love he will share with you
and so i ask
to gift yourself to him
for one day soon
you shall see him look at the stars
which light up the darkest
of your lands
a sight i share with you

California,

you must see
here
that he has then discovered
a love
for you
and so
at this very moment
he will begin to dream
of wonders
with you,

His Dearest California.

many the
miles
i'd surely walk to you
for the day you board
the plane to a place
where you shall dream
another dream
without me
in mind
i'll think of you
and so i think of you
and close my eyes
only to have them opened
to the most wonderful sight
existent as a memory
one i treasure oh so fondly
for i love you
and i'll love you
and the miles?
you may wonder
what the future holds
along the journey
wonderful things
and so i have thought
and so i am sure
that
love-
my love,
is infinite

Soul
Alive, astir
Gliding, enshroud, obscure
Awaken my tormented soul
Nomad

The world
in ruins
My heart
in pieces
The people
Fearful
The feeling
Dreadful
Lost in fear
Fear of lost
Causes
And effects
Where destruction
Leaves the world
In hope
But not I
For I heard the cries
And so I gave the world
The pieces
Of something once so pure
As I kissed it goodbye
Away I went
And on my way
I saw it come together
United
In a heartbeat
I felt it once again
For the world
Holds my heart
Forever
And away I went

she told us of her conversations
With all the stars
And constellations
how they taught her how to dance
And so
She showed them how to sing
Soundless however
So marvelous
And with the moon they pray
For a place so perfect
And for the girl
Who dances through the streets
To the music only she can hear

a hit
of stimulation
where waves crash on the shore
a paradoxical vacation
music
opens the door

it took us to another world
a place so paraellel
that only music makers know
it's our story to tell
a universe where it is found-
the reason for it all
and so we hear
the music
and into the world we fall
all of the lights
they dance to what
we hear not in our heads
but there it lies deep in our soul
waves all but never dead
we live not in time and space
but in the moment now
and some might ask us questions
as to ponder how

for we're the music makers
it's you who must realize
that the place that calls your name
is where waves will never die

on a sunday afternoon
a baby girl was born
and so life had begun
for a seldom creature
God's miracle
stepped into a place
where her very presence
would change the world forever

they felt it after 3 years
something was different
a girl
of such immaculate beauty
remained from speaking a word
and so they gave her time
to come into her own

but time passed on
and the girl never spoke a word
no one could figure why
there were doctors
there were tests
there were places
to go
but nothing seemed to awaken the silence

people watched her
as she wrote
in her very own
a book
full of secrets
to an identity
so fragile
not even a fire
nor a flood
could destroy such an image
of perfection
and with this
she held it close


the girl
was truly mesmerizing
strangers stared
and when they attempted to speak to her
a smile was the only answer
for the mystery of awe
seemed to disguise itself '
in the body of an angel

until one day

on a sunday afternoon
a boy was born
and a girl looked down
into her very arms
and whispered quietly into the ear
of her son

"maktub"
she said
