beyond….

a rose

is a rose

is a rose ~ unless

one chooses

to

delve

deep

into the shadows ~

and beyond

where only the imagination has eyes

to believe…

both ~ away ~

one is across the country,

the other ~ across an ocean

and

I am in the center waiting ~

.

neither

here or there ~

.

just

waiting ~

.

waiting for this ~ profound

loneliness

to

float

away ~

i can be the milk to your cookie…

i can even be the chocolate chip to your cookie…

but

i cannot be the plate to your cookie…

i never want to be left behind.

a little reminder

‘

when it is dark

and

you are afraid,

close your eyes

and

listen with your heart

to

a familiar rhythm in the distance ~ ~

it led you into this world

and

it will be with you ~ always ~

onward young man…

…

many miles ahead…

dreams waiting to be embraced…

grab the wheel and drive…

An update on my son who resembles a yeti:

The ‘guy’ and two gals have been hanging out in CO…hiking, site seeing, exploring the Rocky Mountains, Boulder, Denver, Four Corners, Flagstaff…tomorrow they will be driving to the City of Angels.

searching ~

.

i have been searching for a story

with a happy ending ~

something simple

not grand,

no complications or pain.

.

a production of sorts ~

words dancing on pages,

pages waltzing through chapters,

chapters leaping between covers…

all bound by a simple

beginning,

middle

&

end.

.

can it be such a story truly exists

or

am i fooling my heart ~ wasting

my days ~ searching

for

a

book

I can… will… never write?

.

.

.

listen….

“

with open arms

they stand ~ waiting

to embrace

your passion

and

your vision.

“

I can hear their voices

whispering… from afar…

“

can you hear them?

“

your dreams are speaking…..

Note: Jordan left for the West Coast yesterday… with a car full of stuff and two friends.  Their final destination is Los Angeles, however, they are stopping along the way to hike in Colorado – Rocky Mountain National Park.  Jordan will be living and working in LA.  He was accepted into the AFI’s (American Film Institute) Summer Internship Program, which will begin June 15th.  Until then, he has a job – working as an assistant on a film set. (The director is an alumnus of Jordan’s school.) & one more thing… since he will be an AFI intern, he will working on this year’s “AFI Lifetime Achievement Award” program which will be nationally televised in June.  Apparently some dude by the name of Steve Martin is the honoree!!  Geez the kid might as well be attending/working the Academy Awards!!  To quote my son ~ “Mom, they are renting me a tux!”

going…

≈

i find moments ~

so many moments

dancing amongst a stage

full of shimmers

and

murky shadows…

all

waltzing upon waves of time

coming from… going to…

someplace

yet

going to where…

…

i do not know.
