When we have music to soothe, to comfort,
To affirm what we know in our hearts.
When we have the 
			lure of paths to unravel
With our passion for travel.
			When the moon beams and the sun glows
And the stars 
			shine--keeping our spirit warm.
When the hunger for 
			words spoken
and unspoken may be sated.
When the 
			thirst for the beauty
of the written word is quenched.
When love might be the like the flowers
and be blooming 
			in our soul.
Tomorrow
We marvel reflecting that 
			tomorrow
may be today.
			
Is it a different lemon drop moon
That rose in the licorice colored sky
Then the one I see?
Was the haze that surrounded the moon
Clouding 
			the view with cotton candy clouds
The same mist that’s out 
			there tonight?
Are the city lights sparkling vying 
			for your attentions,
Trying to get you to watch them instead 
			of the stars?
			
I learn, but never 
			enough.
I teach, but always yearning.
I grow, but always 
			within bounds.
I hope, but always in the past.
I dream, but 
			never mine to grasp.
			
Blue skies and time 
			has no end
Fireflies dancing to the whippoorwills trill
Summer where time stands still
And it seems there are no 
			troubles to tend.
Dusk and the world is aglow with a wondrous 
			sunset
Is it any wonder why summer is everyone's favorite?

I have this piece sitting on top of my computer desk. Mom and Dad had kept it all those years--I drew this on the back of glass--reverse painting on glass--when I was about 12 or so--my love of barns stays with me today--have lots of pictures (originals) of barns that I have bought and collected over the years.
Sated with good food and being with good 
			friends
The eyes and the smile tell the story,
they speak 
			volumes and tell chapter and verse
What the soul and heart have 
			to say.
