Searching for answers
Sometimes hidden in darkness—
River’s steady dreams
Searching inner peace
Fresh outlook always arrives—
Storms fading away
Searching for light switch
Positive vibes energized—
Plugged into sunrise
Shelving pride’s spirit
Infusing fresh, new outlook—
Filled with humbleness
Dreaming overnight
Reaching for another star—
Tomorrow refreshed
Character’s frayed rope
Integrity’s transformed strength—
Potential nourished
Wind’s inviting voices
Welcoming from shadow’s past
Harmonizing spirits
Bright skies trying to hold fast
Darkness taking shortcut
Wakening to rising sun
Searching for tomorrow
Ahead of each setting sun
Wind chimes at every hour
Reminding of yesterday
Wishing for better times
Memories’ daily ballet
Today never backtracks
Writing journey’s blessed song
Soaring ahead, true joy
Nature’s essence comes along
Wind gathers final breath
Inviting darkness back in
Following every star
Round of dreams, ready to spin

In stillness of morn
Single flame burning
Offering goodness
Each hour keeps churning
In stillness of day
Single flame burning
Sharing lasting peace
Heartbeat keeps churning
In stillness of work
Single flame burning
Energizing joy
Outlook keeps churning
In stillness of night
Single flame burning
Encouraging hope
Life shall keep churning
In stillness of dreams
Single flame burning
Grasping tender hand
True love keeps churning

Each year follows another
Memories flowing downhill
Some filled with only sadness
Others sketched with joyful thrills
Another sunrise knocking
“Father Time” never slows down
Blessed to be alive, Amen!
One more day, praises go round
Sometimes days feel like winter
Overwhelmed with sky of gray
Other days waken to spring
Youthfulness wanting to play
Daily lessons in patience
Treasures come from smallest gifts
Appetite filled with sweetness
Road ahead, free of snowdrifts
Sunset wraps up one more day
Nightly dreams forever seek
Thankful for every blessing
Journey’s perseverance speaks
Turning life’s empty page
Optimism running dry
Uncertainty arrives
Shifting darkness stands by
Flickering light of thoughts
Mind never seeking rest
Sporadic, impatient
Inviting nightly guest
Dreaming, story unfolds
Deeper into its script
Narrative continues
Typing empty transcript
Soothing spirit walks in
Please, please never depart
Stardust now raining down
Replacing mind with heart
Waking at early dawn
Empty page, still waiting
Writer’s pen left untouched
Seeing light, dictating

Today, making big plans
Looking out, far ahead
Life’s landscape, calling out
Past now ready to shed
Yesterday, forgotten
Latching on to new tune
Positive, fresh outlook
Below night’s risen moon
Freedom filling each dream
Nourishing assurance
Confidence springs forward
Life’s steady insurance
Eager to keep moving
Opening novel’s page
Business taken care of
Wisdom heard from old sage
Timetable’s steady hand
Taking shortcut’s byway
No working overtime
Down tomorrow’s highway
