Innocent Dreams

Posted on November 23, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

Sleeping beneath midnight stars

Dreaming of faraway lands

Tracing desktop’s spinning globe

Traveling with comfort’s hands

Searching for bold adventures

Filling imagination

Revolving world comes to rest

Discovering location

Boarding fastest clipper ship

Setting sail, freedom ahead

Lighting up destiny’s route

Leaving comfortable bed

Traversing treacherous seas

Sailing toward setting sun

Scanning distant horizon

Anticipating more fun

Pulsating alarm intrudes

Crashing through innocent dreams

Waking for Monday’s school day

Leaving journey in midstream

Timeless Connections

Posted on November 16, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

Walking along distant shore

Splashing through love rolling in

Filling anticipation

For what might have been

Chasing footprints, still present

Wishing love would return back home

Filling eternal sunset

For dreams want to roam

Clinging to memory’s thoughts

Sorting images, clear and bright

Filling love’s gentle presence

For each morn beams light

Recalling tiny details

Bringing smiles inside lonely heart

Filling tender, childlike love

For music restarts

Longing for more sandy walks

Holding hands, together as one

Filling timeless connections

For love’s never done

Nightly journey

Making every turn

Dreamland Express

Locomotive churns

Night’s stardust twirls

Beaming moonlight shines

Brilliant skyline

Stillness breathing

Dancing with more guests

Each dream connects

Endless travels

Finding elation

Dreams speak softly

Night’s destination

Early dawn’s pause

Closing nighttime’s gate

Day’s Unhurried Pace

Life with its purpose

Every minute spent

Never wasting any

Just need to pay today’s rent

Day’s unhurried pace

Let’s enjoy each scene

Sitting on nature’s porch

Sunshine better than caffeine

Yes, growing older

But treasure each day

Dreaming of fairway green

Does anyone play croquet?

Rather keep life simple

Chasing more blue sky

Positive state of mind

Patio invites, come by

Grilling cheeseburgers

Welcoming each friend

Tasty bushel of crabs

Please let this day never end

Holding off sunset

For few minutes more

Warmest ocean breezes

Tomorrow waits in night’s drawer

This poem honors the musical legacy and life of American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffet (1946-2023). In his own words: “Shells sink, dreams float. Life’s good on our boat.”

Nightly Reflections

Posted on August 31, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

Distant clap of thunder

Pausing as if on cue

Cloudy skies breaking free

Nightly reflections coo

At first, hearing silence

Nature turns on her spell

Nightly reflections stir

Stories ready to tell

Moon serenades landscape

Harmony’s silent creek

Timeless melodies swirl

Nightly reflections peek

Lake’s high tide rolling in

Whispers tease sandy beach

Nightly reflections wink

Drowsy thoughts within reach

Dreams never want to fade

Overcome now with sleep

Horizon’s sunrise waits

Nightly reflections keep

Morning’s Rainbow

Posted on June 22, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

Someplace beyond morning’s rainbow

Hidden behind radiant sun

Residing in distant chateau

Tomorrow’s dreams forever spun

Clouds pushed aside for open door

Daily invitation calls out

Stirring every eagle to soar

Higher and higher, sky’s lookout

Opportunity always waits

Passage to high heavens above

Flying over more open gates

Treasured gifts, overflowing love

Visions transforming into night

Moonlight shining, fully ablaze

Dancing stars, filled with neon lights

Darkness anxious for sunny rays

Rain shadows early daylight’s peace

Sunrise waiting, shrouded in clouds

Rising colors, set to release

Morning’s rainbow, sweetness endowed
