Written by waterlily34 on June 22, 2008 – 10:13 am -A sigh in the bed
A look in passing
Busy we live
Connected by love
A home in blossom
A boy in growth
Trips and events
Always things to do
Taking care of
Maintaining our bonds
Trusting that things
Will evolve and remain
Strong
Stable like pillars
Withstanding the forces of nature
Standing close beside
Always remaining
Yours

Sometimes when I’m floating along
bobbing gently in the sea
with the sun shining warmly on my face
feeling complete and serene
a wave of fear engulfs me
and I worry that I won’t find land
the salty water and angry sun
will burn and dry my aching bones
I search for my lifeline
Then I see you
pulling me in
hand over hand
A look of understanding
Cradling me back to reality
________________________
In the space
between you and I
are dreams and wishes
thoughts and questions
ebbing back and forth
rocking like the hull
of a beautiful old boat
that has traveled
all this time
before we knew each other
waiting to set sail
testing the water
towards an unknown journey
taking us safely across
the oceans in our hearts
to an island in our eyes
where all our aches and pains
are absolved in one glance
and so we go…
to this space

Poems by Water Lily
Written by waterlily34 on June 22, 2008 – 10:01 am -She walked alone keeping to herself
Always moving forward
No good-byes no tears
Avoidance became her method
Never having to explain why
Who would care to know
She could never express that which burned her heart
She smiled and danced around the truth
Recognizing others truths and blowing a whistle on everyone else
but herself
She did not believe it necessary
Who could love a ghost
__________________________
Without a map without a plan
No compass or emergency pack
Adeventures and people to explore and see
I’ll stay for a while I guess
Things could be worse I think
It’s not so bad in here
Better than it was in there
If you scare me I will jump
So high that I will fly
To a new location to start again
I know beginnings
I am an expert at making fresh starts
My existence thrives on leaving those behind
Scratching their heads not knowing what just hit them
______________________________________________
She doesn’t know how to fly
Or gather up her needs
She could fly into a window
Or land on a bug zapper
She wants to go back inside where it was warm and dark
Out here the expansion terrifies her mind
Too many traps lie waiting
Can she sit on your broad shoulders
Fly into those blue eyes
Just for a while to rest
Without losing her breath
She needs to rest
In a safe place
Warm and dark again

What are they talking about
Sharing thoughts caring
So much chitter chatter
I can do this too but
Sometimes I’m not there
My mouth is moving
My eyes are alight
But I am floating up above
Watching everything from the clouds
My real thoughts are in the sky
Moving in circles, storms
I want my thoughts to rain down all over
And you and I can dance naked
In the showers of hope that live
Inside my wet wet heart
