Following a trail of stars
Searching for my dream

Seeking a quiet place
In this world
Where dreams can live

Walking on a cinder path
Risen from the ashes
Tredding upon broken dreams
Seeking a new foundation

Come and sit a spell
Take a time out today
For a flower smell
Drink in its fragrant perfume
Let the aroma quell
Your anxious heart today
Come and sit a spell
Take a time out today
Enjoy this moment in time

All the colors of the rainbow
Are within your reach
Extend yourself
And grasp

Is there someplace you’d rather be?
Or are you in your comfort zone?
Are you settled or wanting to be free?
Is there someplace you’d rather be?
Seeking a dream or a vision you see?
Need help or like being alone?
Is there someplace you’d rather be?
Or are you in your comfort zone?
Triolet

Searching for the sun
On a dark and gloomy day
A field of sunflowers

This rainbow
Given to me
By Lord God
Just before
I received
My award
Of Mac High’s
Diploma
Syllabic Verse
This really happened at my Granddaughter’s High School Graduation! It was pouring rain almost thru the whole ceremony, we all got drenched, and then…just before her name got called to go up for her diploma the rain stopped and this beautiful Double Rainbow came out with the sun shining thru the clouds! So awesome!

I go
Dreaming
Seeking
Future
Visions
My feet
Stepping
Upon
My fears
