Calm Me --07.01.03 Monday--
Calm me like a lover's kiss,
Rolling off like the morning mist;
Show me that world in your eyes,
Let me delight in your laughing smiles.

Show me all that I truly can be,
Let me know how you really need me;
Keep me safe when all goes to hell,
Grant my wishes and cast your spell.

Wrap me up in fiery emotions,
Cast me into your immense ocean;
Light me up with intense heat,
Let it smolder and move our feet.

Calm me like a lover's kiss,
Rolling off like the morning mist;
Show me that world in your eyes,
Let me delight in your laughing smiles.

Keep me dreaming when all seems to fail;
Keep me motivated when I'm not compelled;
Just be there for me when I'm in need,
And show me I can be loved-- indeed.

Hope --06.08.03 Sunday--
Hopes of summer dance thru my head,
As quietly here I lay in bed;
Dreaming of visions, of future, of life;
Of a time well spent and of courageous nights.

Good times and bad,
Have happened all year;
But this time I know,
I am surrounded by those I hold dear.

I reach for the sky,
As my wings spread wide;
The future is before me,
And now I'm not afraid to fly.

Hopes for the best and hopes for them all,
Keep me on going when ready to fall;
I remember their laughter, love and advice;
And believe I am stronger and will succeed in life.

Sunrise --11.04.02 Monday--
A flash across the midnight light,
Changing everything to white;
Laughter bubbles up inside,
Feelings felt are so hard to hide.

White is quickly replaced by red,
Scatters night away to bed;
Loneliness replaced by feelings of love,
Confidence soars way above.

Pink crimson streaks across the sky,
Chasing away any thoughts of why;
Orange quickly leads the way,
Bursting in a brand new day.

Purple follows all the rest,
Bringing forth a brand new test;
A brand new chance to make him see,
Exactly what he means to me.

Blue shining skies top it off,
Melting off the morning frost;
Friendship burns in life's warm fire,
Hopes and dreams will soon conspire.

Sun rocks the daylight skies,
Lighting everything it spies;
A crush continues on full swing,
Until hearts' voice doth ring.
