Terraforming her world
Terraforming her world Years of running the gauntlet Between lies and foolishness Had exiled her from the very solution She needed. So it made the miracle all the more miraculous When her cold Antarctic heart Submersed within the thawing touch Of his love Terraforming her world From fear To a place Of beauty and rest.
Where sweet flowers bloom
Where sweet flowers bloom Where do you bloom, sweet flowers of love? Beneath storms of despair or bright weather fair In droughts of gloom or the sea’s hidden womb I’ll find you, roses of life, petunias of light Come out, I know where you hide, In arms open wide For that is why you are…

All of nature subdued
All of nature subdued Like the skies that held back water Were suddenly rent in two As the downpour drenched the earth On a park bench with you Soaked to the bone but hearts content For where love is present All of nature’s wrath is subdued
Upon these waves true and tried
Upon these waves true and tried Dance, oh sun, your slivers of gold upon this glassy sea That touch the heart, revive, and enlighten me Cast your colors at eventide Reds and violets across the ocean wide Waste not a moment on waves true and tried To bring me safely to shore And return me…
From rain come flowers
From rain come flowers Oh my love, have I fallen like Rain upon mud-sodden ground That turns your love away From the sun I’ve always found April-soaked puddles Are where May flowers abound See how the one relates to the other Both in spring’s forest Where forgiveness and love Are the sweetest sounds
I will awaken as the spring
I will awaken as the spring Come and live Hoots the owl on the bough Echoing spring’s pulchritudinous vow To drink at the river like the loving deer All the forest begins to cheer Awaken bears from your winter’s rest Provision is here of all the year’s best An abundance to eat Come and be…
