Tulips in the garden
The moon in the sky
A lighthouse in the distance
The fireworks in July
…

Our arms around each other—
Like the roses petals tight
We drift off into gentle dreams—
Meeting again within the night
…

I look back upon that day,
One like any other
A walk through the woods,
In search of some wonder
…

I was a child
And you were likewise
I kissed your soft cheek
Looked into those eyes—
…

The solitude, the sunflowers, the everything
I get lost— lost in it all
My head tells me I’m wrong
But my heart tells me the truth
…

The silence was deafening
Time only happening
As we stared deep…
Deep into the others soul
…

I had imagined it a dream
Or was it all playing out in time
The colors I saw so brilliant
Each so vivid within my mind
…

Until that day,
I was a depressed boy—
An anxious boy—
Beaten down by my own mind
…

I stepped forward
Putting beside my fear
Into the unknown I went
Two cheeks full of tears
…
