Gardening of the Mind
Well…it has been along time since writing or updating my blog. I compare my website to a wild neglected garden and being tired of looking at the mess finally stopped long enough to review and update several things. Evolution of the mind has caused me to review my presentation and bring forth some good changes. Cultivate the mind so that new ideas can spring up and change your environment.
Soon to become Art Instillation…Celebration of Family, Power, and Words of Affirmation.

Tell me the difference between imagination and reality.
Tell me the difference between imagination and reality
How is it that your love touches me to the extent that it moves my body
A love so strong it whispers a language that touches every cell of my being
Tell me the difference between imagination and reality
I can never forget the first time you smiled for me
Thanks to the creators of Skype
You smiled for over an hour
Your smile radiated light upon me
Oh my sweetness on the rainiest of days when I feel a need for you
I remember that smile and the warmth that lighted my heart
Tears of joy drop from my eyes and I smile
Tell me the difference between imagination and reality
There was a time my heart was in distress and you made me laugh
It made the heaviness disappear and every-time I remember that day I laugh some more
I love you
Tell me the difference between imagination and reality
How do I explain my heart being captured by a man I have yet to meet
My soul-mate you are… for the language you speak has escaped from my wildest dreams
How long is to long to wait for the day we shall meet face to face
Is it presumptuous to say we shall meet sometime soon
The vast ocean expanse… love traveling over the distant lands
Arriving dusty thirsty at my door
Hungry for my loves lips
Our first kiss
Our first embrace
Our hands touching for the first time
Tell me the difference between imagination and reality.

Lullaby
Lullaby
My heart is aching for you
Longing to hear the sound of your voice
Music to my ears to hear your sweet love songs
Tell me again that you love me
Even better show me step by step
Touch me deeper and deeper until my heart sings
Lullaby me to sleep with thoughts of you
My Prince
We have never met
Yet you have touched my heart with your love.
