An Old Poem, An Old Song, and An Unnamed Painting

i am

never by myself

alone

always One knowing all

i need

i am safe

but never soundless

the noisy tightrope

i walk

lovingly cradled by

the One

(written in 1993)

The Dream of The Lonely One (written in 1995)

Locked away inside
Long forgotten dreams
Was my destiny all in my mind
Plans I could’ve made
Times I should’ve stayed
Always thought I’d have you by my side

Was your love for me just an old daydream
Was the warmth of your hand a mirage
Are you real this time
Will I wake to find
The dream of the lonely one

This whole world spins round and round
All the bridges are upside down
The future seems lost behind me
Can I still believe in you

Can you promise me love will always stay
Are you certain I won’t lose my way
Are you real this time
Will I wake to find
The dream of the lonely one

Are you real this time
Will I wake to find
The dream of the lonely one
