Today's kiss

Life's length is short in my chest
I feel it lessen with each breath.

Tomorrow's excitement never leaves me,
Yet today's kiss is always pleasing!

I meet the wind with a smile,
The sunshine my domicile.

Heaven's eye was but a glimps,
Angels flutter - felt not since.

When my head lays in the clouds,
I'll choose a song to sing aloud.

I will not sound of human things,
Like a sparrow I shall sing.

Freedom

Let's disappear free from our fears
And when I shut my eyes only lullabies
No distant surprise.
The sun sets behind my lids
And I soar to give it a kiss.
To leave this life I could not resist.
My body floats through the leafs
My ashes in the trees
And at last I'm free.

Truths Mystery

Intimacy with a stranger makes an instant friend.
To share a secret humbly bonds a vulnerable soul.
Our minds are castles with vastly hidden compartments.
To conquer it's inhabitants is a never ending conquest.

Lost in the labyrinth we search for the unknown.
Suspended in space our universe swallows hard.
Drowned beneath the stars and explosions in the dark.
Buried deep in the soil of the ticking time bomb.

By tidal waves we are unearthed - shaking the spark inside.
Floating between life and death and all uncertainty.
We wake to see the misty glory -
The truth wrapped in a robe of dreams.

Is it true, is it real the things I feel
The touch that set me free
The vision that I see
My dreams - will they die with me?

Dancing light

I am alone.

People are occasional light beams through my stained-glass of a life.

Memories are melted metal holding the delicate, sharp edges together.

One piece alone is unrecognizable,
But together paint the beautiful picture
Brought to life through the light.

I need the light.
I need you...my friend.

kite in a tree

On a bench I sit, by the water, during what I believe to be a perfect spring day. I am technically alone, but am more than enough to keep myself company. There is something that is simple and sweet - yet complex and consoling which consumes me during my solitude.

I hear the wind - feel the breeze...the blue of the sky and green of the earth flood my eyes.  This is it...the moment in which I am truly happy.  Everything feels right in the world at this exact second.

I seek to find this feeling to hold it and breath it in for a blink of an eye. This is why I live adventure to adventure --- this is why I am an explorer.  This second drives me, it's the muscle that pumps my veins full of blood and gives me a reason to breath the air.

People wonder what being a free spirit is - a gypsy seeking and always finding...the need for your senses to explode with new sights, smells, tastes, sounds and feelings! To fly free! I am a bird - a free soul - seeking continued freedom and enlightenment.  I am free to be the uniquely flawed individual that I am. Free to love - free to feel - free to stand still. Free to just be.

I am not a nester. When I lay my head down I don't dream of a nest to settle into and live comfortably forever. I dream of the unknown that lies ahead. My home is wherever my head hits the pillow.

This is why I love my job - it literally gives me wings. It gets old sometimes and I miss some in my life at moments, but the one person I have always relied on is continually by my side.  I have been my best companion - my closest confidant - my most intimate friend.  Sad to some, but gives me great pride in who I am.  Unlike most I look in the mirror every night and no matter how bloated, broken out, or grumpy I am I always think I am beautiful. I have unconditional love, forgiveness and grace for myself.

This is ultimately what I want to find in someone else.  Someone that can see past the bullshit and look at me for who I truly am.  Thank you to the people that do this in my life and the people that put up with me in spite of the bullshit! You that have stood by me through the good and the bad and have ultimately helped me find myself and my wings - I am forever in your debt!

I was a kite in a tree and you set me free!

To: today,
you never cease to amaze me with your beautifully surprising gifts. Thank you for never being a disappointment. Sorry for the many times I have spoiled you!

Your friend...in peace,
Stephanie
