Mexico’s shine.
Birds, lizards, neon flowers.
Luscious concoctions
make me hesitant
to exhale.

I want to own
the colors
and aromas.
A lifetime of nature’s
pallet and perfume.

Mexico’s glow
riding upon the sea.
Perfectly rounded
gray-lavender rocks,
like moons stacked upon clouds.

The rocks remind me
of us,
happy and waiting
to explode into the sands
and know the light of Mexico’s shine.

"Let's find a Way today..."

Let's find a Way today,
that can take us to tomorrow,
We'll follow that Way,
A Way like flowing water.

Let's leave behind,
the things that do not matter.
And we'll turn our lives,
to a more important chapter.

Let's take the time and try to find,
what real life has to offer.
And maybe then we'll find again,
what we had long forgotten.
Like a friend, true 'til the end,
it will help us onward.

The sun is high, the road is wide,
and it starts where we are standing.
No one knows how far it goes,
for the road is never-ending.

It goes away,
beyond what we have thought of.
It flows away,
Away like flowing water.
