You and MeAnd the Lake        Of the Dancing TreesDark   under the quilted sky,     the lake lay,       resting peacefully,when my dream exploded           right outside the tent!You   went on sleeping.Me   running fast      over cobblestones         through deserted streets             looking behind in fear.while You                stood,   delighting in the busy hum,      admiring the shiny metal,        savoring          the dripping                          honey. Lighning struck.    I bound, surefooted,      up the mountain,Fear,   caught in my throat,       fast          home            coughed it out   and sat in the rain,                            sweating.You,   drugged by sensations      and the sense of no shoulds,Caught unaware   on the seesaw      between not enough                       and too much,Seared by the thirsty sun,   skin moisture sucked up like snow     and spit out                in ice balls.Thunder   was not enough.                  You danced for more.Me,  searching for constellations    among my freckles,Dot to dot,  rock to rock,    butterscotch pine puzzling,      “How do I fit into this,So small here,   crouched by the water,                under the Milky Way.?”Out of the corner of your eye   you swore     by moonlight, starlight,      (firelight, flashlight?),   you caught the trees      looking at you         from on stage…                       and dancing.You,   still ,     looking within.Me,   moving, looking out,     intrigued by bird and bug,                                   and flower,       and          how things changed                          since last year.The lake -  a mirror,    holding us both.Tomorrow,   may we walk in beauty      away from the lake               of the dancing trees,Back to our poor               lives of luxury,  hot showers over burnt skin –     but under layers        of lotions, and pain,Oceans   of beauty                within.          for Diane, with love –              nancy hover

Another song for Sierra Deep blue eyes and button noseRosebud lips and wiggley toesLift your eyebrows - who knowsWhen your hair is gonna grow? SierraSo glad we found you!The more we're around you,The more we love yourDeep blue eyes and button nose,Rosebud lips and wiggley toes,Long little fingers in tight little fistsDimpled cheek so soft to kiss. SierraSo glad we found you!The more we're around you,The more we love yourDeep blue eyes and button nose,Rosebud lips and wiggley toes,Coos and hiccoughs, songs and sighs,A smile so sweet it makes me cry. SierraSo glad we found you!The more we're around youThe more we love you.

A Song Good and more Good is mine.Good and more Good is mine!Ever increasingGood is mine.Good and more Good is mine. Everywhere I go,I can feel the flow.Each moment of the dayI let Good have its way. I think it. I feel it. I say it.I give it. I live it. I pray it.I see it. I share it. I show it.Receive it. Believe it. I know it! Love and more love is mine….Peace and more peace is mine….Joy and more joy is mine… Everywhere I goI can feel the flow.Each moment of the dayI let Joy, I let Peace, I let Love,I let Go(o)d have It's way!
