Nearest Reflections

The spaces in my mind
take flight through the trees
endlessly roaming and wondering

My heart feels the pain
I'm taking time to catch my breath
to catch the beaming stars

My spirit is needy and reaches
for the purpose of my being
The strong sparkle of love I must feel

My soul is light and airy
but sometimes dark and aching
the contrast leaves me weary and bewildered

Living in the spirit
brings its good and bad
I fly and fall in beating moments

Up and down, true and false
the moods that tempt me
into paradise or darkness under

My emotions must stay calm
my thoughts maintaining balance
keeping me anchored and safe

Living for the momentary expectation
of intensity of feeling
the fancy and fantasy of all good

Isn't that why we're here?
