Mi hai portato il sole,

dopo anni

di pioggia e tempeste.

My love is like the sea

Ever changing 

Yet ever constant 

I will always be there for you

Yet I can never be complacent 

Take me away 

Along endless shores

Cross oceans with me 

Swim through rivers 

Hold me when the sun disappears 

behind the horizon

Yet let me float away when the morning comes

and like the tide I will always come home

JOY

There is so much of it in this world.

So much of it in me.

So much I want to share—

a quiet, innocent joy

that feels too large to hold alone.

I see it in strangers’ laughter,

in dogs running without reason,

in leaves turning toward the sun.

It lives in all of us—

in every human,

every animal,

every growing thing.

We share this world together,

and somewhere between us

that joy keeps shining.

I see you only on my screen

I see you only in my dreams

Through glass

Through pixels

Through distances in thousands of miles

As well as just beyond your door

You, you have me sitting on my hotel room floor I’m calm. I pace. I sit.

My hands long to caress your smile

And as I learn to close my eyes

Feel both the treachery and beauty that is your soul

The masterful choice of words you select in every tune

What if these two souls, long been split Became one again?

Writing is feeling 

and as I write

my throat gets tighter

My heart gets heavier

Tears are forming 

Treathening to fall

Slowly at first

Then they are pouring 

Page after page

Slowly I can breathe again

My heart gets lighter

Writing is letting go

I’m looking for some silence, yet the world doesn’t shut up 

I’m looking for some quiet, yet my smartphone keeps calling for attention

I’m looking for some peace, yet my thoughts are turning me insane

Count your blessings as if it’s money

that you saved penny for penny 

Count them and remember them as valuable 

as the teddybears that kept safe your bed

Treasure them in all their simplicity

as the rocks you found and coveted as a kid

You life will be brighter because of it
