Sweet Dreams

shows were good, I did enjoy, and now time to lay down my head... the pics have rolled across my screen of beauty and pleasures, causing within the often felt yearnings for passion again, pics of scenes near and far, homes new and so old, comments pour in from likes i have given, others admiring and liking the same, a busy night of who said that and what might I have missed, it is strange the corridors of fantasy we walk, I walk, wondering sometimes why I am here, a few smiles that warm my day, yet many friends have merely slipped away. Life takes them, or a different love fills their hearts with fantasies and delight, at least till the next flavor of the day comes along. We play with hearts, never knowing the other face to face, we wonder about all the what ifs, and maybes, the if only and the long quiet inward sigh that resigns oneself to what is really true life. the life o those that surround you, family.. yet even they so often drawn away, all lost in our busy little worlds and yet each one seeking for that one, whose hand you might hold for a few, whose arms might return a hug a kiss, even if only here in this fantasy world... still we dream, we hope, and perhaps one day.. to often though we reach out and there is only air.. so taking wing, i do bid thee all a good night..

Dance

Life is about the dance, some have a bit of tragedy and some dance for joy, it takes a little of both in life, and we might hate the tragedy hoping only for the joy, but it is the moments of struggle that seem to make and shape us, that will grow us inside as well as outside. We work our bodies to shape, to tone to feel good, but those hours of work are not the easy hours, we can not gain shape staring at a screen, eyeball yoga, and eyeball martial arts, might make you think you can, but you have to do it. The same goes with life, we come and go in work in love in friendships, we devote to one, and this too takes work and is not without it's times of struggle, still we hold on, it is our nature we are islands and we are herds of people in need.. life is a dance, enjoy each step being it of struggle or pleasure it is what makes us uniquely us - PA

Wants

Saw a sign the other day, and it is so true, something I have believed in for a long time, and though I know, i still think i do just what the sign said, "We want what we can not have and what is right in front of us just waiting to be claimed and taken, we don't want, or we push away" It's as if when something is easy, then we reject it. Is this from the want of a challenge in life? I think not, the forbidden seems to have a draw on our attention, so many in and outs in life, men find it hard to understand a woman and women can't seem to figure a man out, perhaps we are to busy wanting what we can't have to realize what we can have is perfect for us and is there for the taking.. - PA

Day Job

Clients workers families, the juggling of time and space for each, family taking the back seat at times, so sad, yet clients must be served, is that the life we lead, such sad priorities, though I can not be with each hour of the day, in my hearts you shall always be, and foremost in my mind, so take a moment to kiss a cheek and touch the hair in warmth and delight, so many just waiting, the client can wait a little longer, the workers don't mind gathering at the fountain a moment longer while you take the time to tell each of those close your love for them.. have a fantastic day to all and enjoy this adventure we call life!! - PA

Hillside night

Remember when? oh how we often look back to a favorite memory, a memory of a time in our life, one of my favorites is still summer vacations laying on the side if a hill top, the city lights far away and so the stars seemed to fill the sky with endless depths. We might actually recognize a constellation, but i remember mostly we didn't care and between the occasional clouds, the star and the light of the money, cares were a long long way away, ah the days of summer between school years and the friendship of so many, and a time when time didn't matter so much, no rush, just peace.. memories, there ares so wonderful ones we have all made over the years, places , event, special days with a special friend, a night we talked so late into the night and I had to catch a plane the next day.. and on and on they do go, but the hillside will always remain, and the stars so far in our hearts so close... peace all - PA

Patience

Patience, a word, a practice, something we all seem to avoid, we want it now, that's why were carry credit cards right? and often we take that same want need greed, into relations and work and every aspect of our daily life's. never wanting to wait till it's the right time, but waiting for the right time is always the best. To soon and the satisfaction is often not what we thought it would be, or the outcome would have been better if we had done as our hearts dictated and waited a little longer. Something we so often learn after the fact. We live in an instant gratification world driven by our wants and desires and the "gotta have it now" mentality fed to us daily by the media of entertainment, yet life isn't a 2 hour movie, a hour long episode, or a 30 minute sitcom, it is life, and with strength of character and friendships and family, we can all learn patience and learn to breath and wait till the timing is right .. in what we do here we learn that quality takes time, and a rush job often comes back for more work when if we had done the job right it would have reflect the craft of our trades... enjoy this day, and in the end, look back and say to yourself well done, life is a grand adventure, enjoy it, don't push it - <3

Minds

How the mind works, often in strange ways, a scent a smell, a glance, triggers a long forgotten memory and they all come flooding back, oh, nah, never forgotten, yet they return with all the emotions you felt at the time they were made, yet they return with less and less pain, and the essence of what was remains, the kind words, the touch of thought, of heart, the time she picked me up and washed my wounds, listened to my stories and smiled, told me life would be "ok" Then slowly I watched her own scars she kept hidden from the world heal one by one, from a simple time of sharing the thoughts that held us captive to dreams that can never be dreams of what life should be for two so well matched. Then we learned to accept what life did offer, that to bring pain to others so close was not the way, and through the years now apart, the memories of her still have a way of touching my heart, she still brings a smile with each distant recurring thought she will forever be my bossette <3
