Shadows of Color


Shadow Dancer

In the light of day
love's shadow makes it's way
Once upon a time, not a reflection
but a work of art,
A thing of perfection

Live each moment as your last
and in lasting moments, console your past
Regret not, the where and the when
Think not, the could have been

Cast upon me, a shadow known
Now a shadow dancer, dancing alone
In my light, let the shadow fall
For in my darkness
There's no shadow at all

ROSE COLORED SPECTACLES

Is life a painstaking journey into night
or dawning of the day, sun shining bright?
The glass half empty, or the glass half full
A wool sweater, over the eyes to pull?

The glasses you choose, "shades" of black
or rose colored spectacles, keeping life intact
A royal flush, that is a mirage of mind
Or a winning hand with just one of a kind

I make my own history, which birth to death abides.
Each precious moment, a mystery, on life's train that it rides.
Rejoice in moments, they never come again....
weaving life's fabric, one of a kind.
For life is joyously refrain,
and judgments illusions of the mind.

No matter, rain or dark of night, each moments gift valued preciously
For life is a rose colored spectacle, the view I choose to see .
