sweet dreams


did you nod off?
he asks,

as if she would answer
from all these miles.

his love reaches
to her bedside,
a mind cast beside her.
this shared moon shines
passionate lunar kisses to her face.
peace he finds there
and his heart is glad,
for though she is far
she and he
are always near.

Choice


This is where my heart is
This is where I’m home
This is where the bridge is
Between spirits here and there
I stand here and look at you
Pride and love and joy
The life you bring
To this once lonely man
A gift from God
And I turn and look forward
Pride and love and joy
The life you bring
To this once lonely man
A gift from God
This is where the bridge is
Joining lives and loves
Across a wide expanse
Shared across us all
I stand solid for you as one
No choice of life is needed
My greatest gifts of all
You are where my heart is
You are where I’m home
