To My Long Lost June

I left June in a cloud of summer dust not knowing when I would return to continue the quest of this blog; to entertain, educate, and inspire those who follow. With July now upon us and the dog days of August waiting for an opportunity to reveal  what it has in store, let us journey some more together. And so, here's to my long lost June.To faded glory of relationship. To dreams of happier days ahead, and to our heroes who save us from falling into the flames of our self destruction; whether it be a significant other,  friendship, or the love of God.

God Bless

For Paula:

Falling In The Fire

Lying there in darkness

Holding on to something

Left behind long ago

It's a lonely feeling

Leaves a coldness

Deep down in your soul

Wondering if you'll be

Saved by a hero

Or

Left falling in the fire.

Once upon a time

Is all you've ever known

But life isn't like that

When rain muddies your path

And you wonder where's your hero

There to catch you

When

When you're falling in the fire

Or just dreaming of tomorrow.

So in silence you go

Bitter with a wounded heart

And no one seems to know how you're feeling

Falling in the fire

But your soul yearns to rise

Out of ashes

Burning embers of hope

For tomorrow.

But tomorrow never comes

And today only lingers

Like a mythical creature

Waiting to carry you home

And God only knows

Who will save you

A hero

From falling in the fire

Or a sunrise renewed with hope.
