OF SUNNY DAYS AND STELLAR NIGHTS

Quite often I drop what I'm doing
and stand back to reflect
on life and love
and the day ahead
and what the future holds
over the rainbow's edge.
I wonder about so many things
that wander through my head
though coming to very few conclusions,
just more to think about instead.

Sometimes I wonder
why I come here
to this particular spot,
this place I've come
to call my own
where I set down
at least a few of my thoughts.



I come back here again
with nothing particular to say
that's deep or profound
or wise in any way;
just sharing a few
of the sights and the sounds,
reflections crossing my path,
that I'm happy to pass along
and to share with my friends.

I come here in the middle of the day
and when the stars are shining bright;
I come here when I'm happy or sad;
it doesn't really matter -- day or night.
And I come here to this page again
because of the lines I read,
the words I hear,
the friends who share their wisdom
and their hearts with me,
not just once in a Blue Moon,
but whenever they can,
sharing sunny days
and stellar nightsand everything in between,
burning bridges of the past
and creating new bridges
to what the future brings.
