What characteristics do Olde Souls have? Depends on who your soul associated with. My soul seeks out openness, honesty, tenderness, laughter, and a level of comfort.

Sometimes the smallest things mean the most.

Keith is another Pisces and it is strange how much we are similar. From the same jokes to synchronized driving to sitting in the circle, we have done it all.
Truly an Old Soul... part of mine.

Reflected, The Island Lights

your smile
took me by surprise
allayed my pain and thoughts
for awhile

We talked and you made me laugh
and you came to me
like
some gentle
magical
night spirit
laughing and dancing
through the shadows
you passed through
my walls
and defenses
with practiced ease
as mans reflected amusements
or horrors
played out around us
in the lights and the lake

I forgot life
and thought... only of you
you danced
awhile longer
for me.

and with silent tears
I watched you pass from my sight
fading
with the silvery light
of the moon.
and with her grace...
only darkness now


Draw

We neither chose nor agreed upon
the circumstances
or arena
in which we play the game of life
but we did make the first half easier
by sharing a smile
and now
i offer friendship and respect
with no trick shots;
i ask for nothing more
from you
some sneer
and say
we broke the rules
but i cannot see why- white isn't all that pure
nor black for that matter,
either
love is locked
into that nondescript gray
somewhere in between
the key
in winning the goal
is a smile
played by opposing teams
of one.

I can see you
walking away
and it hurts
not because you try
it's just the way I am
when we are apart
you exist
only on the edges
of my perceptions
fleeting, ephemeral
a shadow
better to have you close
where your
existence as my friend
is concrete
a reality
irrefutable
proff... of the bond
we share
sometimes I am afraid
unsureof why you are here
or when
you will leave
I only know
if that is the reality
I would sooner die
never having known you
or the comfort of our souls

Pleasure Island

I could
without much effort
get lost
forever
in your world
happy to share
even the tiniest corner
or fraction
and I prefer
to walk away
rather
than cause you pain
discomfort
or loss
leave me to my imaginings
I will sit
with you
on the bench
by the water
if only in my mind
I will enjoy you
until
you too
eventually wander
away

A Word of Love

the gifts
are much smaller now
no flashing lights
or clanging bells.
it has been a long trip
to sorrow
and life,
now that I am older...
a shell,
tossed aside
by the ocean
an autumn leaf
first fallen
the colors
melting away
to where ever colors hide
a bird song
in the morning
or rain
gently caressing a plant,
coaxing him
to reach toward the sky
and live
the universe
these.
are my gifts to you now
Jon
now that you are gone
a word of love
now
that I am older.

The many Faces of Jeremy!    

ok, no one said Olde Souls can't be goofy. Jerm probably has his head screwed on better than most people I know. He loves to have fun, loves sea lions, and loves himself... can you say that about you and really mean it?

TJ, confusion abounds in his world, but if he can manage to focus, he will win the prize. (of course he will be the first to ask, "what prize?"

Brandy, the inquisitor ( she's the one in the glasses)

Always quick with a question, but quicker to observe.

My daughter. Haven't seen her in a very long time and I hope she is doing well.There is a bond we share and it is the soul.

Nikki's Fall

The goodbyes

                                            are easier now

and that scares me,

as the passengers clamore

          and the engines whine

signaling

              our final goodbye

              not even a tear stains my cheek

where before

they flowed like spring rains

                                holding you close

I memorize

                         your every detail

                                   as you do mine

                                      not knowing when she will let us

visit again

          The sinking sun

red and so warm

cannot touch the cold within

                         a final glance

and I turn away

a single tear

catches the dying autumn sun

I love you

Nikki 3

Once again

I pick up pen,

with brother ocean at my feet

no other way

to show I love you

you are three

now,

I too am older, but

far more than a year

the sea brings me comfort.

thoughts of you

rush in,

carried on the white caps of the waves

The times

I've seen you,

held you,

can be counted on one hand.

yet

those times

are forever locked in my heart

ONE.

trusting,

you climbed upon my knee

without a sound

your eyes, so innocent

probed mine

and you slept.

TWO.

You arrived

amidst

the noise and confusion

of mans world

turned against himself

once again,

that glimmer of recognition

as our eyes met.

the first time,

"daddy"

how I loved

the look of wonder

as you discovered the places

special to me

THREE.

ah three,

the joy of a sentence

and your voice,

miles away,

... a whisper

over the land,

gathering speed...

and feeling and power,

hits me like

a cold wave

my heart yearns

to be with you

Some say

I cannot love you much

to stay so far away,

But I do.

every day

I wish to hold you,

every night

I want to see you,

sleeping

smiling

warm.
