A Stranger Prays For You

Somewhere out there
A stranger prays for you
Knows not your face
Or where you live
Or exactly what you do

But I know that you are fighting
A battle right and true
I hope you know
That in my heart
I am standing there by you

Somewhere out there
Be it night, or be it day
A candle has been lit for you
Shines bright
To light your way

Be safe, be strong
And always know
That you are not alone
An unknown stranger prays for you
Wherever you may go

     Enduring Freedom
 
 What price enduring freedom? 
 What is it we must give? 
 To have, and hold our liberty, 
 to have the right to live. 
 
 How many soldiers go to war? 
 How many lose their way? 
 That we can keep our nation whole, 
 and live from day to day. 
 
 When can we learn to live in peace?
 When can we cease this quest?
 And let our young ones live their lives,
 and put the hate to rest.
 
 How far will we go to guard this world?
 How many lives be lost?
 Until terror rules no more,
 no matter what the cost.
 
 Why have we placed ourselves at risk?
 Why is it this must be?
 One nation, and one people,
 would die that we be free.
 
 What price enduring freedom?
 Why it’s everything we hold?
 It is the strength that binds us,
 and this nation WILL not fold.

  I Hide Here

I hide here in the faerie rings
and wait to have the peace it brings

My tears stream down across my cheek
I move my hand to staunch the leak

My hand just cannot stop the flow
but with the tears some pain does go

I rock myself as faeries fly
and gather all the tears I cry

Within each tear they find a jewel
and place it within a faerie pool

Not on this earth, they must fly far
for each of my tears is now a star

And floats upon a sea of sky
and ebbs and flows, as time streams by

I give them all my healing tears
accept the peace, and lose my fears

And lay my head against your chest
I find some peace, and now must rest

  Faeries Flight

My dragon's name is Faeries Flight
and she lives within the glen
Her life is cast in timelessness
through ever, and through when

Her scales are muted rainbows
with a touch of starlight's glow
Colors that no palette
will ever touch or know

My dragon is a gentle beast
her magic heals a troubled soul
Within her dream's the power
to take broken, make it whole

A dragon fire is nurtured
from a star that once did fall
Angels place them in the dragon's breast
that it might warm us all

My dragon lives with faeries
with unicorns and sprites
She plays with them by daylight
but her realm is born of night

Tis then she casts off earthly things
and wings spread wide she flies
Past rain and storms, past mortal world
into a moon drenched sky

My dragon glows from deep within
iridescent through her scales
See my dragon at this hour
against her sunshine pales

Her wings are spread majestically
and she spirals into dance
As she whirls it makes moonbeams freeze
places angels in a trance

My dragon's wings beat out a melody
a primal passioned plea
That touches each and every soul
wakes them, sets them free

It enhances every movement, every breath
of what might be
Opens eyes forever closed, wakes them
that they might see

My dragon's name is Faeries Flight
and she lives her days in light
But the magic in my dragon
is born again each night

emme 2002 Haunted

Touched by spirits
yet unseen
Gentle spirits
never mean
Hold my soul
above the fray
That would torment me
night and day

Touched by spirits
tender hands
Held in safety
no demands
By their touch
become a part
And hold a place
deep in my heart

Touched by spirits
that I might be
Awakened now
you set me free
Please, spirits stay
forever near
Your haunted presence
ever dear
