Live An Adventure Podcast

I wrote "When I Find You" circa 2005. I wrote it looking into the future. Ana and I got married in 2012. In 2016, I stumbled upon the poem "I Always Knew" by Rod McKuen. Both poems describe how the present, the past and the future became one when I held her in my arms. Every day I give thanks for my best friend, my travel mate, the love of my life, my wife. I give thanks for the love that brought us together. I pray that as you read you know that love will find you!!! Enjoy. When I Find You When I find you... I am going to make you a necklace with my whispers I am going to write you a poem with my dreams I am going to hold your hand with my hopes I am going to embrace you with my shadow Together we will discover a new world A world where the sky is green and the grass is blue A world where everything is possible A world where problems are lessons A world where waking up is the best time of the day because a new day is a new opportunity ...

Poem 5  by Pablo Neruda For you to hear me, My words Thin out sometimes. Like the seagulls draw lines on the beach. A necklace, a drunken bell For your hands smooth like grapes. And I look at my words from a distance They are yours more than mine. They go climbing over my old pain like ivies. They thus climb by the humid walls. You are the guilty one of this bloody play. They are fleeing my empty den. You pervade everything, everything. Before, they inhabited the solitude that you now enter, They are accustomed more to my sadness than you. Now I want them say what I want to tell you So that you hear them what I want you to hear from me. The wind of anguish still sometimes drag them. Hurricanes of dreams still at times tumble them. Listen to other voices in my painful voice. Crying of old mouths, blood of old pleas. Love me, companion. Do not abandon me. Follow me. Follow me, companion, in...

Ode to summer Summer, red violin,  clear cloud,  the hum  of a summer or cicadas  announce your arrival.  The heavens  arch  to a smoothness,  lucent  as an eye,  and below your gaze,  summer, you are  an infinite sky-fish,  shameless messenger  of praise,  lazy,  sleepy-eyed one,  little bee belly,  mischievous  sun,  terrible paternal sun,  sweaty as a toiling ox,  and the scorchiing sun  in one's head  is like a  sudden blow,  sun of thirst  crossing the sand,  summer,  desert sea.  The sulfur  miner  drips  yellow sweat,  the aviator  maps,  ray by ray,  the celestial sun,  darkened  sweat  slips  down a forehead  into the eyes;  at Lota,  the miner  scrubs  ...

Don't Give Up by Mario Benedetti Don't give up, you still have time to reach up and start anew, Accept your shadows, Bury your fears, Free your burdens, Fly again. Don't give up, that's what life is Continue the journey, Follow your dreams, Unstuck time, Move the rubble, And uncover the sky. Don't give up, please don't give way, Even if the cold burns, Even if fear bites, Even if the sun sets, And the wind goes silent, There is still fire in your soul There is still life in your dreams. Because life is yours and yours is the desire Because you have loved it and because I love you Because wine exists and love is true. Because there are no wounds that time doesn't cure. To open the doors, Take away the locks, Abandon the walls that have protected you, To live life and accept the challenge Get back laughter, Practice a song, Lower the guard and extend the hands Open the wings A...

Accompany me to be alone To get rid of the ghosts To get in bed without touching Accompany me to the mystery Of being alone together To go to sleep without expecting anything to happen Accompany me to be alone Accompany me in silence Talking without words Knowing you're there next to me and I next to you Accompany me to the absurdity of embracing without touching You in your space and I in mine Like a guardian angel Accompany me to be alone Chorus Accompany me Saying without words What a blessing is to be together and to be unfaithful only with this solitude Accompany me Loving you without saying it Touching you without contact the reflection of your skin in the light To think of me so I can live for you Accompany me to be alone To get rid of the ghosts To get in bed without touching Accompany me to the mystery Of being alone together To go to sleep without expecting anything to happen Accompany me to...
