"Back To December"




There is something about December...
And letting those last few days of the year go
The calendar has run out of numbers
And this final month will soon be done
Reflection seems to run deep
Sifting through the moments gathered
Happiness seems to always battle it out for first place
The runner up is life...
The heaviness of sadness and bitter hours are counted
We try to remind ourselves that the pain makes us real
It keeps our eyes at attention
Hands upon the wheel we direct ourselves through
The ups and down's in life follow our heart beats
If it was a flat line...
We would not exist...
Don't let your past mistakes make a mess of your present
Heed the warnings and lessons learned
Yesterday and tomorrow are the days you cannot change
But this day lived
Is filled to the brim with possibilities
Remember that saying it means nothing if your actions betray you
If your gonna be brave and paint with all the colours
Why not use them all and let them shine bright
Because oddly enough...
Ripping off the band aid helps with the healing
If its all that you can do...
Do it well
Life happens always
With out without you
Only when the darkness settles in
Is when we miss the brightest moments the most
So as the page turns another chapter in our history
Let the promise of a new hope begin
Its a step in an exciting adventure
Our story makes us stronger
Its the foundation laid
So this coming New Year
Start within.

"The Truth You hold"



Cold is your soul that cries
Lost within...
Eyes search
As you continue to lose balance upon the egg shells you tread
Actions are held within your hands
But the decisions are held hostage within the mind
So you continue to dance with the skeletons in other people's closets
Making you fall behind in life...
Exhausting is the effort you take
Trying to fix something that is not broken
Abandonment seems to be the easy choice taken
Burying all hope that could exist...
As you forget a little more
Everyday...
That love is love
And it should not require a specific label.

"Seasons Of Life"




Gone are the green days of summer
Even the bright and vibrant colours of autumn have faded
And frosty mornings now have settled in
The moments and months have all blended together
Adding up to another year spent
As we approach the last few pages of this chapter
We often let the mind circle back and reflect...
The good with the bad mix together
Laughter and happiness mingle through
Lessons learned have left finger prints within us
Life's natural balance weaving its tapestry in time
We bare witness and are evidence of this each and every day
So easily do some of us fall behind...
When our mind fails in times of deep pain and darkness
We need to remind ourselves... and others
That we are more than these moments that hold us still
Allow your soul to take the steps it needs to heal
By placing one foot in front of the other and moving passed where you stand now...
Is the act of survival
Its where it takes root, at the core of you...
We must be greater than what we suffer
Nourish the soul and seek out the inspiration
Approach these moments with vigor, passion and conviction
Give it your life because the reward is life itself
A leap of faith requires you to jump
So its both feet in
Forgiveness, love, happiness, and peace...
It all begins with us
Be the keeper of the light that burns bright within you
As we navigate through these seasons of life.


Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

"To Life Be True"



Life changes like the weather
And some experiences lived are so great...
They change us
And how we view ourselves
You can't get back the time lost
Find peace in the days yet to be lived
The past is written
Tomorrow is a new page in life
And there is only two days that you can't change...
Tomorrow and yesterday...
Because on the dark days that grip us
We must hold out hope...
To be greater than what we suffer.

"We Are Life"



These are the moments
Actions and choices...
The act of movement of getting up with the sun
And being thankful for the breath taken in
Along with the ones put to rest with the darkness of the night
We are more than these emotions we feel or carry
We are not our past...
Those were experiences learned
Not to be a life sentence carried out
Mistakes do not define us...
We define us
Other definitions of what we deserve should not dictate our well being
Or path in life...
Life is meant to be lived out loud
Not in silence or among the shadows
Because denying your true self is never sound advice
To you be true...
Happiness is a right
Not something that must be earned
Though it does have to be sought out
Found and fought for...
Clear your mind of the confusion
Doubt usually means don't
Embrace the soul
Shine bright your inner being
For we have more worth to us than simply fading into all of the forgotten yesterdays
Take one step...
From where you are now
To where you want to be
That is survival at the root
The core...
The beginning...
Each day...
Each moment...
Here and now...
Remembering always
To go with life.
