"We Are Moments"



These are the moments
Each breath...
The in's and out's
Ups and downs
All steps taken
What has been given
And that which has been taken away...
This is our path
Of our making and creation
From what has been brought forth by us
As well as against us
We are in control of how bright we shine
Or how much we allow others to dim our radiance
We are our choices and actions
But we are not our thoughts
The sun will rise...
And set...
Reminding us that there is beauty in ending
And that light always follows darkness
Its our will and conviction to not forget this
To live the moments of our daily lives
Each day is given
But not promised...
Trust in the wisdom of those who have gone before us
Heed the warnings
Trust your truth
And above all else
Believe in you.

"Moments Through Seasons"


At year end
These are the days counted
Filled to the brim with moments
Added... Remembered... Divided and decided...
Never regret the ones that made your heart smile
Remember the ones that taught you lessons learned
Life is forever the teacher
And we are the learning student
Be present... Be now...
Fan the flame of connections made
Rise above the moments that hold us still
For we must be more than what we suffer...
As we bare reflection to moments passed
There comes a time when there are no words of description to be had...
Or actions made...
Sometimes, one must simply stand beside another being...
Honoring their presence
By keeping a deep embrace waiting when needed
Whether its solace... A memory... Inspiration... Or validation...
Approach these moments with vigor, passion, and conviction
Give it your life
Its our story
The way we are made
And how we got to where we are today
So if a moment is all you got...
Then let shine bright your inner light
As we exist within the moments lived through the seasons.

Merry Christmas! 

Happy New Year!

"Immunity..."



It only takes a single moment to make someones day
And one word to destroy someones life...
Do not proclaim unity
Yet deny and fail to involve a select few
We are all on this path called life together
In hesitation
Others find answers
Mistrust can be contagious
So many fail to shine bright
Instead they cast shadows
Not light...
Which action will make you most proud?
What deed will you be remembered by?
Do you offer more?
Or do you only take?
Do you plea for change?
Or do you make it so the darkness does not end with the night?
What is the greater good?
Or the worst crime?
Choices make us
Written in history is the words and actions we cannot change
Can you afford the debt of someones life?
Because some things should not come to pass
Like a being leaving this world...
Because of it...

"Rise Up"


To find ones self
We cannot base that image
Within the reflection of another being
We cannot add up all the broken to make us whole
Put your hand to your heart
Feel the pulse...
Life lives there
Self hate is too heavy of a burden to carry with you...always...
Let it go...
We are all travelers upon the same path
Pay attention...
Please...
Rise up
Offer a helping hand to those who may be quietly reaching
For it only takes a moment to ask, “Are you OK?”
Mind your actions
Take choice in words
If all that you can do
Is all that you can do
Then do it...
It will honor the place you stand
For life...
For those we love...
For your fellow man.

"Bleeding Tears..."




The moon shines white
A starless night
Actions abandon
Feeling burns
The last message received
Is carved in stone
The reason I now stand here alone...
Because you could not understand the damage done
All promises failed
Bringing this detour to a dead end
Teaching me the greatest lesson in loss
Trying to forget someone you loved
Is like trying to remember someone you never knew...
Bringing forth a wave of emotion
Reminding me that the most painful tears are not the ones that fall...
Covering the face...
They are the ones that bleed from your heart...
Covering the soul...

"By The Light of Dawn"


Sad moments are part of reality
And realization...
Some people may stay in our hearts
But cannot stay in our lives...
There are better ways to live than to be in constant conflict with your inner being
The world and life are just that
Heavy...
Chaotic...
And busy...
What happens challenges us
All moments connect
Our story is being written as we live it
It happens with us...
Or without us...
Its how we were made
Its how we got to where we are today
Nothing is ever gained with constantly tearing yourself apart
Battled within war
Like a storm upon the horizon
Pain can come swiftly
But just like all bad weather
By the light of dawn
This too shall pass
Clouds of gray will part
The sun will shine strong once again
You will do well to remember that there is a fire burning bright within you
That is why you should not fear the darkness
Not everything that you loose is a loss...
Find your place and your voice once again
Use it
Break the silence...
For we are forever learning
And life...
Is the teacher.

"Dust and Shadows"




We are the difference
And the change we make
Happiness is not perfection
Its looking beyond the imperfections
We must do our best to break the cycle
And the darkness...
This is how light will shine in
Poor choices..
Mistakes...
And other peoples insecurities are not the burden of others to bare
Discussions are made for building
Debating...
Fixing and clearing the air
Wasted time on listening spent
To only hurtful words spoken
Because silent tears always hold the most pain
Do your best to repair your broken
Before it adds to another...
Breaking them too...
Fix it or forget it
Because in your hesitation
Another will find their final answer
That sometimes forgiveness is granted
Apology is accepted
But to trust again is denied
Making their response to the silence...
Goodbye...

"Once So Strong"


This is our final note...
Our last song...
Change is upon us
From nothing came to be
A thing soon to be a memory
Seeds planted sprouted beautiful buds
A tender hand held the dream
Attention and love made it bloom
Beautiful to the eye was the sight
Bursting with pride the light shone
Tall and forever building beyond the boundaries
It weathered the storm
Through the thick and thin
It was tested to its limit of resources
Because as the months faded into the next
So did the vibrant colour...
Every day it got a shade more dim
Lingering pedals clung to the stem
Afraid to fall... and fail...
From the branches that once so tenderly cared
And held so strong...
A flood of tears rained
Washing away that final thought
Bitter and cold to the blowing wind of change
Ruin swept in with the darkness
We are the stewards that ushered this in
Now we watch over all before us as it takes its last breath
From every season there is a step taken
One to the next
On the pathway of life
This is our winter song
Where the deep frozen sleep brings an end to all that flourishes
Leaving a single solitary hope
For a new spring.

"Where Are They Now?"




Thoughts...
Words...
And moments...
Make me wonder
From where things were
To where they are now
Evidence shows the connection
Time has built the bond
Eyes search for the answers
As I ask myself...
Do you see what I see?
Standing before us
This chance at the ready
But between us...
Doubt...
To be bold and take a step
A leap of faith towards the unknown
My heart questions all
Am I the only one feeling this motion?
Am I wrong?
There is no assumptions
This is filled to the brim with deep thought
And laced heavily with confusion
Because here we be
Standing along side one another
Guessing...
Alone...
Or together?

"Unlocking The Key"



As we cry into the moonless night
Our thoughts run away with our minds
The pressure will always build, blocking us in
The light at the end of the road always seems to fade
As we privately struggle endlessly, before we search for a helping hand
The path before us will be shaded by confusion
Making us feel lost before we have even begun to be found
Locked away within the prison of our minds
Our vision blurs with multiple tears...
As we desperately scramble for the key to release us
Temptation will bribe our hearts
Because surrendering to the nothingness is all too easy
Seconds drag to moments
Will time ever pass?
Testing ourselves to the point of breaking
Hurdles and hoops have no power over the dark draining force of depression
But in the midst of it all...
One must try to struggle to remember that boundaries are to be respected
Limits have to be understood...
And goals in life should always be realistic
A last chance can only be fleeting steps behind us
While we remember that the past makes us who we are, and we live with that everyday
So don't allow the silence to become louder than your voice
We all have our battles...
And wounds...
The choice is your very own to make
Scars can be a proof of a moment of weakness
Or they can be a sign of strength
Speak up, and speak out
Reach out, and do your best to ask for a helping hand
If its the last thing that you do...
Please...
Reach out...
Save yourself before you fall
Let your voice reach to a listening ear
Because the unfortunate thing about the loudest of screams
Is that they will always fade
If you don't allow someone in to listen.

"Those Who Never Tried"



Its the feeling of a wish that you need to undo...
The hands that touch tenderly
And pull back in fear
Its the beautifully bright smiles that only ever stay as straight lines
Hopes grow, but the dreams are never fed
Because some days, words seem to bare more weight than actions
Multiple hints are dropped
But nothing is ever caught
Courage fades before there is ever even hope
Regrets are birthed before any choices are ever even made
And secrets are never able to be kept in the untold
Because devotion has dwindled to something that is very fleeting
Nothing seems to be anchored in anything anymore
Everything has begun to fade
Trust without assurance is tainted
Tenderness revoked is left tarnished
A chance upon multiple chance is never taken
So many bonds are never even forged
Because what could have been...
Is lost...
To you...
Those who never tried.

"To Let It Be..."


With the best of convictions...
Desperately do you try...
Picking up the various pieces of broken
Life...
Love...
And promises...
Bitterness bites in
Seeping in through the cracks
The light within is just a little more dim
Actions counted...
A life plan now abandoned
Emotions call out
Hands reach
Feet are ready to run
Tears stream down
Washing away the hope that remains
Everyday you are reminded...
That the pain demands to be felt...
Not avoided
As the list of realizations hit
Some subtle...
Others ever so fierce...
These moments define the path you take
Among the many struggles
How do you make yourself believe?
That you are worth more than forever waiting for someone else to be ready to love
Or to be considered good enough just the way you are...
But regret is too heavy to carry with you always
So how do you tell yourself convincingly...
That if someone wants to walk out of your life so eagerly...
Seeming to be so easily...
We are to let them go?

"Together Alone..."



Here we be...
Standing...
Waiting
Moments are now counted
Added and multiplied
Hesitation to continue holds me
Is the consideration worth the effort?
Does the want justify the need?
We have now arrived at the same time
But this feeling haunts me
That we are at two different places within our separate lives
First a thought...
Now I am wondering...
Weighing up the odds of being true
Promises were offered
Explanations made
It was stated that we were writing the same story within the pages of the same book
Yet... doubt remains...
Words now subtract from the meaning and purpose
Actions have come to divide the gap between two souls once so eagerly filled
With reality starring me down
I've come to know the true truth
That we are still merely strangers
Brought together by brief moments in time
Walking upon the same path of life
Together...
Alone...

"Found Among The Stars"



They say that sometimes there is no reason
They say time will always heal
But on more occasions then others
Neither time or reason will change, alter, or distract us on how we feel
We all suffer quietly alone...
No one will know the heartache that lies deep behind our fake smiles
The devastation of mourning will always show through
No one will know just how many times we have faltered
And broken down completely and cried
Losing you was difficult...
But the hardest part for us is to be here
Living with out you
Knowing that some day
Beyond our imagination
We will see one another again
But until then...
We are left with the loneliness of a loved one lost
Falling behind, and wishing upon the multiple stars scattered within the sky
But, perhaps, they are not just only stars
But rather tiny little openings in heaven where the love of our loved ones pours through
And shines brightly down upon us
To let us know that they are with us always
Even though we may not see them, they are there
Held tightly within remembrance
In memory...
And within the warm pure light.

"You Stop..."


This is your journey to where you stand...
It has been long and uneasy
Filled to the brim with everything that is life
Memories linger
Thoughts turn
Footsteps move forward
Lessons learned become realizations made
That you are bigger than these moments
And that your life shall not be framed by the faults within another
You make this choice now
To forgive...
Not for their sake, but for yours
Because like chains shackling you to your past
You will no longer pollute your heart, body, and life...
With bitterness or anger...
The time has come to remember yourself before them
To honor the path ahead
Remembering that sometimes we let go of people without even noticing...
The mind stops thinking of them everyday
You stop waiting for them to reply
Or that same old connection to be made...
You stop allowing them to take up so much space in your life
You learn to move out from that place in the past
The pull to be in the present
Going about your daily life
Brings motion and purpose
You stop expecting them to come back in that final moment with an apology
And the missing pieces that were never found
You accept that they are no longer part of everything you do
You simply let them go...
Allowing what has been fade from sight
Forgiveness is validation
And permission
Because hate is just another way of holding on
And they don't belong here anymore...

"How Art Thou Fallen"



Hatred...
The power of the word is so often under estimated...
The act of being said is done swiftly
Without cause or care to the weight it carries
The power and emotion contained within it
Words become the easiest weapons used...
The fire is built...
All meant to carve, slice, and dissect the soul
Fuel actions that cannot be undone
Resentment takes full control
Twisting the cold
Common sense is abandon
Scorn, cruelty, spite and prejudice seep in
Removing the warmth and kind...
Bitterness fails to recognize the difference
As it burns through the tenderness
Scaring memories and the heart
Pure childhoods are now left with marks that cannot be erased
Permanent stained hearts are branded with words and actions
Turning peoples light into darkness by blocking out their sun
Clouds of outrage form
The tide rise
A fierce wind blows in...
Storm clouds burst
Raining tears over the land
All the while the ones who once proclaimed their righteousness
Now beg, plead, and bargain for peace
And for the raging storm to cease...
We are the makers of the bad weather over our heads
And now they stand deep within the mud and heavy current of water flowing through
Screaming...
Its raining!”

"You Are Not Your Own"



The mind and the heart
Fight for the right of feeling and emotion
They beg the hands not to let go so easily
Not until every avenue is explored
And resources depleted...
Then maybe...
We will release that thing that weighs upon us
Draining our strength
Staining our moments within our daily lives
The realization hits
Second chances have that name for a reason
And are not privilege or a guaranteed right
Stop holding onto people that keep letting got of you
No one wants to feel as forgettable as their silence makes you feel
If it be your will and wish
To walk away...
That is your right
Give colour and light
Truth told in bold lines drawn in black
Don't give shades of gray filled with darkness and lies
We have boundaries and “do not cross” lines for a reason
We should not compromise ourselves otherwise
By crossing them when we are not ready to do so
Because tired...
Angry...
Sad...
Among many others things are those who are left waiting for what was promised to them...

"This World Inverted"




Read the words...
Feel them...
Listen...
Hear the voice screaming out
Let them build and form pictures
Broken images frame the scene
Etched with the pain
And faded by the lies
Thoughts crop the images short
Fade to black the sunlight smiling
Removing the use-to-be...
The once highlighted happiness has just become another pawn used within the game
Cheated has become the heart
Now caught in the middle...
Its a choice to care
To be more than these blind moments
That refuse to be smoothed over by a simple,“I'm sorry...”
A line is drawn
Fingers trace the edge
Tears attempt to wash it clean
Feet stumble forward...
Life knocks upon the darkness sneaking in
A choice now held within trembling hands
Will define the next decision made.

"If Tears Left Scars"




Words remain hollow
And actions all seem to be abandon
Each moment fails to draw up a conclusion
A point in time where one would seek a beginning or an end...
Making this all the more difficult
I desperately seek a cause
A reason to know...
We were not merely walking along carefree
A chance was won
The spark grew
Fanning the flame
Until each step seemed to become the same
No direction could be made
This pathway is plagued with confusion
Void of explanation
Seeds of hope did not bloom
Died within birth...
Just as they emerged from the darkness of nothing...
The smiles of bright light fade
Heads bow in mourning...
Tears escape the eyes
Washing away the last moment spent.

"Until That Moment"



I wait...
Eagerly...
Counting the moments
Doing my best not rush the motion or feeling
Smiles reflect the attention given
Emotions run
The senses are brave to indulge
Steps taken hold still upon the ground
Hands reach
All on baited breath
I hold myself...
Listening to the beat of my heart
And realize the chance taken...
That you never know what it truly means to be vulnerable...
Until you are standing naked...
In front of another being...
Fully clothed.

"Balancing Black"



Everyone is looking for someone...
Or something...
Sometimes we find ourselves in the spaces in between
We dream and dream...
And confusion plays with our fragile thoughts in our mind
Suddenly, reality becomes the dream
The fight that we are fighting becomes so much bigger than the people having it
We are finally able to flee the darkness that is holding us back
We pick ourselves up
And dust off the dirt of the past
We look straight ahead
But we still waiver
In broken moments...
Our imagination pulls us back in
Shattering all trivial events, feeling, and emotions like glass
We know that we should watch our step
To avoid and eliminate the pain
But our tears catch the sharp edges
Captivating our foolish hearts into believing that we deserve nothing more than unhappiness
To be forever lost and alone...
Balancing the heavy blackness.

"Done Waiting..."


It all seems to start with a claim...
A title...
Or a name...
Two players want to play the never-ending game
Empty actions distract you from true intentions
This kind of pain and heartache only causes you to lose hope in love
Anger pulls...
And jealousy blinds you with illusions
But my mind is not your mind
My actions have been nothing but true
No deception, lies, or mistrust
The space between us cannot be ignored
But all the same...
Does the emptiness beg to be filled with a broken heart?
Because mine is not too keen on breaking
So why does it have to come down to this?
We are not children
And games are meant to be played upon a board
So stop gambling with my emotions
And playing games with my heart
Because I am simply done...
Waiting...

"A Different Day"



Gently within the casting shadows
We see a soft dim light break
The image of you lingers within the memory of our sight
As our senses hold onto you-their last indulgence
Each day seems to draw out a little longer
Moments are recalled during those times when the suns last rays go down in the far west
Where the warm beating sun meets the calm blue horizon
And the flame of remembrance still burns bright and true
Some day we will figure out the seasons of our lives
Because there is a time for the grief of love that has no place to go
Even though we may falter sometimes to remember those who have left
They are never truly gone
They stay with us always
Ingrained within our daily lives
Helping us...
Holding us...
Guiding us through...

"One Of Those Moments"




Steadily you wander down the lonely track of life
With one foot in front of the other
The direction is unknown
Time waits for no being
But here...
These moments linger briefly in the warm sun filled days of early July
Senses are abandoned to the vast surroundings
Imagination runs free
Held tightly by fierce convictions
Your soul is filled with yearning
Everything is in a moment
Change is every where
In a single second
This is the closest a being could get to perfection
Then blinking...
With the swift uplifting wind...
Disappearing just as easily.

"Better Than Words"



Life happens all of the time...
And is made of many moments
Some push us to the limit of understanding
Leaving us frozen
As if no second chance will be given
But maybe your not broken...
Maybe you are just temporarily dismantled
Awaiting the right parts and pieces for assembly
Because for some reason, we sometimes forget more than we remember
So take this moment...
Plant your feet firmly to the ground
This is where you stand
Let the tears of suffering rain down
Washing away the pain
Let the death of the darkness carried within
Give birth to the new you
A being glowing bright light
Just beneath the surface of your skin
Reach out...
Make that mark in time
Claim your place within it
Dream and believe
Have hope...
Make your self a promise and take the dare
Keep a weather eye upon the horizon
For the future awaits there
Giving the heart a place to focus upon and look forward to
Don't speak in a borrowed voice
Use your own uniquely to you
Because you do have something to say
You deserve this
Happiness is priceless
That is why its worth is limitless
Courage is in the next step taken
You are a reason enough to be brave
Making all actions taken now
Better than any words spoken.

"Not Just A Moment"


Lost in the broken pieces
Trying to find the light on the other side of darkness
Words fail to reach out
Holding onto the moments passed
A sense of loneliness weighs upon the soul
Feet drag upon the floor
Direction unknown...
A voice simply screams to keep moving
If you are to make this your last stand
Then take everything that you have into your hands
Make a fist...
And fight with every last breath
Giving birth within death
To a new hope
And a chance taken...
Because every minute is not just a moment
It's 60 seconds of endless possibilities.

"At The Edge"


To Run...
Or to stand and fight...
Footsteps falter
Either the mind is free to wonder
Or its caged within the corridors of the brain
Clawing at existence
From darkness to light
Fed by the senses
Beaten raw by the things that use to be...
Should be...
Or are suppose to be...
Hanging onto each moment by its fingertips
Like its the edge of life
We are at the mercy of time
Waiting...
Will all be revealed?
Or will be forced to dig deeper
Like mining...
To strike deep at the core
Trace the root
To where the breeding nightmare makes birth
At the point of validation
To make this more than these desperate breaths taken...

"Find The Destination"



Happiness is a destination worth finding
Let motivation find you
Seek the source
Find the root
Wherever that may be
Be more than these moments
Breath through them
Hold onto the compass within your heart
A direction in the minds ye shall appear
A leap of faith will require you to jump
So have hope...
Be bold and take the dare
Have courage
Sometimes we must take everything that we have into our hands
Make a fist...
And fight back with every last breath within us
Let your new path rise up and meet your eager feet
Regain your ground once so proudly fought and won
Because all of this is not merely surviving...
It's life...
It's living...
It's existing!

"Reflection At Dawn"




Its moments before daylight breaks
A blanket of chill and fog lays over the vast expanse of the freshly planted fields surrounding me
The light breath of dawn moves the tall green grass
As I walk, nature moves
Dew drops twinkle in the brilliant coloured lights of the morning
The wind calls my name
Knee deep in quiet moments
Its as if all traces of time vanish
I look around and drink it all in
A smile breaks my lips
As my cheeks are kissed by the fresh air
I look to the scars inside me to see the memories
So I may release the bondage upon myself
These are the things that some day I wish I could forget
But will always remember
I'm stuck here...
Remembering and missing you...
And wishing that you were here...
Even if it was just a glimpse...
A touch...
Or even a fleeting scent...
I know that you are still here with me
I feel you yet...

"Beneath A Broken Sky"



Side by side our eyes watch the final acts of the day
The sinking sun caresses our skin
Making us glow golden
The sun soon hangs low and is eventually swallowed by the line of tree's upon the horizon
A shadow grows across your face
The murmuring wind mingles through the branches
We lose ourselves in the inky blackness of the night as it drinks in the remaining light
The broken place inside of me aches now
As all former moments of us are robbed of tenderness
A silence like winter cools me
Nausea slowly washes through me
Time alters...
Moments suddenly seem eternal
The question of why you are breaking my heart echoes in silence
The milk of moonlight baths my face
Your profile is hidden in shades of gray
My eyes try to learn how to read shadows
Your eyes are blank and flat, as if they are made of glass
Whatever weighs upon your mind, you speak of nothing
Even though you are right beside me
You suddenly seem so far out of reach
And I...
Become only a visitor to my former life...

"More Than Never"



Cold in shadows
Some have forgotten how to fight in the light
How much of our lives are lived too late?
Because life should be lived by looking forward
Never back...
Think of your life as moments in time
Exist...
Because the worst kind of death is what dies inside of you
While we are still yet alive
It's better to make the change or choice
Rather than waiting for life to do it for you
But without action the promise of, “It gets better”
Or “I'll make it all right” means nothing
When wrongs go on unchallenged
Conversations are forever left filling in the words of those absent
With remembrance
Keep in mind that comments and remarks take on many different shapes
Always be sure to check for pointed arrows
And that it too is an act that should be done in moderation
Choose compassion before judgment
Make the call...
Sometimes, in life, we have to be brave
To stand up for ourselves, and others
Because we are more than a victim.

"Own Your Time"




Time will always do what it does best
Move forward...
But you have to let it
Release your steady grip upon the hour glass
Stop counting the lost moments
And all the minutes that have already passed
Be the change that you want to see
Let it take root deeply within you
Feed it
Let it grow
Pick the sweet and tender blossoms
Because measurements of time in life never add up
Its either too long
Too short
Or never enough
So its your choice
Choose...
Take a chance
Win or lose
Be it
Live it
Own it
And never give any of it back.

"Hear My Repetition"




Still...
Even in this moment...
You have not heard the words I have spoken
So hear my repetition
I know my own worth
I've paid dearly for every ounce of it
With blood...
Sweat...
Tears...
And almost with the very life force keeping me here
So hear my repetition until you actually understand
I will not tame myself to fit in to the box you wish to confine me in
Or the label you wish to place me under
I will not surrender my being to suit your view
These words are my repetition
No one is perfect
We are all continued works in progress
Traveling on our own journey
So when you ask me to take a step back from the well won fight
To dim the brightness of my light
Yes, it does offend me deeply
And everything that I have come to be.

"Selfish Request"




Seconds merge into moments as the silence draws together your life
Because everything before these last few days seems but a memory
It wasn't long ago you were beating down your own path of life
Step after step you were building into the future
But the longing truth was something that could not hide from you
Footsteps now falter and slip into sorrow
Days gone by do nothing to ease or erase the pain
And the continuation of the heartache to come
Fragments of yesterday are now to hard to recall
Your stuck here, in this life draining seconds
As the once bright eyes of love grow cold
All colourful happiness is tainted in shades of black
Suffocating the warmth within your heart
You feel the sharp stab of life that comes with the realization made
There is no going back
All that there is left now is a stranger that you use to know
The tension of the atmosphere wants to make you run away from it all
Because you won't just simply surrender
You have to forcibly hold yourself back against your will
Because it takes one hell of a man to be a better man
Than no man at all
And if you don't draw the line, then there won't be one for everyone else to cross
Maybe some day, mixed within all of the random possibilities
You will understand
But right now...
At this second, and many yet to come...
You don't...
All you want to know for your well being
Is the one word that forms the never-ending haunting question...
Why?
