"In Memory and Remembrance"




As dawn quietly breaks
The morning unfurls its gray wash over the flat countryside
A light mist seems to drift over the fields
As we come together on this day...
Many of us with dark circles, puffy eyes, and grief stricken hearts
We struggle with one of the worst parts about life
Saying the final goodbye...
Today, we have an official invitation to the dance of life
United we stand as one
And collectively we mourn...
May the boldness in our tears lend us the courage to transcend cynicism and fear
As hard as it is, our vision of the world, now changed
Should not alter...
Let this be the spark to re-light the fire within us all
Our spirit, and that of the ones we love can never be extinguished
In fond memory and deep remembrance we will fan the flame of those who have been lost
Because sometimes, all that we can ever do is try...
Try to make a difference in a world filled with so many differences
To try and change with a world full of so many changes
And to forever remember always
That tomorrow is never promised...
Life unfortunately reminds us of this today...

"With This Day"


It starts...
One little thing
The beginning...
A single seed planted
It grows...
Moments gather together
Thoughts play out
The hours of the day already grow long
Strength needed is sourced out and put into play
Building blocks of a wall are constructed
Eyes search for the exit
Scenario by scenario runs through the mind
All upon a continuous loop
Decisions and choices
Between what is right...
And what is easy
Doubt draws near like fog filling in thick
Confusion gives way to sadness
Anger is the by-product of everything left over
These are the moments when thoughts pause
Fight or flight...
You remind yourself that its just a bad few moments or hours
A bad day that needs to be done
It comes down to the ultimate choice
Though I do not surrender completely...
I am more than finished with this day
For it has taken from me...
More than I can give.

"Random Thoughts"



Time stands upon a moment
Stop
Pause
Reflect
Release...
Memories realize the true length of a single second
The surge
The push...
A constant forward motion
The heartbeat of life
A collection of emotions
A fire within the soul
Beings filled with light of infinity
Can cast so many shadows
Redefining darkness
We drive ourselves with blind vision
To places we do not wish
Understanding fails
Changing all
Words repeat
Silence speaks volumes
Deafening is the noise that can't be claimed
We are the keeper of this
The one who defines
Nurtures and consoles
We tend to keep more weeds in the garden of life that we do flowers
For our belief in them is skeptical
Based on a lie told to us once some time ago
We are everything that is nothing
Embraced by hope and faith we care
To the lengths of the earth we defend
All that which exists here before us...
Now...

"Take Away"



Sometimes we pull ourselves apart...
Ripping ourselves to pieces by the senses
In a desperate hope held
That we...
In some way, shape, or form can cure ourselves of these emotions and feelings
We do so by withdrawing...
Over and over again
To repay a debt we believe we owe
Sometimes we are so eager to kill the pain...
We take away the love and joy
The light from the dark...
Pushing ourselves to the brink
The very edge of bankruptcy
To make ourselves feel nothing
Just so we don't have to feel anything
Is like death while living
Please remember...
Our hearts and bodies are only given to us once
Truth resides amongst freedom
Don't suffocate yourself inside a box that you cannot exist in
Colour outside the lines
Live
You were born to stand out
Let hope lead you to conviction found
Because faith would not be faith...
If you only believed in it when things were good.

"With or Without You"



Why do we end up asking questions that we know we shouldn't?
Or already know the answer to?
I guess it is one of those things we can't help avoid
We are only human
Curiosity can be an interesting thing
Sometimes you just want to pick up your feet
One after the other
And run...
Sometimes there are those moments when tears fall
And you are not entirely sure the reason why
Questions and answers...
Are we ever ready to ask or hear either?
Like why do they call is heart break when everything feels broken?
If you have no space in your life for you
Then there is no space for some one or something new
Some sentences end...
All words form a complete decision
Strong and firm you have to be
Knowing that this is the better choice to take
And that no words shall ever fall from your lips after this moment
Because life continues to march on
With...
Or without you.
