"All is Forgiven..."

I forgive you for all of the anguish

For all of the devastation

For every time that I needed the truth

And you were faithless

I forgive you for the disappointment

For letting me live a lie

For allowing me to fantasize that I could be your one true

For abandoning me in chaos

And for leaving heartache and misery as my only comfort

I forgive you for all of the torment

For my loss of independence

For all of the disrespect

And carelessness with my emotions

I forgive you for all of the screams that I swallowed

For all of the tears that were shed

For all of the guilt you made me feel

And how my soul has been hollowed

I forgive you for yielding to your temptation of me

For making me feel like a cheap replacement

I must ignore everything that I use to believe

I forgive you...

I forgive myself...

I forgive you because it feels good just to finally let you go.

"Peace To You"

Here we are...

The last month of the year

All the moments gathered

Reflected...

Treasured and missed...

With so many days filled to the brim behind us now

Let us pause...

Slow down a little in the coming weeks

With deep remembrance

Come to peace with all things

End this chapter with a new vision looking to the next

We must be greater than what we suffer

This is our point of existence

Close your eyes and breath in the wind of change

Life's natural balance weaves us through the tapestry of time

We bare witness to this every single day

Tough are these feelings and emotions of growth

But bare with it

For this is healing

The root of survival planted...

It may not be graceful or pretty

But its the greatest gift you can give yourself

For peace always starts within

Upon the New Year a new page in life is waiting

Tomorrow and yesterday are the only days we cannot change

So be present...

Embrace the light and let the shadows fall

Find your feet...

Take step one on this new road ahead

To the person you want to be

For hope leads to belief

And conviction found.

Peace to you this holiday season...

Merry Christmas!

"Take The Dare"

Moments...

Life...

And all that falls in between

These are the decisions we take and make

A chance...

Luck...

Bravery...

Upon baited breath we wait

To take the dare

Pushing ourselves forward

Reminding ourselves that a leap of faith requires us to jump

Whether nerves or thoughts that falter

Its both feet in

So come what may

You can't fight unless you try

Take the call

Roll up your sleeves

Plant both feet

And greet what comes your way

Time waits for no being

It only leaves us behind

People find themselves here daily

Open your arms freely...

Extend your hands reaching...

Allow your mind to be embraced with belief...

Are you ready?

"Life So Changed"

Sometimes we don't know...

The direction to take

Choices and answers are made or explained

There is only so much the mind can bare

Our vision only allows us to view so far ahead

Not all can be seen around each curve of life

Forgive yourself for not knowing...

You did the best with the time given

Unsettling is the feeling taken

When we do not have control of our own heart

Behaviors cause our footsteps to falter

Forgive yourself for doing what needs to be done

And the being you have to be...

Breath...

Be still in this moment

Sometimes this is how we survive

We are all fighting against that thought

Trying to live through the decision made

That when you say, “ I miss you...”

Doesn't mean, “I'm coming back...”

And “I love you...”

Doesn't mean that, “I am going to stay...”
