"Being The Moment"

Memories buzz

Time fills the emptiness

With the past and present

What has been now removed

Conviction reminds us that we are not entirely broken

This is a lesson learned

Live it...

We are this moment existed

Experienced and survived

This is how we start healing

We only do better when we learn from our mistakes

Now we must live from it

Maybe there is a meaning

Maybe you already some how know what to do...

Either way...

Plant a foot forward

Start moving

It will come to you...

Some people entire our lives

At the best of highs

Or our soul breaking lows

Life long treasures are those we keep

Others stay for only a short while

Teaching us the importance of being in the moment

Be kind to those around you

As well as yourself

Be aware...

Of the space you hold

The inspiration contained

Influence controlled

And the power that it contains

Surrendering nothing of yourself...

Always.

"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.

"Bleed Me Still"

We lie because we know the truth may hurt...

Sometimes the reason is for feelings saved

Its for the betterment of the state of mind...

Or in so many other cases...

The truth is twisted...

Provoking you to make choices that do not serve their interest

And this is where I am found

Another arrow shot to the senses

Fingers have begun to loose count

Each continue to bleed me still...

My ears can taste the bitterness of shaded words

Abandonment rips through tenderness

Dark shadows linger on this once bright path forward...

Reasons are not known as to why

My only guess is that courage is not a conviction embraced

My only certainty...

I am not the sum of your poor choices made

Nor will I lay claim to the heaviness

And carry the weight of your wrong actions taken

Your direct choices of exclusion are made...

And I am suppose to be the bigger person

To rise above the disappointment given

To offer solace and words of wisdom

When I am the one being walked over

Hurt to the core of the being of existence

From someone who is suppose to have love and care for my well being

There is no offering of understanding

Compassion is used to hide betrayal

Silence is the better...

Since empty gestures are laid at my feet like rose petals

All the while it remains the eggs shells I walk

Loosing my balance upon...

My hands were once willing to figure out this equation

But I will not hold onto your fragile heart

As you cover me up from the world...

I've lived beyond your limitations

And I cannot afford to feel bad for out growing you

When you chose to not grow with me...

"History"

In between the moments of then and now

So many things can change

Life is a wheel, always spinning

Not everything can be drawn up in a foregone conclusion

Taking a chance can be risky business

But actions not taken can leave you with years of deep seeded regret

The moments of life newly experienced are always worth living

Each vibrant second spent

Like broad paint strokes across an ever expanding new canvas

Paint with every rich texture or creative medium

Allow yourself to grow those new feelings of passion

Blossom into the future

Dream anew...

Become the leader of the path you find your feet upon

Even though some say it's the road less traveled

Strike out on the adventure that is you

Be all that you can be

Here and now

Steal every second if you need to

And run with the wind

Because the word “someday” is just another word for “maybe”

And “maybe” more times than enough means "no"

Do not limit your options or possibilities

Let life guide you

Hand in hand

Grab a hold of your life pen

Carve it, sketch it, write it, and create it in every way humanly possible

Because your history is your own in the making.
