"We Remember Moments"

These moments now embrace us bittersweet...

We have now learned about the fragile and slender thread...

Which separates life and death

It's that breath taking suddenness...

As this new reality hits...

All that has come before this seems irrevocably broken...

Heads hang in mourning...

Sorrow is the price and debt we owe for loving you so much

Grief is the tax we pay for having the privilege of sharing in your life

What a strange and heavy burden the bonds of love lay upon our hearts

Yet, we carry the heaviness...

Like soldiers standing honour

You taught us this...

In remembrance you now live

Celebrating the dear and treasured memories past

Tears well and fall...

Our shapeless pieces of prayer whisper to you

There is no right time that we would have set for parting with you

Our hearts are ingrained with these moments of existence

Embracing our soul...

To the coming of day

For we, your legacy carry on

Living the seasons

Each morning at day break

Through the stillness in the deep of winter white

And the birth of spring coming

For death has not extinguished all of the light...

It has only turned them out because dawn has come...

Missing you won't be easy

But this we must do...

For we are here...

And you are there...

Now bigger than the sky

And underneath the moon

Forever and always watching over us

And the land where your crops once grew...

"The Year Before December"

December...

Chapter 12 of 12 soon complete

The last few lines lived

Page 365 of 365...

The days have gathered

Moments have been counted

Many forever treasured...

Some wished to be forgotten...

A year like no other

Humanity challenged...

A world changed by every definition

With a daily reminder of remembrance

For all that we have been through

To where we stand now...

New lessons learned

Challenging the experiences gained

Against all that which we do not know

The dividing line and the balance

Time and reflection

The will of survival

The light of hope held and given

To be greater than what we suffer

May inspiration lead us to a new appreciation found

Hold strong to your embrace in conviction...

Remember always...

You are not the darkness endured...

You are the light that refused to surrender

We are existence

The root to our soul of being

For we are only a moment...

And then it's gone...

Peace to you this Holiday season...

Merry Christmas!

"Space Between Us"

 

Sometimes...

We are pushed...

Beyond what our boundaries and limitations can bare

We are only human

Caution can be given

Good will can be stressed

But when all trust is broken...

After all warning given...

There is no returning to where things use to be

Giving up is not easy...

It takes great moments of realization found...

To choose the decision of abandonment

Acknowledging that which you have outgrown

Even though it has been part of your life for so long

There comes a time...

When the understanding is not realized or embraced

The cost and toll it takes from a being

Brings endless actions betrayed

That cannot be repaid by a simple, “I'm Sorry...”

Especially when endless chances were given

Unlimited acceptance offered

From a heart that gave to much of itself

Allowances now owe debts

Sadness has taken root

Deep within the broken

The length of grace has run short

What more is there to sacrifice?

What are the odds of survival?

Is compromise surrendering?

How do you make the choice?

When someone does it on your behalf

By not choosing you...

"Depth Of Damage"

 

A single word...

The length...

And true intent in meaning...

The description...

Or lack of any definition...

Lead to the actions taken...

Which now bear witness to the aftermath

And all to often, devastation...

Do you even know?

The true depth of damage

When ego driven control demands all...

The narrative changes to suit the day...

Is being right worth the cause of emotional war?

Where is the correction found?

Over shadowed by an uneven moral ground

Hidden is the truth behind the facade

For answers given are all reasons to nothing

A simple question was asked...

And lies were told...

Fed to the willing...

Poisoned was the fruit laid out

Cold and bitter was the taste

Allowances were given...

Until all reasonable cause defied explanation...

Time revealed all intention...

Silence found a deception come to light

It's not an over reaction...

For when betrayal is used to lead the heart astray

And force the view of many...

To make another less than what they appear

Or even feel...

You remove all validation

To the point of abandonment...

"Come To Say Goodbye"

We carry these moments with us...

Of everyday...

All the hope in tomorrow

And sadly...

Some of the regrets in all the yesterdays...

We surrender so much

The power given

And the power taken...

Forfeiting the right to heal

All the while the allowance for others is given so much

That we carry wounds with us

From mistreatment, to the deepest hurts

Please stop keeping score...

These are some of the hardest things you'll have to do in life

Grant yourself forgiveness...

Stop giving all of yourself to those who never show

And refuse to hold your hand as you stand in the rain

Let go of all the love for those who are not ready to love you yet...

Save the words of hard conversations

From those who will not listen to understand...

Remove your presence from those who are indifferent to yours

Give yourself the same hope, love, and kindness that you give others

You are deserving of this and more

Embrace the calm...

And the coming of peace

In the hardest, but best decision made

Only and all for you...

Because moving on is change

And its not about being cruel

Or even forgetting the lesson learned

It's having the strength to say, “You are not worth the pain..”

It's a bittersweet goodbye...

And a final farewell...

To be done completely...

With these moments.

"All That Can Be..."

 

It's there...

Beneath the skin...

Hiding from the light of day...

Coursing through fragile veins

It can turn the comfortably sweetness of life sour

Seeping in through the cracks of abandonment

It hits without warning...

Digging deep into the depths of the soul

This invisible force carries such power

It steals through the living moments

Staining all happiness

Taking the will of life...

The voice to call out

And even the name we give our being fades...

Memories fail at remembrance

The final defense against invasion turns the tides

A war within breaks out

Feelings turn blind

Emotions run fast

The dull ache gambles with all that can be broken

The world pulls at tender skin

Tears fall from this newly worn mask

Trembling fingers wipe away tears

Hands reach out screaming

Boundaries drawn out of fear

Now become the walls built beyond the comprehension of sight

A prison of blackness...

A cage of depression...

Here at the edge

Time stops...

Feet barely hold their ground

The mirror within bares witness

A reflection of life in transition

Reality is existence...

Its in plain view...

The question now is...

Will you let it choose you?

Or consume you?

"Trust The Moments"

 

Moments counted...

Learned and relived...

Cherished and forgotten...

This is the many parts of life

A breaking dawn with new hope

And yesterdays past

We are the caregiver of ourselves

The bearer of the light

We are not the sum of others wrong choices made

Nor are we the assumptions made against us...

Some moments come after years...

Others in a single second seen...

While many actually silently pass us by

As we come to the realization made

That we must remove ourselves from the presence of anyone who has hurt us...

More than they have loved and respected us...

One who drains the being, instead of replenishing it

To let go of the giver of unrest

Stealing our inner peace

We must grow within life

It's those necessary steps taken

Those moments of motion forward should be praised

Not used to condemn the negativity of darkness

So forgive yourself these moments

For not knowing what you didn't know...

Before you ever learned it...

Because sadly...

Some moments are beyond talking and trying

Certain ones just simply need to be done

Move passed that single thought

Of once believing you couldn't live without chaos

For life brings us a many of things we never thought we ever wanted

Let allowance and acceptance be greater than fear...

Have faith and hope

Find the lesson

Trust the journey.

"All That You Have"

 

Pause...

Be still...

Be silent...

Take a second for you

Breath in...

Exhale...

Even if its all that you have to give today

Embrace this moment for you...

We are not perfect beings

Find comfort in knowing we are all continued works in progress

Learning...

Healing...

Changing...

Adapting...

Who are we to judge?

How we are fixing what others or life has broken within us

Our happiness found or gained

Should not fall under any sort of shame

Sometimes its not about right or wrong

Or whats right and what is easy...

More times enough, its about validation

It's that calming embrace found deep within the words, “I understand”

When a helping hand holds you still

Wiping away your endless tears

We are the care givers of our humanity

The worth invested

And the debt taken...

All that is received or put out into the world

Making us the reflection of our true desires needed

Because life....

In all its various moments

Is meant for existence.

"Moments In Healing"

 

It's the light that changes...

From early morning dew drops...

To the last shred of golden sunset...

From shadows lingering

Changes converge...

Emotions run wild with the senses

Memories surge...

Reminders of all that should remain in the past

Sweet treasured flowers always grow

Amongst the many weeds within the path of life

These hands have wiped tears

While holding out hope

Shoulders have carried burdens

That ears do not listen to

We trade in our being heard...

For feeling safe...

The eyes carry the view of the world

Reflections and moments

Emotions run

Out of time...

Out of breath...

Passion is caring

Because like so many things in life

Pain...

Love...

Destruction...

And peace...

All start and begin in the smallest of places

The effort is in the trying

The will of persistence

Reminding yourself on those lesser days

That it's okay not to be, “Okay”

We are human...

Growing and learning

We fall apart...

The cracks let light into the darkness

We are not weak...

Healing is messy...

And carries no time line.

"Unsaid Sentences..."

 

It's always in reverse...

At the end...

We think of what came first

Those moments and exact feelings

Some have faded...

Others have changed us beyond measure

Makes a hope renewed from passion lost

All at the mercy of the hands of time

Past judgment...

A future unseen...

Wonder and confusion

All play with the thoughts strung together

A web of lies makes the soul seek the root of truth

It's the realization understood, that it does not have versions

Only absolute...

From the place where we once stood

To where our feet fall now

Words are like arrows

Hitting the target deep

Conclusions drawn...

Collateral damage complete...

The absence of another may not break your conviction

But their complete silence may test your will...

Regrets of missed opportunities form

From a stand off of opinions

Taken root in higher moral ground

Makes the steps forward unsteady

Are you prepared to gamble with something or someone you may lose?

Because hazed recollections fail as solid proofs of fact

The crossroads now meet...

A decision awaits...

What bothers you more?

That they were right?

Or that you were proven wrong?

The curse of a deep love is known

It's the worth given in caring so much

All unsaid by you...

And me...

"Parts Of Life"

 

Have the courage to be authentic...

Because barely surviving is no way to live...

It is never wrong to reach out for things that we cannot see yet

This is the root of how we begin to believe

Let the fire within you burn brighter than the fire that surrounds you

Some people come into our lives

And make it hard to see the light

We must remember that its their lack of vision on their part

Not ours...

Do your best to measure yourself in happiness

All else gives you false weight

Enjoy the little things

And everything in between

For some day you may look back and realize

They were the big things missed..

Breath in the moments of life

And exhale all the rest

Falling down is part of life

Getting back up is living.

© 2020

"Real Time"

 

There is a point in the timeline of life...

Where you get to old to be governed by the fear of others...

Because our choices are just that...

So own them...

Making the hardest part about caring for anything in this world

Is that you do...

Be not the ideals and judgment that are preached

Instead, be the transformation and the example you wish others to follow

Be living proof that change is possible

Open your mind...

Challenge your expectations

And show others that it's never to late to learn

We are not the wrong assumptions made against us

Our imagination is just that

Ours...

To create with, work with, and control

Love with all your heart

Hold compassion for yourself as well as for others

Belief in ones self and others is the most important

Realize the weight in words spoken

And the embrace of faith and hope given in the offering of, “I understand”

These are all ties that bind...

Carrying endless meaning to those who receive it

Existing in the world

Is where I am found

Where are you?

© 2020

"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.

© 2020

"Zero Hour Past"

 

10...

Lost amongst the world...

A single soul wanders...

One along with the many unknown

Kept silent by fear

Tears are hidden within the lines, “I'm okay...”

The mind slips...

Forgetting to allow the sunlight in

Confusion should not be a life sentence

The senses fight

Until they numb...

9...

Cast out from that tender embrace

Hope falls like dew upon the grass

Barely clinging on

It's strange how quickly emotions turn

Where does the responsibility of understanding lie?

The torment of illusion

To be hurt and broken

Old scars bleed

Faith breaks...

8...

Band from the safety of home

The bright stars above seem to be the only thing to pierce through the pitch-black darkness

As words fail..

Abandonment calls

A false sense of being embraces

All those things best left untouched

But the soul cannot help itself

To reach out...

7...

Blame is a hazed recall

To that exact point and time

When yesterday was suppose to be the better day

And tomorrow was a promise made

Until these moments...

Tears glisten upon the moonlight

Shadows of the sleeping world bear silent witness

6...

Hands reach...

This conclusion almost complete

Breath runs cold

As consequences wonder...

The early hours of the morning stare down the countdown

Maybe one day an understanding could have been reached

5...

All that once was known

Has shattered the being to the core...

Reality is not this

Even though every moment is now...

The final fight was the greatest battle never won...

4...

Soundless fear passes

Whispered pieces of prayer

All now fleeting

Conviction is complete

3..

Tears pour out

Fingers hold

Eyes close

2...

This irrevocable task cannot be undone...

While growing pools of red life ink stain the ground...

1..

Zero hour has come to pass...

"Mirrored Fragments"

 

There are those times...

In moments...

We all fight that war

Our thoughts against everything else

The heart holds out

Each beat keeps the feet marching forward

But the mind secretly knows...

And the senses just don't seem to want to let go...

How do we weigh out what is right?

And what is easy?

For the actions taken against us have become too much

Numbers have stopped counting

And  the cup runs over the brim

The scars upon the broken never even have a chance to heal

A thousand mirrored fragments

Cast shadows offensive to the eye

A smiling face covers the deceitful mouth

Weak lies fail to lead us back to the sunlight...

Apologies for behavior that never changes

Becomes those days with the inability to remember

That forgiveness is being pushed aside by something more...

The lack of conviction found

In all that use-to-be...

Now leaving...

The heart that no longer cares...

© 2020

"Fight For Tomorrow"

 

We fight...

And fight...

Till our hearts are black and blue

We will reach out our hands into the dark

Not knowing...

Waiting for another to hold onto us

We try...

Our very best...

With the greatest effort...

Even when all is out of our control

We give faith

Desperately holding onto hope

That the light will shine through

That each and everyone of us is worth the effort

Be patient...

And brave...

Allow courage to take root

Hold out...

To be better than what you have been given

And more than what has been stolen

May tears wash clean the past

As your feet grow into tomorrow

A little more you...

And little less afraid...

Because there is never nothing left...

There is always belief

In life...

Love...

And through the grace of humanity.

"Survival Lived"

The loud cry of emotion...

As words pass through the ears...

Memories sort out the differences

From treasures...

And no longer use-to-be's...

Broken lines find feet moving

Colours are motion and still

The waking day we rise again

A little more changed

A little more us...

As we reach for the moments

Let it come to you...

As comfortably as breathing...

Reaction is the attraction

From rhythm and variations of sound

Interpretation is ours

We define the meaning

Sentences spoken in and under our breath

A dialogue of difficulty

Found here every day...

As we go through so many amazing changes...

Remember that hope is best held tightly against the palm

The will in effort is paramount

We are human...

Time is motion forward

Our wounds will hurt...

So let it...

Because it's growth and allowance

Learning and problem solving at the core

Let it take root...

Then, let it heal...

Be proud of every ounce of survival lived

Because there should be no shame found...

Within the beauty of scars gained within existence.

"Truth Given"

 

That time...

In those moments...

That one single being can break open those locked chambers of the heart

Offering a new view

A perspective not seen

Experiences offered will restore the numbed zones of the mind, body, and soul

Countless thoughts of inspiration lead

Brave to be open to the light

We begin...

Through realization

The good and the bad

And the right and the easy...

Friendship...

Or lover...

Reality is the truth given

There are some wounds that will never show upon the bodies skin

Some have cut deeper...

And are beyond the definition of hurt...

They remain with us...

For they are the ones that caused more damage

Than those from blood shed...

As we remember that it is not unconditional 

If its held onto by lists of limitations

As we learn the hardest lesson...

To not go back to that which was never waiting for our return...

Sadly, there are feelings and emotions that go beyond our realm of comprehension

We will only learn to name them... 

After the ones who gave them to us...

As we come to know ourselves and others

Through life and existence

That sometimes all you need

Is that one being who gets it a little more than the others

A little light shone into the darkness

Embraced with some empathy when the world is cold

An acknowledgment of an understanding

That we all have a little chaos inside of us all.

© 2020

"For You..."

People are not the subtotal of what we see...

Good intentions in thought...

May not translate well when put into action...

It's that dream we all have

Time to time...

Or every night...

When you try to run away

But your feet are frozen to the ground

Or when you part your lips to scream

But there is no sound...

You use to try...

To speak up...

Act out...

But there is nothing...

Silence embraces you

A moment paused reminds you

Maybe the future that you seek...

Is so unclear for the simple fact that it has not been written yet

Anything can happen...

Because nothing happens all the time

Stand firm to your convictions

Because if we weren't so afraid to let go

Then we wouldn't feel so free when we finally did.

© 2020

"Between Something and Nothing"

In those moments...

Between something and nothing...

As you hold out your hands...

You can feel the weight upon your fingertips

The world...

Push and surging...

Time doing what it does best

Always moving...

Changing...

As this day turns into the next

We are continued works in progress

Whether its the sweet smell of spring

Or the cold bite of winter

We are the architect of existence

Let the passing of darkness be the beginning of a new page written

Memories never leave us...

They just get further out of reach as years pass us by

Allow them to be the treasures

The stories that get told

A masterpiece to hold...

We are the artist drawing

Painting with the most vibrant colours and shades

Be not afraid to venture outside the box

Limitations are only the boundaries we place upon ourselves

We build up our courage from conviction

A designer by choice of living

And a survivor out of necessity

Because we are our own definition given

And are never too broken to be healed.

"Changing Moments"

In merely moments....

A warm and sunny disposition drastically changed...

From a bright beacon calling...

To a somber dreary gray

A smile fell dark

A sudden vision is realized...

Of just how little it takes to kick out the pillars that help support our beings

Exposing out tender human frailty

In the simplistic place of the unknown and the unforeseen

Judgment can be swiftly passed without acknowledgment

The bondage of betrayal can strike...

The illusion of a connection forms a separation that is all too real

But in the stillness of these experiences

The truth cannot be so easily cleansed or erased

Because inside the soul lies a vibrant consciousness

There is always belief...

And that never-ending hope

That the openness and convictions that we hold strong

Keeps us...

So that the infinite possibilities that are held within us...

Should and will always be out weighed by any assumption

Because in every moment...

We grow a little more

We live...

We learn through existence...

In streams of constant awareness

In this active motion called life.

"Wreck Of Hearts"

A sleepless night given...

By darkness eclipsing the sun...

Feelings over run the mind

Emotions fall short

Reflections of memories multiply

Even with this much hurt carried

Why do you defend the destruction?

You always walked the line

Arms wide open with understanding...

Giving...

Until now...

All has been taken

Stolen while the senses did not realize

The true meaning behind the actions and reasons

That you had become a ghost

Standing right in from of them...

All the while their heart was somewhere else...

Time led you astray

If you did not come back stronger together

Then you were meant to come back stronger by yourself...

Sometimes you don't owe a person more questions

But they do owe you a conversation

One without stories told

Of how the ending was at the beginning...

But they did not have care with the words to be told

That they were not the one to hold you

And keep you from harm

That all this was beyond their ability

And hope in a belief was not their conviction

That it would some how make something out of nothing

And so many wrongs, into a right...

The mind knows the hard truth

They were not sorry when you did not know...

So remember that...

You are not the mistake...

Sadly, just another step in their life of hopefully learning

As time reveals this broken...

Some goodbyes are not just endings...

But a release...

"We Will Be Always"

We are human...

A list of uncountable possibilities...

Of truth, lies, and stories...

History that weaves us together with years and moments

We know ourselves...

And try to know others

Hidden within the senses

There can be an abandonment left to the dark corners of the heart

We give so much of ourselves in the beginning before the end is even seen

Promises made are counted with mouthfuls of forever's

Our bodies become broken into a thousand questions...

We all know loss...

It's the sharp edge of a blade 

The deep feeling of realization that steals the breath...

For devastation only knows one thing...

To cut unmercifully deep...

But what does more damage?

The knife or the words fallen from the lips?

We all have those parts of us that are more scar tissue than skin

But what if this is how we heal?

The broken is letting light in...

Like the gentle rising moon at midnight

The allowance of self forgiveness settles in

Hands holding onto hope

Arms embraced with understanding

You will find you...

Rewrite the dictionary of all the words you use in the trying

Be not the collateral damage in someone else's war against themselves

This is not your debt you owe...

Payment in belief of yourself is an education well spent

Action above silence is the cure

The act of survival is motion forward

Existence is living...

Through the stillness...

 And the storms.

"Outgrown Moments"

Eyes bleed salty water...

Looking passed the walls...

The boundary lines that hold back human emotion...

Everything starts in the smallest of places

The points of expectation make their mark

A mind full of thoughts plan the escape

Step outside the box

The one you have outgrown

Dare yourself...

To reach out

Believe in what might be

Because with hope comes conviction

Breathe...

This is just a few bad lines within the chapter of you

Not the whole story...

Dare to feel beyond this moment

Time is counted in so many different ways

Reflections and memories

Chances and dreams...

Dare to understand

To not only be in the feet of another

But within the confines of their mind

Learn forgiveness for yourself

Acknowledge that words hold meaning

Destruction...

And love...

Blurred lines can be an angry beast to wrestle and sort out

Dare to realize...

Would we ever know how to truly feel happiness?

If we never knew sadness...

Sometimes its not all merely about the mistake

It's how you make amends and apologize for it...

Accept the recognition...

The acceptance when someone or something is no longer good for you

And dare yourself to be more...

Move passed the shadows blocking your path

Because if you cannot trust them in the dark...

Then why would you follow and hold onto them in the light.

"Louder Than Silence"

Darkness...

Silent moments fallen still...

Now past with the waking of another day

Motion forward life leads

Today...

An empty canvas given

A palette full of colours

Chosen and used

Moments with decisions made

It's the realization of happiness

The true value of emotion

Positive thought leads

To a mindset clear

We should only fight to be free

Not to enable a continued war

Peace needs to be remembered

That we are more than confined thoughts

As we speak louder than misunderstanding

Hope is found here...

Some are only ever unable to stay

And become to good at goodbye's...

But we are not their broken

For there is one heart inside of us all

With various different pieces that form it

Change is the light our feet leads us to

Because reflection works best when not using a broken mirror

We are each made with possibilities and purpose

It's the effort in the searching...

And embracing the find

To leave ourselves better now

Than the day before.

"To The Darkest Places"

There is darkness...

In the tiny corners of the heart

Where the soft parts of the soul cannot see

Hidden behind the best intentions

Pictures of memories hold

A visual journey in progress

Into the lives of others we lead

Daily being transformed

Time doing what it always does best

Moving forward...

With or without us...

Why is the picture of perfection the goal?

That we sacrifice make-believe for possibilities true

Hope is not something that should be cautiously kept

It should spread like wild fire

Coloured in the most magnificent brightness

Bundled with wishes of betterment

That we are learned

Always...

We are walking and living proof

Of adaptation and change

Of breaking down barriers of the past

And not reminding others why they were built so high to begin with

There is a yearning...

A continuation...

Beyond this single moment and thought

Because actions can lead...

But words can touch where hands cannot reach...

© 2020

"Listen To Reason"

Sometimes it's a combination...

Of faith and reason...

When weeks and days make up years

Lessons learned...

Become hard moments...

And forgotten pain...

Remembered single solitary times

Golden sparkles they shine

In the eyes of memories

We carry our history

The waking of each day

We search...

To the next...

Living and existing

Trying to understand what has been given

Holding onto that which has been taken

Because when the heart goes numb

It's the mind that goes astray

And the less the mind knows...

The more it has to fill in the blanks

Silence listens...

And speaks...

Or has much to teach...

Truth found is a cherished discovery

It's the true value of fact

That reason without faith...

Becomes conviction without belief.

© 2020

"Space Between"

There is more...

From the words that rushed from your mouth...

And the actions your body was trying to tell...

The spaces between the lines blurred cannot tell

Different meanings from each action

No security in words embraced

A story told...

Lies mixed with truth...

Emotion did not match meaning

Points in time are marked

Smiles turned dark...

A memory only lasts if we can bare to keep it

Lost to the realization...

That excuses do not lead you to redemption

Like all broken moments in life

We are here...

Ourselves left holding onto the pieces

The hole dug...

A ladder to climb free...

Your hands did not solely create this path

But, our feet are the ones that will lead us free

Throw away the idea that healing means forgetting...

Remembrance is the key to learning

Allow the intensity to fade

Remove the power over the mind

Diminishing the effects...

Because sometimes...

Heartbreak shakes you awake...

Helping you truly see the worth...

In more than what you maybe settling for

Because even though another being can love you desperately...

With their feelings and emotions...

They may still not know how to love you properly...

With their actions.

"Holding The Course"

Early moments...

Sunrise thoughts and reflections

The present...

A gift given

The mind weighs up

All that which has been lost

Wrong turns...

Best decisions...

A great investment

The precious rewards

Happiness given your definition

Times never forgotten

Colours moving and still

Hours given and taken...

Days counted...

The scent I know

And the hand I hold

A glimpse of the past

A foot aimed towards the future

Offers the finest of sight

And the darkness of night...

The flavour of life is renewed

Conviction in belief

Becomes the pulse of the soul

Front of the mind

Hope for what is yet to come

Gratitude for where we have been

Life is existence

A call to be answered

Favourite sounds remember

Wishes and reasons

Keeps forever in a day

Until the sunset leads us to dream.

"Power Of The Voice"

Take a deep breath...

For one simple moment...

Calm the senses...

Let it be quiet and still...

Be the answers to those question you seek

Pay attention to the direction of your being

Possibilities lay within your hands

Feel the push of change pulling

With the wind at your back

And the golden sun upon your face

Lead with your heart forward

Exist within this day

Navigate this constant winding road

Give way to the confines of negativity

Needle and thread in hand, the great tapestry of our being is sown...

There are two choices to be made

Let it cascade around you like the finest silk flowing

Or pull it close and attempt to keep the sunlight out of your eyes

Remind yourself...

That every trial and error...

Is a lesson learned...

All different sides of the circle of life

Realize the power of the voice within

Listen...

Everything can start from the smallest of places

Protect your inner peace

Golden memories are those treasures we keep

Bitterness only leads to the regret that knocks us to our feet

We can let go of those who have hurt us deeply...

And still care for them in our own special way

We can let our voice fall silent to them

And still wish them well...

If its for the betterment of your well being

Allow yourself to be greater than the upset and darkness

To be happy and at peace with, or without, them in your life

Because above all else...

We must not only love ourselves first...

But always.
