"Hands Of Tomorrow"

 

These hands of ours...

Have counted the dreams...

The heart wishes were true

Fingers have desired that long embrace held

Reality sets the truth

A mind rushed with memories

The hope and conviction

Till they are clasped together in prayer

They have given hope

Reached out to those who have been reaching

Wiped the tears...

Softened fears...

The hands that have taken

Like a thief in the night

Causing action for reaction

Hate before love...

Cruelty before compassion...

These hands have felt the heavy cost

And these hands have lost...

The will and strength

And effort in persistence

Seeds have been planted to grow with care

Cherished moments bloom

Its the familiar...

And the calming of that which you do not understand

Possibilities are set into motion

We carry the balance

Light with the dark

Choices and decisions

Yesterday is a closing door

And we don't live there anymore

Time is this and we are here

Make hands at the ready

A world of action

Creation is ours

Begin with existence.

"Defend The Difference"

 

As the light comes to pass...

Over our shoulders...

Another day done...

So many unsteady moments can hold us still

The wind of change comes

Through realizations made

Its the silent aching...

Now breaking the heart

Deep emotions flow

And creep through the senses

As the bittersweet leaks out from the corners of the eyes

How have we come to this place?

Its never truly known...

Words spoken

Actions hidden

A balance over thrown

With nothing corrected...

Some explanations are beyond reason

Convictions blind the eye

To wrong faults given

When the will and strength of one

Reminds another of their weakness

Who is left to defend the difference?

If hurting another

Doesn't hurt you...

Then where has the compassion gone?

Its not that we do not care

But perhaps, we have lost the hope

The past has no return...

Decisions are strengths in forward motion

And when peace comes after those things lost...

Then the true reality comes to this...

Do you adjust your life to mourn the absence?

Or do you sacrifice yourself continually to always be less...

To accommodate the disrespect...

"Keeps You Light"

How much of life is lived too late?

Waiting on a moment...

And then its gone...

Live your peace now

Allow it...

Remember the importance

Your health of mind is worth more

Your smile matters

Hold on to that deep embrace

Self care is not selfishness

Pause...

Take this step...

And then the next...

Function at a pace

Honour the good

Give less conviction to the bad

Time is this gift given to yourself

Most people carry to much weight

By holding onto the thought of perfection

Like the seasons

There is change

The beauty of summer...

The doubts of fall...

And the death of winter...

Without all this

There would be no growth within the coming of spring

We are perfectly imperfect

Life is this and we are these moments

Colours moving and still

All within existence

Release this burden

The heaviness of darkness

Allowance within growth keeps you light

Forward motion finds you anew...

You are deserving of this

Rather than being a prisoner to your past

Become a pioneer of your future.

"Peace With The Pieces"

The eyes see...

Perception and view...

Fully and complete...

Or obscured to the point of blindness...

The definition is in the details

Glances given to the minor things better off forgotten

Turn the focus on the important

Unfortunately...

Some people hate...

As much as they love...

So our being shinning bright

Will stir the demons hiding in the darkness within them

The lack of communication will leave too much room for imagination

And will cause the mind to replay the things the heart cannot delete

We cannot control the truth

It's absolute...

There is no versions or story telling

Its honesty...

And it will wait...

Patiently bidding its time...

Always there...

Acknowledged or not...

We are the keeper of this

Respect the power...

And the rest is up to the other person

Strength is found in the knowing

And learning the lesson that is hard to swallow

It's getting over something you never had

Because they have used up every ounce of your grace given

Allow yourself the release...

Be at peace with the pieces you have

Because at the end of it all...

You still have you...

And if their absence now brings you calm...

Instead of chaos...

Sadly...

You did not lose them...
