"Hope Found Here"

 

In a moment...

Our hour is found...

Amongst the things we have carried with us

Tears shed have rained...

A seed grows...

A stem from identity reaches out

Through realization

We uncover the shadows

Allowing light in

Embracing the existence contained

The heart beat of life blooms

This is our anchor...

A safe harbor after the calm of a storm

Survival is worn like a badge of honour

New beginnings often start before we even realize

Trust in the truth...

Hope is found here...

Lead with conviction...

The guidance is at the tip of your feet

Motion forward leads the path

We must open our eyes to watch the sunrise

Freedom is in the proof of tomorrow

With remembrance we give thanks

From where we have been

To where we are now

Possibilities endless...

We are this movement...

Our very own light shinning bright.

"Calling Your Name"

 

Breathe...

Move....

Look up...

All that has been lost...

Sometimes does not need to be found

Hold emotions proud

Feel the instinct

Allow the moments to fill up

Release the broken pieces...

Anger is too loud to always contain it

We are what we embrace

What is wrong...

Right...

Or easy...

It's a simple truth

We will never have this day again

From where you are...

To where you could be...

How much time will we let imprison us?

When darkness is only ever meant to shade the light

Our well being deserves the determination

Dare yourself to make the move

With peace of mind there is so much to gain

Because how much resistance can be denied?

These are the days we wish we could skip

But these are life lessons in learning...

Is there redemption in tomorrow?

Forgiveness is not unlimited...

Stop being a stranger to yourself

Here stands the choice...

Calling your name...

There is no need to hear excuses

When actions have already spoken the truth

Sometimes...

It takes letting go...

To realize...

We were hanging onto nothing.

"Every Day Realization"

 

Every day...

We are here...

A being one with the world

Some pretending...

Others making their path through

How quick do we seem to make choices

While others keep us chained

Bound to what was or what will never be...

The deepest hurt can come from those who lack the care

Or worry for our well being

A broken heart can change the best into something forbidden

The worst part of manipulation...

Is the blame received for your reaction after their disrespect

Words strike...

It's the taste of bitterness swallowed

The truth is never as painful as discovering a lie...

Making this a pivotal realization

Life is everything

All at once...

Built of so many moments

We are this existence

Every day...

There is no need for an apology given

Emotions are meant to be felt

It's another lesson learned

Its give and take, by holding on...

While letting some go...

Embrace those that matter

We are all strong enough to release this burden

Have the will...

And the growing conviction

There is strength to be found by being more than this

We deserve better than someone who gives up on us

It's with remembrance we live...

Healing happens when we allow ourselves to be human

Not perfect...

But real.

"This Is Now"

 

Today is a new day...

The past is in the previous pages...

It's where it belongs...

And has no part of the next chapter

Some days...

In some cases...

We must be selective with our time

Not everything that calls our name

Needs to be answered...

We are this motion forward

Knowledge gained by experiences existed

It's living proof...

Let it hurt until it hurts no more

While always remembering that it does take time to heal

By separating yourself from that which caused it...

Some of the strongest people are those who win battles...

That we know noting about

We carry ourselves through

With passion and grace

Anger and the bittersweet

Persistence brings conviction

From the lost we find someone new within

Like waking from a dream

This is reality...

It's your daily reminder

A horizon breaking with light

Pushing back the darkness

Breathe...

This is now...

The next moment awaits...

As you come to realize...

This long sought embrace

Is knowing that you will be alright.
