"Still Awake"

 

Standing still...

Eyes reaching for the sky...

Fingertips grasp...

At an embrace remembered

There exists a strange equation

That in this life we first must fail to succeed

Its from the fall you realize

The strength needed to rise

Puzzle pieces align

Each a second in time

Even when past memories haunt like demons

We are reminded that today is not yesterday...

When you choose the behavior...

You choose the consequences...

There is no leap of faith without taking the first step

From darkness there comes light bred

Change is a choice

Take the step...

Forward motion is survival chosen

History is written with existence

Let this moment begin...

Giving a voice to the whisper calling out

A chance to allow what truly matters...

 The possibility...

To take root within belief

That we are worth more than what use-to-be

A life given to experience, is the heart of learning

Beyond the reflection of others...

We find ourselves still awake in unwoken dreams

Carried within our heart

This is reality led

Because in a world where we can be anything...

Never forget to be kind

To others...

And to yourself, first.
