"Movements and Words"

The mind wonders...

Over the months counted...

For so many days now the same thing...

What image is exactly seen?

Too many times moments have caught the breath

Was it only yesterday?

Or was it many years before that?

When the trust embraced began to change...

Because without counting the numbers pegged against the heart

The suddenness began to whisper first...

But the ears of love were not ready to listen yet...

Memories recalled a different time and place

Compared to what is faced now

The change between care and compassion speaks for itself

Kindness within begged to bury the disguised cruelty hidden underneath

Even though it continued repeating the same pieces of broken

It began linking the excuses for causing the hurt inflicted...

Because the superiority within pride dictates one above the other

That the emotions of pain for one being are felt completely differently than another without any similarity or comparison...

Feeding this anger for a betrayal never given drives these blinding emotions

Demanding the light of another to pulled into the darkness being inflicted

There was once an attempt to try and correct the distorted thoughts imagined

When a hope of comprehension still existed

A chance to understand the misunderstanding...

But like so many other things, no effort came...

Which brings reality now to this crossroads of action...

Where the necessity of change has emerged from movements and words

Because the heart is failing to endure this infliction...

Unable to bear the heavy weight of such persistent grief caused...

That out of survival it releases that which pains it the most...

Surrendering to the peace found within the relief...

With the hope that this lesson learned, only ever has to be done once.

"Give the Reason"

 

Eyes up...

Looking straight forward...

Senses at attention...

Blink and you could miss it

Thankfully another moment comes again

Even though you can't see the path head...

Action forward is where you are going

Focus upon the support that has shown up

Not what has yet to be by your side

So much of what we learn about caring is taught to us

Or done through the act of doing...

Sadly, we seem to remember the harder lesson first from those who never cared for us...

Because words that do not match action is manipulation...

And refusing to be held accountable for any of it, is gaslighting...

The ability to apologize without blaming another...

Is growth within an experience understood

It's accountability with communication

There is worth in effort...

Respect is valued...

Peace is a priority...

Never give up upon yourself that still needs education

Give the reason to yourself

Healing comes in stages...

In forgetting...

Or forgiving...

And moving on...

Because some things have to end, allowing better things to begin

Stop counting yesterdays

Remind yourself today...

To breathe...

That this is you doing the best you can

And that is more than enough.

"Liberation"

Surrender to the moment...

Each step before this has led the body astray...

To a point where it has become bigger than what could be beard...

Pushing all limits beyond a reasonable understanding

Questions begin to call out...

Screaming for the attention that they deserve...

Where are the answers?

Change has revealed a new dawn

Another day within existence begins

So many words get caught upon the tongue

Thoughts wonder...

What point of emotion is this?

Is the only reason for this experience a lesson learned?

Because who needs this much confusion...

Passion to the point of blindness

Only causes neglect to the process of understanding

To be believed...

The source must be trustworthy

Release the shadows of the past

Tomorrow casts a light leading forward

Doubt has no place within hope

Underneath the vast space between what could have been and what should have been

The spark of creation resides...

Waiting for the senses to fan the flame

Because of yesterday...

A new purpose is found within

Break free from the care of being worthy enough

When another cannot even begin to see the value within

Change is the world in motion

Don't miss the things that are left behind you that haven't shown up

There are reasons for this...

Forgive or forget...

Either way, liberate the soul

Realize, remember and recover

Because you are needed here.

"We Need Us"

How much do we sacrifice?

Is it force?

Or by choice?

There is existence inside our blood

Each daily moment...

An experience gained within every footstep

Pushing our limits...

Pulling upon our heart filled with hopes and dreams

Reality reminds us that there is no promise

Except for motion and change

How do we choose to remember?

There is the lost and broken

The treasured and held close...

A combination of chaos and sunlight

Darkness seems to make its presence known on its own more times than enough

Release the thought that this to needs to be embraced

Confidence calls our name

Digging deep within...

Find the patience...

Motivation can spark from any point of revelation

The act is in the trying

And the decision to choose

Freedom is the peace found

By living with the grace of acceptance and allowance

The compass you seek beats within

Making these seconds in time our creation

Because tomorrow comes whether we like it or not

Yesterday is not a place best lived...

The past does not need us...

Especially when our future is calling out our name.
