"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...

"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.

"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.
