"Journey Of Hope"



Reverse your point of view...
Change the prospective...
Re-frame the reality seen...
We claim to know best
Even though we are sometimes pretending
It is the decisions made
Right or wrong...
Or right and easy...
We can be better
Building great bridges between the distances
When we apply all of our ability to pull together our resources
To rise up and meet the challenge
Fighting a loosing battle does not mean that there is no point in trying
It's that we are human
The giver and carrier of hope
We stand constantly reminded
Yes, we all have our flaws
But we know that there is worth in effort
To fight for change
And to know what needs to be done
To exist passed the lies spread to convince us
That we are nothing more than where we need to be
When the truth is, our words and actions hold great meaning
And its okay to believe in something more than what you have been told
Time will always seem infinite, until its all gone
Our lives are proof of significance
Happiness is acceptance and allowance
Dreams die and barriers are broken
But we have the ability to create new ones
Remind yourself of your capabilities
As we carve out paths to follow
In those moments of need...
We lead ourselves...
To be that which we seek.

"Where Feet May Fall"




Moments reverberate through memories...
The heart beat of life...
Each footstep taken...
And the others awaiting the bravery to fall
There are days with a meaning
Where remembrance is bitter and true
It's a line in everyone's story
A page or two beyond description
What we receive and what we give is the difference we make
Do you regret all the chances not taken?
Do you live with the weight of it all?
Will you let that which holds you back propel you forward?
Or let it be the chain holding you to yesterday?
We choose to embrace...
To pass..
Or to behold all moments, no matter how fleeting
Our difference is the difference
Ignorance is not bliss
Knowledge keeps us wanting more
Perfection is perspective
The limit of potential is a decision made
Our hands will always hold the other one
It's the realization in existence
That regardless of all else
You are here...
Fear everything and run
Or face everything and rise
Take the road where your heart joins you
Meet the sunrise with gratitude
You are enough...
You are everything to someone
And have everything to give to life.

"Days Gone Quiet"




In these moments...
Where our world stands still...
We realize the true meaning of time...
Each breath bridges into the next
Eyes outline the structure around us
Steady and firm we exist...
With our feet out in front of us
Our mind takes photographs
Filing them deep within the resting place of our memories
Listening to sounds of the voices of the ones we love
The taste of life once accelerated...
Now seemingly paused...
When the days have gone quiet
Till we hear the true heartbeat of life
Breathe...
We are more than this
If you over analyze...
You become paralyzed...
So, we do it in spite of it all
Let the fragrant passion flow
From dreams to waking moments
Life will always roar
But truth lives...
Our ability to find beauty and peace in the midst of it all
To embrace care over deception
To not be a slave to fear
We will recognize this for what it truly is
And allow ourselves a reprieve
We will look to the dark places...
With our fiercest conviction
And say...
Not today
Because yesterday is already gone...
And tomorrow is yet to be.

"From This Day"






Early morning sunshine breaks in silence...
Embraced by the day anew
Reviving life that paused within the darkness
Steps forward on this path planted
From this day till tomorrow
Some falter...
Slipping into the deep end
Numbed by the cold and empty
Shadows of what should have been...
Could have been..
And what will never be...
Its okay to be a afraid
We have what it takes
Breath deep...
Let the wave of change wash over you
We are human
Learning...
We all run from the wind and thunder
Yet, dance in the rain
It's these patchwork moments
Making us who we are
We walk alongside one another on this journey
Vulnerable to weakness...
And even with the deepest of yearning
We cannot fix it all...
We are not our mistakes
Yesterday is gone
Today is to be existed
And tomorrow remains to be...
To keep the door open...
To leave the light on...
And to keep trying...
By loving ourselves and others...
The best way we can.

"Stand Up Again"





How flawed are we?
That some of us preach perfection...
By only repeating the definition...
Who is pulling your strings?
Making you dance to a tune you do not want to hear
Stepping to the left...
When you want to go to the right...
Standing in judgment
An invisible tightening to reality
Choking the air with pain
Allowing the voice inside you to silently cry...
All is okay to them...
As long as the puppet follows...
And does not lead...
The energy you keep
Is the energy you put out into this world
The heart does what the mind sometimes does not understand
But know this...
We are who we are
Make the best with peace
We are more than a list of contradictions
It's fact, not fiction
We are existence...
But why do we continue to fall?
To learn how to stand up again
Till we realize we are enough
We are our own person
Good...
With hope and intention
A being living...
Beyond all that has come before this moment
And that which has trespassed against us
To be the best of our ability, not others
The worth is in the trying
And maybe it's not happily-ever-after
But it's happy, after everything else.

"Burden Of Truth"




The softness of darkness...
Embraced smooth...
Allowing the knife to cut deep
Only because the fingers holding it...
Was that of a person loved...
Thoughts confined
Questions yearning for answers
Breaking all the rules of the heart
Eyes failed to see the true depths
Of something that was never there
Because actions could not convey the true burden
Of sharp and jagged words
Concealed behind false intentions
Of an image of the most beautiful thing never seen
Heart beats and footsteps
Fighting for a dream never coming true
Sounds in silence warned
True intentions not given
Caution lingered in the soul for good cause
Weighted by the burden of fear
Calloused are the weary palms for holding on to tightly
All for something never had...
To almost abandon one soul to find another
Is the cruelest of convictions
Putting a mind at war...
Leaving no room for humanity
It's history used to cause another to loose...
The entirety of their being
For another to love them.

"Fearless Motivation"




Life in moments...
Counted and gathered...
Darkness attempts to numb the soul
When all we wish is to stand within the light
Tangled thorns mix with words
Clarity is absolution
We change with the seasons
Heartbeats in seconds
Time is never wasted on self-improvement
To gain achievement from ordinary to extraordinary
Refuse to live behind the shadows of others
No regret is worse than, “What could have been...”
Yes, there is a great deal of consequences for certain actions taken
Realize this...
Apologize...
Forgive...
Move on...
Let go...
With all that you have left
Start anew...
Where you stand...
Dream into action...
Look forward...
Plant your feet to that destination
Defy definition...
Because to many people in this world will try to confine you
To make you feel less than the brilliance that you are
Don't be afraid to disappoint them
And exist beyond a label on a box in life
We are better than expectations
Numbers are just numbers
Letters are just letters
We are more than “just average”
And more than limitations.
