The dreams of your youth are the captured moments, the ones left incorruptible by the struggles of the future. Let the joys of your past out weigh the worries of today, let tomorrow be the result of faith from yesterday.
Time Divided ~
How to split time on grounds freshly sowed, do I allow my emotions to break and be controlled. My heart is filling my veins with endless hopes of a road with no beginning nor an end. I crave to have a life as pure as the sun just as it pulls across the horizon. I pray to my God above to show me a guiding light because the darkness of knowledge is deep in this life we are in. Growth of two hearts challenges my understanding, am I enough within, will I become what they are looking for, will I not give them enough, will it push them out the door. Anxiety is the rope of worries after they are tied together, but you are my stability I want to experience forever. I’m new at this when more than one heart is on the line, be patient with me as I build my strength and show you everything will be fine.
Colors~
Pastels and Black are the colors on the palette that fill my mind. I see in colors, where opportunities are vast and sometimes undefined. Black is the color that leaves me wondering what the future will hold, intriguing me to shine some light but to be honest I’m not that bold. To teach a young soul that the color of night is just the day without the light, is an accomplishment I wish someone would have passed down to me.
Where do we go when we have nothing but time to burn, do we just check the boxes on the calendar or do we say I’m ready to live and it’s my turn! I want to throw a dart at a map without fear of where it will land, I want to bask in the sun with my toes in the sand. Push me to be the man this Earth was meant to see, help me to live and love, set my soul free!
Coffee ~
The shake that runs through my veins, from morning to night it gives me life and the strength to gain. From green to roast, from roast to ground, to consumption undefined to something so pure and unrefined. We take for granted the moments met over coffee or joe, we forget yesterday and push our minds to go, go, go. Our time does not stop for a moment whether for you or me, it relies on us to capture happiness and joy in real time not past and that is hard as can be. Will you allow your life’s coffee moments to flourish and breathe or will they cool and Caramelize into a memory left in the past.
Intuition~
Grasping onto the unknown, unwilling to alter for fear of being wrong. We push and pull at the emotions that drive our tomorrow fed by the failures of those around us today. Dropped into a moment where we know from the gut feelings that shape our today, what we feel does not need any conscious reasoning. A flower does not bloom just by sheer luck, it’s nurtured by those who care and fertilized by love and unconditional at that. Sun is the flower that I would describe as you, so elegant and beautiful with strong roots and always stretching for the warmth of the stars above. Your spirit you say is so free,not bound by the burdens that weigh some down, I long to have that one day if only it could be.
The Mask of Today
The moment a tear crosses our mind the emotion of happiness, sadness or pain have begun their journey undefined. We know that compassion is expressed in gratitude, but will it mask the breath of anger in a moment of weakness lost in time? The bandaid that covers my hurt is peeling away, touched by the uncertainty of those around leaving me with no words to say. Who matters yesterday, will they be the one today or will they be the person tomorrow? Will they be a memory of yesterday’s past or of tomorrow’s today? Take what the past has taught you and believe what today wasn’t, tomorrow will be.
Silence
Euphoric bliss found in the moment when chaos’s flame is put out by silence and it’s darkness within. Do we trust when the noise is no more, or do we worry that the sound will be lost behind the pain of yesterday roar. Focus on the today for the silence it brings is the calm after the storm and the happiness after the worries washed upon the shore. My mind wonders from day to day and has no concept of time, the tick of the clock and the little snore of my daughter at night reminds me that silence to each has a meaning so tranquil and pure.
All we Have ~
Lush is the grass that covers the mountain side, visions of endless hills consume my sight, the fog that settles from day to night. Is your house built of brick to withstand the winds of time, will your smile become a glorious sight or a crime. Stealing the emotions of a person within from the negative that surrounds us from day to day, what will tomorrow bring do we wish to know, what would you say? Escape from the stress that rains down on us each day, a walk down the street, a day at the oceans shore or a moment within the trees will calm your nerves to the core. I’m built to stand when I fall, as a child I craved to do so after I learned to crawl. My heart rushes within, a river with many twists and turns and natural ups and downs, don’t allow the smiles to be overturned by the frowns. Building a legacy that can be left behind, did the ones before ever have these thoughts that consume my mind, where would we be if the past was more cruel and a harder daily grind. Make my heart explode like a bullet out of a guns barrel, let the smoke clear before you put your sights on mine the opportunity is narrow. Don’t let this feeing pass when it has the feels to last, one chance to be the best, to live and love no matter the pain behind the chest.
The Torture ~
The pain the rushes within can’t be subdued by the scream of all your sin. The fear backed by endless endorphins that swim my veins trying to make my heart pump at a sprinters pace, why do I continue to sit here as my skin goes white in my face. This life we live is never fair or nice, we will continue to grow and change and sometimes we will have to pay the price. Torture my body, mind and soul, we humans have a fine line of when we ultimately loose control! The addiction this pain gives is teaching me a lesson that no matter my place in time I will take what I have learned and make it all mine. Nothing is too much, it’s in our thoughts that drive our fear and pain, it’s in our heartache we live, it’s what hurts us that drives us all insane!
Imagine ~
Take me far away to a place where dreams always come true, where magic is the norm and the oceans are crystal green instead of blue. Take me to where the earth pulls the rain from the sky when a tress roots are thirsty and dry, take me to where the sands below my feet radiate a shadow at every step, leaving permanent imprints of my heart beat behind. Teach me how to live and survive in this life that lies ahead, teach me how to forgive and forget, to grow skin that is thick and to shed the thin. Teach me how to be independent in my thoughts and in my movements through time, teach me to walk across pain and over fear and how to not love at the drop of a dime. Take me to a place where my reflection isn’t broken by the views of others walking by, take me to a place that is judgment free, where we are happy to just feel alive and believe. This land lies beyond the walls that keep our imagination at bay, in a place where lightning bugs sing with their glow a symphony your eyes cannot let go.
