Winters Night ~

Subtle swipes of a brush paints the sky, dripping down the horizon are blues and purples so appealing to the eye. The moon shadowed by the earths spin, casting light across the mountain top releasing serotonin through my skin. Warmth of heat from my car as I drive with no destination in sight, the beauty I see on a winters night. Dreaming of what tomorrow will bring, do we have the will to shake the dust that burdens our vocals from life’s harsh sting. Trust what lies beyond your chest, cracked back your ribs and expose your pain, leave it all out for the world to see. You have the passion and determination to be what pulls your soul, reach out and take control.

Rain ~

Eyes so heavy like the clouds that sit just above, do the emotions that flood my body consume yours through smile or just because? The drops that drip across my head out of surprise make me realize the heavens above open and close just as does my eyes. The smell before the rain hits the earth is a memory of my childhood, pain washed away a drop at a time, these moments have no rhythm or rhyme. As a teen we dream of growing up, a life better than the one we live, but as we are grown we crave to understand where time could have gone. Random you say, my process in which I do my tasks printed on processed paper, my mind drifts through thought as does the rain on a windy day. The smiles that distract me from what I need to where I need to be, a feeling that has no boundaries at least to me. Dark days, teary clouds, release what you have, give me what you’ve got, I’m ready to wash my past away and allow the flowers of today to spring free.

Life Divided ~

Systematically divided are my emotions in time, broken by the addition of addiction through your life into mine. Every line I see speaks the truth where it lies, never hiding behind the false walls created through yesterdays tries. Stories stacked on end like a book on a shelf, have we the peace at nights begin or will we struggle with our anxiety at days break within? Where we cry let the truth be told, we will leave this body and one day grow old. Walk down this muddy path to a field so vast, lay down your brick or stone, build the life you’ve dreamed, a life once in memories of your youth, now becoming a reality and an everlasting truth.

You Defined ~

Hammer the head the nail that splits the bed of the wood that lies so flat, loud is the noise of the beat of the drum inside my ear. The echo of actions travel near and far, the remodel of life and house consume my wants and needs maybe even a brand new car. Completion is within reach, a touch I long to feel, a price Drawn on paper, squares so small, a Journey in which when finished will have a reflection of sheen from tile to wall. Exhaustion consumes my mind and body, I long for a day where coffee in hand and noise at an all time low, the only sound is that of children playing and my favorite band on the radio. Sun comes and goes, rises over my favorite mountain top and sets across the waters that never stop. My mind the alarm within is set for a day when all is right, the past is painted a bright future and I say goodnight.

Working Nights ~

The smell of wood burning as you break the plane of your door, ready to rest your feet from your long night, all you want to do is let your Head hit the floor. Your eyes exhausted from the focus behind the safety glass, will the dryness fade as I close my eyes at last. My dreams scare me awake, thoughts of what I need to do and what I might have forgot, I just need more time in my day, sadly I always burn the midnight oil more than not. My bodies ability to recover like days past are forgotten and consumed in tomorrow’s duties pre draining me mentally. As the sun burns through my blinds, crawling slowly across my face, I know my alarm will trigger a sound that will stress my emotions all over the place. My day begins just like a Groundhog dream, will it end just like it began or will it prove me wrong once again?

Shadows of Time ~

Time is a shadow of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, the voice of the wind and the eyesight of the stars which shine bright. Mountains to conquer within my heart from the valley of the soul where the meaning will start. Summer nights, a journey along the hillside where flowers know no boundaries of height or color. Emotions splash along the shore, calm and rough with a sound only to be described as a roar. Fear drops turn into tear drops skipping down my cheek discoloring the rocks on which I stand. Letting go of what was is a story to be told, breathing deep and staying rooted in my faith is nothing shy of being bold. Red and Pink paint the sky through the seas reflection and through my eyes, tomorrow will come weather we are ready or not, climb high and fight with all you got.

Guide Me ~

The still of the night, not a sound in sight, did time stop, did the moon drop. I’m stiff as I lay calm with my eyes to the sky, the sparkle of the stars flicker across my eyes. Tears begin to flow like a river as I crave to be whole again. Push and pull, my emotions are on a roller coaster high, breaks begin to smoke as I depress my fear deep within my soul, will this stop, is it out of control? My heart pumps with love so strong, no where to go, my veins are maxed with pressure, my thoughts so scattered, frozen solid as I sweep up the shattered pieces that lie below. Endless possibilities just a dream away, will I live to my fullest potential, teach me, guide me, like a light house to a boat, I want to be that man I am predestined to be.

Snowy Day ~

Drop the degrees, release the breeze, allow my vision to be blurred by the flakes of perfection so tiny and free. Chill my skin from the outside in, make my chest hurt as I gasp the frozen ghost that drift across my face. Watch as the steam dances above my head when I lift my hat to wipe my brow, pinch me, make me wake from this dream right this minute, now. The distance that I see as I stand on top of the world, I must have made it, can this be real? Plant my flag, I won’t stop till I succeed, God use me today and tomorrow, take my pain and free me from my sorrow. Once I set my hopes and dreams on something so honest and pure, I will not stop, I will never give up or give in, your match as been met, believe in what yesterday was and allow the future to grow as the trees on that mountain top.

Elevation ~

Snow capped mountains surround me as the crisp air moves across my lips, torn by the beauty that consumes my eyes. As the sun slides behind the clouds above the snow starts to fall to the ground below, my hands aching to touch the flakes so pure and new!

Take me to a place far away, somewhere new where I can breathe the air untainted by the commercialization of this modern day. Stamp my Passport along this journey, from one memory to the next, living life like it’s your last, don’t stop believing that you are better than yesterday, that your soul is brighter than the stars at night! Push through, breathe deep, laugh hard, smile long and LIVE!

Be You ~

You are such an amazing soul, your beauty lies within your eyes a moment so pure, just remember who is in control. The question comes from deep within during these moments torn by the pain that is drawn to the surface with nowhere to go. Just from pictures and conversation, you are fighting what no one your age should have to endure, a race which should be a sprint but each day is slow and the future unsure. Breathe deep and feel your lungs with the cold mountain air, watch your breath as it exits into the night illuminated by the moon so bright on this starry night! I have faith you will become everything you have dreamed of, remember yesterday was a story so honest and pure but tomorrow is encapsulated with days without fear. Rest easy when night draws near, allow your future to become a story drawn on the pages continued from the days of old.
