New starts each day build a better dream not confused by the heart strings that lie beyond my chest. I have been lost among the political waters that muddy our paths toward something great. Sunshine of a Star guided my way, from turbulent sky’s to the waves below, we are destined to see the light that pierces the core of the soul! My eyes are wide open as a book with fresh pages, ready to accept the ink scribbles of memories made from today and dreamed upon for tomorrow. My hands shake from not the fear but from the excitement of the unknown, positive are my thoughts driven down this road with no end in sight. Hear my voice as it echoes through the valley from deep within, I have come to know me and love unconditionally.
Life’s Tree ~
My bark is broken and dry, splitting across the meat on which it lies. Tall will it grow only as deep as the roots will go. Will the winds of trouble rock me at my core, will the rains of sorrow uproot me from the earths floor. I have seen the seasons come and go some so trying in which my rings will show. I am thirsty but where does my quench come from, the heavens above or the mortals below. My colors have no bounds, but my leaves are pulled by the ghost of gravity to the ground. Bare is my structure as the warm turns to cold, leaving me a sight so frail and old. Until the winds turn back the hands of time, I will stand here motionless as a mime.
One More ~
Give when you have nothing left to give, trust when all hope is lost, believe when the pain is worse than yesterday. The desires of what we want should never overcome the needs of what will make our tomorrow better than our today. The gloss that covers my eyes will soon rest easy as the sun dips over the horizon giving way to the moon so calm and clear. Will the pain of the unknown settle within my soul, will I learn to remember the happiness to allow my memories to grow? One last word is all I wanted, one more smile, one more laugh, one more hug, please just one more of everything, just give me your love. Why does time not care, why do we take it for granted, will it stop when we least expect it, will I get to see my hair turn gray, will I be able to look at my loved ones and have the last say? Know that today will always come before tomorrow and that pain will always follow sorrow, but don’t forget yesterday was the past where memories were made and happiness will outlast.
Broken Pieces ~
Divided and broken are the pieces of glass smashed from the reflection of your pain. Does the person on the other side reflect the person of who you are or who you want to become. Will time be lost in the shattered memories of your past, how do we protect what we don’t have, how do we keep together the fragile sheets of shiny perfection from our day to day tasks? Dreams confused with reality, a journey one will embark when the days turn cold, a stark reminder that tomorrow is not guaranteed but earned. Do we have a predestined spot on this twenty four hour clock we call time, will we stop the hands that move us along, will we make it, will I be liked, will I belong? North to south and east to west, the tangled directions that control what I do, I will make the most of all who surround me, smile and condemn their frown.
Tangled ~
These ivory keys brought light to my sight once darkened by the bullshit of yesterday’s struggles. The sound of each beat makes my body tremble within making brail across my skin. Sun kissed from the stars above, this gravity so strong it has me bound in place, a feeling one cannot describe through words alone. As a child we struggle with the tangled mess of shoe lace vines, yet as an adult we are burdened with the confusion of silent political crimes. This life we live is so cluttered with expectations and standards of what we should be not who we are, who we should become not what we are destined to be. When do we stand for our name, when do we allow our word to be the standard rather than the dangerous promise Game. Washed by the ocean of my sins from yesterday’s tomorrow, tears cascade down my face from tomorrow’s past leaving me sad in sorrow.
Sky High ~
The red fiery glow of the sun kissing the clouds on the horizon, the crisp cool morning air driven by the changing seasons from summer to fall. Sky high above the worries of the world below, passing time having a drink while my Journey seems to be just stress free and mellow. I’m ready to shake the feeling that holds me from today’s victories and tomorrow’s promises. I stare at the window dreaming of what will come, will it be what I need or what I want? Can we have a life full of both or will the seasons of change challenge me and my will to succeed? My life is a crossword, always drawn on and erased, but only one answer fits the spot in which it goes. I’m open to feeling complete with the dust of my past cleaned off for the next chapter of my life to grow.
Winds of Life
The soft feel of the breeze as you sit and stare at the stars above, consuming your thoughts your dreams and emotions of love. Red is your color given so beautifully and bright, I see you in the distance as the moon glows at night. Do you allow these winds to move you from left to right, are you destined to choose, will you hold your ground and stand for this fight? Can you see the air that makes the trees move, can you smell the rain as the dew settles at night, can you taste the sweet fruit as it touches your lips? A feeling so honest and free, it has a purpose not bound by the restrictions of life, these winds flowing so fast and gracefully have consumed my ever shaking soul I sometimes ask could this really be. Breathe in as the wind fills your lungs with life of endless possibilities, Dream of a tomorrow without fear of the past storms that kept you from where you could be.
Burden
To feel so empty inside, a feeling so strong it captures your breath from deep in your soul. A mind altering feeling that won’t let go. My legs begin to shake with every step I take, my knees start to burn, my feet begin to break. My shoulders can’t take much more, my back is about to blow out the door. This burden of worry is taking its toll, where have I been, where do I go. Do I believe my dreams, does it show. Do I settle for less or try for more. The future holds the answer, the truth lies within. Follow your heart, don’t carry the burden of worry, our days are numbered this life is too short.
Living
Live strong, live life long dreams to the tee. Leave the past in newspaper print and the future till the last coin spent. I’m just a messenger to every soul, a dreamer with a profound goal, letting everyone grow through courage and faith. Plant your feet in stone and know you can’t do this alone. Understand when the storms come your way you will bend and shake but the Lord will not let you break. Patience will build character from day to day, in time giving you wisdom on what to say when troubles roll your way. Be free at heart like a child from the start, trust in the one above and you will find that true love.
Life
Funny how the winds continue to change from North to South and East to West, always moving with no rest. The wind is like my life, never concentrating on itself but continually touching or shaking every soul in reach. My goal is to teach and show every life the right way to grow but how can I do that when myself is something I truly don’t know. To take a step into the unknown is faith, something you can’t do without Gods grace. Find yourself, believe who you are, know who you will become and at that point you will be free. Let he rain wash away all your sorrow and pain, don’t settle for less keep pressing on for the ultimate gain.
