The moon told me....

I spoke with the moon last night and he told me you were ok. This morning I had a chat with a tree and she said things all come together in its own time. Furthering my knowledge, I had a talk with the sun. She let me know that each day is new and with hope, all things will be bright. Traveling to sing with the sea, I wept with anticipation. She asked me to harmonized with her as she sang about the beating tide and sandy shores. I continued to weep as I headed back to life for now I have the task of contemplation ahead of me. Putting it all together, I have the answers..... Even though the tides wash away the sand, it cleanses also---out with the old, in with the new. Be thankful for each and every day that we are alive---embrace it with warmth and pride. Don't rush anything. You might wait a lifetime to accomplish what you desire, but no matter how long it takes, it will happen if it its meant to happen----don't give up and keep faith close at heart. We are always together under the same wide sky, being chaperoned by the moon.

My Wings

I was a free spirit until you clipped my wings,

Nothing I loved more than the sun on my face and hovering over the sweet flowers of the Spring...

Now I just sit here wondering how am I to fly,

Not being able to glide along with the breeze makes me want to die.

I can't quite hold you accountable for your actions though,

You were never taught any better than to hurt and lie.

Good thing I figured you out before something more dire occurred,

I should have just been smart enough than to believe your meaningless words.

I am still a big enough creature to forgive your careless ways,

Maybe you will find redemption before the ending of your days.

We have been done for awhile yet you are still here,

I have nothing to say, 

I will turn my back and tell you one last time you are forgiven,

Now please go away. 

.......What is this.....

A miracle? 

A reward for my selflessness....

I do not wait for you to go,

I stand, spread my wings, and flitter towards the sun.

 

I have been lost not knowing where I am,

Longing for direction

Not reaching for help.

I have been sad without showing emotion,

No tears shed,

No explanation given.

Standing at a crossroads afraid to move forward,

Fearful of going deeper into the void should I choose the wrong path,

Terrified like hell of staying put in the place I am already at.

A decision has to be made by me...

Only me.

Be brave, dig with-in and find the strength I know I have,

Just close my eyes and follow my heart,

Trust my instincts.

There will be redemption where there was pain,

A smile to which tears should have been,

Decision when there was uncertainty.

Beginning anew is frightful, 

I will drive to make it memorable.

Walking tall,

Following the path into the sunrise,

Into the light and the warmth of a new day.

My heart filled with promise and love,

My mind filled full of life,

I know that the path I walk is the right one...

How can my lone heart be wrong?

Subtle Tick Tock

The subtle tick tock of life is rarely conceded to most as a blessing,

Rushing around, fighting to get ahead of the person in front of them, 

Not realizing that all of the hustle just speeds up their clock.

Breath in the crisp air, buy yourself some time,

Take a walk in some enchanted wood,

Sit quietly with your hand in mine.

Time will not be noticed, even as minutes pass,

While others scurry round us,

Together, forever our time will last.

Do not get caught up with the statistics,

Enjoy life while its yours,

We should indulge ourselves with the magic with in our hearts....

 Keep our clocks to a subtle 'tick-tock'.

HHHMMMMM

Yes I am crying...its what happens when you are sad.

WATCHFUL FROM ABOVE...FOR JEAN

When you lose a friend the end seems to be all there is left of them.

There is a sickness in the pit of your gut,

A sadness behind your eyes,

Splinters of your heart spread out in front of you.

Wandering around in a haze of amazement,

This should not have happened,

Not to one of the nicest people you know,

But it has...

There is no taking it back.

Memories are what is left.

On this dark and rain felt day,

The memories I have bring the sun into my world,

A special warmth,

A smile.

So many questions without answers though...

Starting with the most imortant,

Why?

I will miss you,

No one can replace the joy you have brought into the lives of others...

The hard work that you have proudly and relentlessly done,

No one can replace you.

You are no longer in pain,

Joined with your God up high,

Looking down...

Please stay with me,

Watch me,

Keep me with you.

Through My Eyes

I see your past,

I feel the pain,

Take it all as lessons taught,

It's the only way to keep sane.

Touched by your hope,

I long to remove your fear,

Seeing you express and cope,

Not reluctant to shed a tear.

True feelings are powerful,

Most afraid to share,

I see you boldly verbalizing,

To the ignorant and confined,

They had better beware.

With lack of release there is no hope,

Only spaces filled with the weak.

I see you strong,

Unafraid to speak.
