dare to be different
changing our hold
bold in what we know
the older we grow
wisdom is ours
Ours to behold..
bend like a willow
strong like an oak
Life will be peaceful
as we lighten our yoke..
You leveled the play
in that way of yours
jumbled my heart
got me to stay..
Door is wide open
Hinges remain
Haunt me please
Leave your stain
Distinct and different
I’ll not be the same..
Untraceable are your ways
Unsearchable your love
Beyond knowing
my heart seeks you out
Unchanging is my beat for you
the human touch
embodying all we are
connecting us
directing us
all we become
into a beautiful one..
Living each moment like we are dying
I wrap my arms around you in this time..
Take my hand
One last stand
Drown in me
One last breath
as gasp together what is left..
the deepest wounds
are my dearest friends
they follow me through till the end..
Teaching me, showing me, guiding me on..
With each gash
I learn me strong
cherishing the wrongs, the hurts, the pain
All of life is mine to gain..
I may be wiser, maybe I’m not
but I’m open to live..
pliable, limber
wanting to give
twisting and turning with all there is..
I’ve soaked it all up
abundant and full..
Life slips in
carves us to win..
the scars are my beauty
time will tell
I wear them well..
walk with me
talk with me
hold my hand
the privilege is yours to
know where I stand..
You look
You wonder
you question
you guess
Judging until you’re completely undressed
heaped on
the floor in a shredded mess..
I’m her, I’m she, I’m them, I’m we
and the loss of me is the new conquest..
I am now two
split through and through
No longer true to me or you
I’m buried alive
nowhere to hide..
gotta dig deep to find my feet
rolling back the ignorance
walking in bliss
Looking for what I somehow missed
Drawing back my spirit
bringing back my mind
two souls rejoined
until we are one
No longer afraid of all that’s begun..
I found a smile within, sweet season
coming round again..
sometimes you win
sometimes you lose
sometimes the blues settle in..
make a choice
choose..
It’s all been said
it’s all been done
both feet forward until
I’ve won..
In my quiet unbound
I shall remain footloose
While I watch life go round and round
my smile has been found..
Hands down
Fists unwound
Heart open
to the sound
You will love what couldn’t be found..
No sense in fighting it –
instead, delight in it..
you’re richer because of it
Stronger in the midst of it..
Your senses thrive on it..
You’ll come to understand things not known
The unknown value unfolds
seeing the imperfect perfectly bold..
between the moments of living and dying
there are moments divine
We are many kinds of beautiful..
watching the sun set one last time
the beauty in the darkness
the hope in the empty
And the warmth in the coldness of goodbyes..
There is a morning after
We won’t have to search anymore..
fascinated how we can become undone
yet remain as one..
