Idling watching the lights on the tree
The colors now blur into this new memory Sipping my eggnog and warmth all around Hard to believe how quickly my future’s been found. I uncork the emotional bottle; reveal A stunning facet of me that can now fully heal I’ve rebuilt from the ashes; my peace from within I now see the door open; a new Life can begin A reflection of love and where peace gallops free Acceptance of all the quirks that define me The miracle shift that yields this beautiful view And I share now my world with you, the select few.

As above and so below
My heart wide open for love to grow Live it always and breathe it in Peace will be the win from within Deserving of this perfect trust So bide within the laws I must The pendulum swing of energy The state of grace that’s simply me The beauty that can now abound I see my worth; my glory crowned The illusions gone and in their stead The comfort of a now clear head I dream now of my legacy The end of life’s monotony If immaterial materializes Paired with constant compromises I’ll shrug it off with snickering pride For now I know what lies inside Unyielding fire starts to flame As I replace my guilt and blame A quantum leap to happiness Sarcastic fun; some classiness My shift in perspective seals my fate Desires soar; the dream innate I now see value; magnificence Imagination my consequence My damaged soul still worth the time Beautifully scarred and yet sublime The endless sacrifices gone Let go of past and damaging wrong This stunningly temporary truth Only given one chance so enjoy the youth Finding strength in me for every challenge Amidst the chaos, find my balance The time is now to celebrate For I’ve reached the place where I levitate. Tumbling emotions but living with zeal
I find I wear my heart on my sleeve Even now no regrets as I allow what I feel It’s not always what you say; it’s what you believe If ever the chance to have peace, it is now As I finally live my life and perfect Whatever the future, I can now solve the how By choosing the life that I want to reflect. Darkness settles
Shadows close And here I sit With frozen toes. Shudders forming Chattering teeth Muscles spasm No warmth beneath I close my eyes Internal flicker C'Mon now blood I can't get sicker The wheezing starts Inhaling cold The air so crisp Like breathing gold My phone now rings A much loved voice Extends an offer I make my choice We travel up A warm embrace Continue life Our steady pace With welcomed warmth A sweet reprieve For now we sit Tomorrow leave Here we gather Close for the night With hope that heat Returned by daylight. My heat/electricity had gone out and this was just a reflection of such... lol There's a magic that surrounds me,
That encompasses my being. I'm flirting here now with my destiny; The epitome of the Season. Dreams once flickering beyond my reach, Now thunder in my heart. Patience, hope are what the lessons teach. Anger, malice now depart. That brilliance that now blankets us; The warmth and peace so near. Decorations, faith encompasses. Hands of fate replace all fear. Gentle wishes and sincerity; Love's the gift that heals the wound. The time for miracles and meant-to-be; Forgotten friendships now can bloom. This is a place where I can meditate; Remember who I've been. Rebalance and re-educate. Achieve the highest Zen. But somehow as I'm next to this; The colors blur with tears. I'm reminded of the ones I miss. Those lost along the years. I know that they are proud of me - Can see who I've become. Those once hurdles now have set me free. The Earth and I are One. I can travel now with confidence. The road before me bright. Forgiving of the ignorance; As I live with all my might. So remember each new consequence. Maybe your purpose still unknown. Whether hatred, joy, ambivalence... You will reap what you have sown. |
