Doorway




~"Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself." -Kahlil Gibran~


Shine
your light
to illuminate
not blind


The green
Floats
Around you
In slow motion
Blue flower
smiles
Satin
In the lazy breeze


Don't save
the best
for later


nobody
knows
what
tomorrow holds

You ask
me for
Forgiveness
then you
make me crawl
Your eyes
Are more beautiful
Then an Irish countryside
After
A Spring rain


I had this
weird crystallizing
Moment
when everything
became clear

It just
comes
down to
what helps
you sleep at night

When you know
there is
an end
that it forces
you
to
live

Maybe
I'll be
back around


Can’t stand
Holding still
For too long


I can’t hold
This tangled
Illumination
colorful chaos

Oh I've traveled
many a rocky road
but this is by far
the most delicious
It's shade stretches
out for miles


and when it bloomed
smelled like brown sugar.
I still dream of it
your choice
reveals who
you are


You can
Only laugh
At change

Laughter
And tears
Are the same
Release

~Sanctuary~


You never know
how strong you are,
until being strong is only your choice.
-Bob Marley.

Sitting here
having coffee
Alone
with my thoughts
Is that a good
idea, it’s a lot
Space is just
A word for
Someone
who is afraid
of getting close
Another day
Just breathe

I have
been feeling
a little crazy
Locking
the door
Going around
in circles
Is that what
I’m in for

All Of
your old shoes
Are looking
Brand new
Even though
The shine
is gone

You think it’s easy
But it’s not
The minute
you struggle,
that's when
you fall
I’m gonna
Make you miss me
I’m not easy
To leave
Never
bend
your head
Always
hold it
up high
Look it straight
in the eye

I will shed
this weight
you carry,
Cover you
If you
Let me
let me be
your sanctuary
A safe place
To hide
And fall
Running
With the
Shadows
You can’t
Completely hide
Everything
Inside

It's time
to rest
You've done
your best
Now
There’s nothing
Left in
The air
Only flowers
And the secrets
Midnight angel
Hold my hand
It’ll be
Alright

Let the
storm come
It won’t
undo me
We have
Weathered
through the
storms
Taking comfort
in each
other's arms
When the
dark clouds
come again
I will lift you up
and take you in
We got
A little higher
Then we should
The world
Is on fire

Let me be
your safe place
to hide
From it all
The sanctuary
In the quiet
of it all

Round and
around
we go
now I’m sure
It’s how
you chose
to move
It’s not
just something
Taken
it’s given
Now we know
Owning your
burdens
is half
the battle
Expect
the unexpected,
and you’ll never
be surprised
were like peas
in a horrible pod
He's nicer
than flowers

dipped in honey
a thread
hanging
in the air

~Future~



Angels
And shoeboxes
Empty
And beckoning

Your heart
Is made up of
Sterner stuff
Then that

The minute
you struggle,
that's when
you fall

even
If you do the
Right thing
There’s no
guarantee
it will turn out
the right way

Nicer
than flowers
dipped in honey
Yellow roses
Have
honeyed tongues

Finding
the little things
that get you through
the day
I guess in the end
it’s about surviving
Any way
you can
just keep
those band aids ready​
Because I know
I’ll be falling
for you soon
Sit down,
sweet thing,
sit down

I need a sign
I need to know
Things are gonna
Lookup

I’m calling on angels
Living on a prayer
Looking
For reasons
In the air
Uninvited
But flattering

Life is
sweet
sourer
enjoyable
Stressful

Step through
the bitter
To get to the happy
It’s worth
A try
Shoot an apple
Off my head
Confusion
Never stops
Ticking clocks
Raindrops
Echo
Their footsteps

Nothing else
Compares
Am feeling sleepy
Take me home
I’d rather
Make my own
Figures
And dreams

Like a hug
with words
Sometimes
when you have
bold words
you just want
to say something new


Stars glow
Like dark glitter
In the in the somber calm
I’m afraid to change
But I know
I need to

I don’t want
to run away
But I don’t
understand

Your name
Resounds
The future
is unknown
But it calls
to me
Somewhere
Someone
came up
with the idea
of in permanence,
Beauty
inevitability
of change


Your passion
has to go
somewhere
that's the
only place left

You're suffering
has to be good
for something.

Were the words
Worth the price?
Your Favorite
Story,
Whatever
it might be,
what is written
for only one
