Some of us
Get quite lost along the way.
We give our hearts away so quickly,
Never considering
The cost.
We give and love
Without hesitation
Then one day we awake in a mess of
Confusion
And realize we do not
Recognize our
Destination.

And realize we do not

Destination.
Oh what adventures we have shared.
Together.
We have climbed mountains
And sang in sweet unison cheers of victory
As we arrived at the summit.
Together.
We have crawled through muddy,
Murky valleys
And rejoiced at the sight
Of the rising sun
As the morning air filled our lungs with hope.
Together.
We have laughed until we cried
And our bodies and bones have trembled
As sorrow has wracked us to the core.
Together.
We have stood in silence,
Watching the sun kiss the horizon
Goodnight,
All the while
Quietly anticipating the realization of sweet dreams coming alive
In the wake of tomorrow.
Together.
And on each adventure,
Each detour,
Each long dry straightaway,
Every joyous celebration,
Every tiny step forward,
Each slip backwards,
Whether you have been through a portion
Or this whole amazing
Journey
With
Me
Thus far,
I thank you.
Reawakening
From a long,
Lightless slumber.
The Universe
Is
Kindling your soul.
Let your spirit rise
Again.
You were awake once.
The memory playing at the edge of your brain.
Once,
When you were a child.
The air of joy filling your lungs.
But,
Somewhere
You started living in the world of dreams
To escape
This reality.
Being tread upon,
You dreamt of flying.
Being bound by invisible chains,
You dreamt of freedom.
Being silenced by manipulative words,
You dreamt of singing.
Now realize you are
The
Dream
And
Reawaken.
My breathe catches.
My laughter falters as you glide into the room.
Didn’t I know you
Once
When we slept under a blood red moon?
Didn’t we dance on the sands
Of a distant shore?
Wasn’t it our two hearts that were
Once
Interlaced?
Wasn’t it your tender lips that
Brushed upon my face?
Once.
You keep your little secrets
Locked up tight.
Neat and tidy
In
A
Crevasse deep inside.
Oh
But darling,
I’m afraid they have
Started
To leak from your
Heart.
She knows he is out there
Somewhere,
So
She keeps breathing.
Sitting on a park bench,
Umbrella in her lap.
Rain pouring down,
But she doesn’t care.
Hair soaking wet.
Raindrops on her lips.
Still she doesn’t care.
She keeps breathing.
The rain is falling down
And none of it matters.
She knows
He is out there somewhere.
She is not drowning yet.
She’s still breathing.
The
Comings and goings
Of
Life and death.
The joy and sorrow.
One little baby boy
Takes his first breath
As
Another mother’s son
Is
Laid
To
Rest.
Night shade
Lingers on my skin
As another day begins.
Unfinished dreams
Now
Sleep.
But
The little girl
Badly beaten and bruised,
Frightened and confused,
Hides in the closet
Amongst
The boxes and shoes
And
Holds her breath,
Holds herself as still as a mouse,
Because if she does not breathe
She does not
Exist.
You will come in one day
And find me gone.
Only remnants of
Shooting stars
Will remain
In the space I used to be.
You will call my name
And search for me in
Distant places
But I will be nowhere to be found.
You really never knew where to find me
Anyway.
