Stardust
I find you in my dreams
And when I awake
Your memory
Remains.
I hear your melody
In the dark.
In the beating
Of my heart.
I see your name in the stars
As I lie
Under the moon
And dream
In color.
And
There
You are.
As my soul bathes in
Starlight,
There you are.
As my tears,
They
Turn to
Stardust,
There you are.
At That Moment
If you were to tell me
That I may no longer write
I believe I would vanish.
I would cease to exist
At that very moment.
My Love
I look at you and a thousand worlds
Awaken in my heart.
A thousand suns burn in my soul.
As love grows
And
Walls crumble
Around me
My love,
I come to you.
Candle
Maybe I want too much.
They’ve Fallen
Take a look around and what do you see?
People running around like crazy
Too busy to see
Someone’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.
People self absorbed
Caught in their crazy lives.
Why can’t they open up
Their eyes
And see?
Someone’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.
People keeping their eyes
On the prize
Instead of what’s inside
Never taking the time
To see
Someone’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.
People gathering so much stuff
And there never seems to be enough.
Their hands too full
To reach out and help
Someone that’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.
People’s souls cold as ice
Always trying to grab a slice
Of what’s in other people’s possession
So they fail to
Understand
How someone could have fallen.
And they are falling,
They find themselves falling.
And then they look around and see
Nobody cares
That they, themselves, have fallen.
Voices
Bleeding dry.
Hanging
What does hanging on to
Hate and anger serve?
Only the darkness.
Only the destruction of self.
The weight of the darkness will only
Burden you
And keep you suspended
In continual unrest.
It will trap you.
Hate and anger only serve themselves
And will find extreme satisfaction
In your
Perpetual
Inner mayhem.
Walk in love, compassion and forgiveness.
It is the only way to move forward.
Learning
I am slowly
Learning to have compassion for the girl
That believed she had no voice.
The girl that was afraid to shine
Or make a sound.
Who had been beaten down.
Who had almost disappeared from
Existence.
She will always be a part of me.
She was not weak.
After all
She carried me on her own.
On every twist and turn.
Up
Mountains and through valleys
Alone,
She carried me.
She pulled me up off my knees.
She dug me out of the shadows
And pushed me
Into the light.
Lifted my gaze up to life.
Through sun and storms.
Through my entire life.
She carried me.
Now it’s my turn to
Carry her.
To love her and I realize what I thought
Were her weaknesses,
Led to my strengths.
Echoing
I don’t know if my heart can make anymore
Emotion.
I think the gears are permanently
Broken.
They are seized up
And frozen.
Searching for a current
To jolt them into
Rhythm.
When I call out in hope,
All I hear in response
Is
An echoing emptiness.
