Retrace

Standard

When I was ready; when I had had enough,

I began to dig deep and face some memories I had tried not to keep. Some parts of me had been in hiding or dressed in disguise;

Pretending to be invisible.

It took longer than I thought it might.

I had to hold myself accountable for my own part and went back to the start.

I did not realize how far away from myself I was

Until I started retracing the steps back to myself.

Healing.

Serenity

Standard

And this unwavering yearning for you

Resonates in my blood and my bones

As i wander;

You are here

In the air

And i breathe.

We lie

Entangled

Still as trees

Warmth between us tended and

Flowing

Naturally,

Soothing these aches and the pains of the heart and mind in this dimension.

Scars forgotten as hope permeates within and

Without.

A surge of all that was purged as a new dawn begins.

Serenity.

Invigorate

Standard

Hot coffee in my hand.

Through fog

Christmas lights glow

As the snow begins

A gentle decent,

Dancing with the breeze

In the air.

A farewell to the sky

As the snowflake kisses

My skin, dissolving.

On to my morning destination

Loving the frigid sensation.

My senses now fully

Invigorated.

Blank

Standard

And her mind,

It goes blank

Before you can blink.

She is smiling

All the while hating herself.

And they keep talking

And talking

And she keeps laughing.

And she excuses herself to the bathroom

Where

She stares in the mirror

Wondering if she is really here.

Why all this noise?

Just noise

Coming from mouths who don’t care

What a heart beat is.

This air;

The air that leaves her lungs

As she whispers your name,

As you press against her

And hold her steady.

As you take her where she needs to go

Without hesitation.

We sit in the quiet and

Hear the stars resonate

In our very bones.

It’s all ok.

Breathe in unison.

You don’t even need to say

It is all okay.

Unseen

Standard

We will keep going round

And round like this

Until

Each of us accept in our hearts and minds

Completely

That everyone carries

Burdens of the heart unseen which

Our minds cannot comprehend.

Hear the message in the silence between

What you believe you hear in words;

See the stillness between movements.

Therein lies communication of the soul.

Love.

Best

Standard

Up on tippy toes I try to peek

Over hills and mountains high.

Try as I might I cannot see the other side.

I have to climb myself

One step at a time

And understand

This journey is mine;

Created with all of us in mind

To intertwine with those chosen

In this

Grand design.

To uplift and add endless love

As best We can.

I climb and rest,

Climb and rest knowing I am doing my best

With every breath.
