We are the far before and the yet to come.
Once we say “here and now” the now is gone.
When is the now?
For it was
And now is this moment that passed.
Just be.
We are the far before and the yet to come.
Once we say “here and now” the now is gone.
When is the now?
For it was
And now is this moment that passed.
Just be.
Shadows on the walls
Sun up high,
But I cannot move.
God,
I know you have to go but I don’t want you too.
I feel I should have done more,
Said more.
There is never enough time when the end is coming.
Feeling selfish cause it is not all about me,
But
Yes it is because i love you so.
And you say the light is blinding
And you will always be here
But
I don’t care,
I just don’t care.
I want you here where I can see you.
I want you here where I can hold you.
I just want you here.
I know you are in pain
And i know you are strong.
As soon as we are born
We know we are going to move on
Doesn’t make it any easier.
There is this burning in my belly,
This aching in my breast.
I struggle to keep my heart contained
Within my chest.
It is just the thought of you,
For you are not even near.
It’s just my atoms
And cells
Retain
The body of you.
Come home.
My heart will not stay still much longer
For
It is not where it belongs.
It’s just
What I must endure
While I am
Imagining
You here.
I am
Aching and breathing.
I am
Aching and dreaming.

Caught between gazing at
Campfire
And stars.
Mesmerized.
Coyotes out in the beyond,
Their chorus echoing
In this
Clear night air.
The moon is hiding her glow behind
The mountain.
Neither here nor there;
I am most certainly under a spell.
And here it is
Right before you,
Beside you,
Inside you.
This greatness everyone speaks of
And searches for.
This joy and fulfillment.
Search no more.
Here it is.
It is you. All that you are.
All that you see and feel.
Every movement, thought and breath.
Illustriousness;
You are.
Here,
Now,
Before and Always.
Melancholy
Delight
Melancholy
Delight
Up
Down
Up down
Round and round
Spinning, spinning.
Trying to grasp anything
As it passes by.
And the tea kettle whistles
Bringing me back
Here.
And I put my feet upon the floor
Once again
Ready to live more.
More than ever.
I feel it in my gut,
The very marrow of my bones.
This pull.
This unseen force
Crying out loud.
This magnetism over time
In molecules and dreamtime.
Walking.
Waking.
A higher knowing within
You to me,
Me to you.
Here and now.
Then and hereafter.
In perpetuum.
she has always had such vivid dreams
you were always there
oceans away
but you were there in her dreams
different streets
different skylines
but the same place
in dreams
how does she tell you?
do you already know?
This is the here and now.Not the past.
Not the future.
Bring your heart here,
Closer,
And you will hear it still
Beats within.
You see me standing tall.
You see me now,
Today.
But you have just arrived
On my journey.
You did not see my path
To this destination
Where I stand at this moment.
There were many I had to leave
Along the way.
The ones I believed
Loved me.
Many I have forgotten
But
Few stay within my heart
Where I will hold them
Safe
Forever.
So you look at me standing tall
But
You make assumptions
Dear.
You were not here in the dark
Days
When upon my hands and knees I did
Crawl.
You have not laid your
Heart eyes upon my
Wounds.
Some minuscule.
Some as deep as canyons. I myself have yet to know their true depths.
The ones,
The scars that drug me here
To this place where I stand tall.
