Your Peace is Necessary

It’s all Going to be Okay

The View

When we take a closer look into nature, we can see the beauty that we would normally overlook.

As we go about our daily lives, there are many things that we can also overlook.

Taking time to appreciate the simplicity of our normal lives and find value in the small, overlooked things can bring a new view of peace and gratitude.

We must always remember that it takes many simple things to get us through the stressors of our daily lives that we don’t always hold much value in.

Maybe if we did, we might find more to appreciate.

Always find more to be grateful for.

You deserve peace.

Dreaming of You

I fell in love with you in a dream…

You seemed so real.

A life without struggle or pain.

A life full of passion and joy.

You were not a person, not a man or a woman, you were a feeling…

A feeling of freedom.

I fell in love with you in a dream…

You were not a lover, you were not a kiss, or a hope for something to physically touch.

You were a feeling…

You were a breeze, a wind that lived within me.

You guided me like a breath.

Through each moment I found you were there to lead me through each path.

I fell in love with you in a dream…

You held my hand, like the gentle motion of a whisper through the air, guiding me to where I had always hoped to go.

You did not tell me things that I thought I wanted to hear, or show me fancy cars or promise me rings and material things…

You showed me how to let go of all that was in my way…

You lead me through each block in my mind and reminded me how to play.

You showed me I was necessary and that I had the key the entire time…

I fell in love with you in a dream…

It was a daydream, a night dream, an imaginary world, one which I never wanted to leave…

A dream of being free to feel and explore…

A dream of being me, without a thought of what anyone else would think of me or how I chose to be more.

You lead me down paths of mystery that I had always hoped to discover.

I fell in love with you in a dream…

Now I only hope that you may be real, for this is a dream that I could find much gratitude for.

Ready set Let Go

Show Me

As I walk through the rocks and feel gentle tickle of the foam-edged waters, show me…

As I dance through the hot sands and find the cool smooth surface of the wetted sands, show me…

While the air flows over my face, letting me smell the softness of the salty air, show me…

Show me how to live.

Show me how to love…

Show me the ways of this world that man has forgotten how to honor…

I want to know how to breathe without fear of death.

I want to move without fear of pain.

I want to love without fear of a broken heart…

Show me…

Show me how to live harder, and to not fear pain.

Show me how to understand passion without fear of falling.

Let me know it is okay to live in a way that takes me to the edge and back.

Let me feel the breeze at the edge of a cliff without fear of the ground below.

I want to know how to live without fear of death, for death is just a natural part of this human existence.

Let me know how to swim in open waters without fear of drowning, for I want to LIVE!

Express passion to me through a wicked storm, and show me how to survive it.

Engage with me in a Sundance that taunts my wayward eyes that long to gaze at its beautiful presence.

Enchant me with a crescent moon and the wolves that howl at it.

Let me feel pain, let me be free, let me know how to explore more of the beautiful land and the expansive sea.

I want to know how to dance with rainbows and caress the breeze with the sway of my hips that flow with my heart beat.

You know me, you are me, Mother Nature, show me how to be free.

Memories of the Past

Love and Hate

You grew up in a world that was surrounded by confusion.

So many things seemed to be simple.

So many things seemed to be unobtainable.

You grew to think you understood love.

You grew to feel all too familiar with hate.

A mixed bag of things…

Hate vegetables, love video games.

Parents argued, hate your dad.

Love books, hate school.

So easy.

It’s all so normal.

Though, you felt lost and unsure, never really fitting in.

Seemed like life could be pretty easy, once you grew up to be over 18.

Yet, it didn’t get much better, more rules, less freedom.

You thought it might be different.

Thought it could be easier.

You wanted to grow up and be free, yet now you see it isn’t quite so easy.

What happened to all your dreams?

What happened to all those fancy things?

Didn’t you dream about becoming rich?

Didn’t you think it would be like the flip of a switch?

Wake up and you’re an adult, now the world will be yours to take…

Love and hate.

It’s a real battle.

Freedom and fate…

It’s like eating cake.

You don’t really know, until you grow up and find out…

That cake will now make you gain weight.

Now you also have to pay for that cake.

Then you have to run a mile, or two, to burn off that cake.

Being an adult, it’s not quite so easy, you see.

You thought you understood it all.

You thought you could live easily.

You thought life would be so simple.

Now you have to eat your vegetables and video games are a thing of the past.

Love and hate.

Now you know love is better, and hate is a waste of energy.

Being kind is a better use of your time, but it’s also overwhelming…

Being kind can make you seem weak.

Now you have to learn boundaries.

What even are boundaries and why are they a thing…

Let’s not even get into the complicated world of dating.

Men and women.

Men or women.

You really don’t even need any of that anymore.

It is really not an area you would enjoy to explore.

Time is ticking, and skin is wrinkling.

One day maybe there will be time to just exist.

No worries.

No fears.

No bills.

Not even a doctor promised happy pill.

Just a long moment to remember the freedom of being a child, without a worry about love or hate or anything other than… oh wait…

Let’s take a step back – it is not about love and hate.

It’s just about you.

You must accept your fate.

Dream big.

Find time to play.

Balance it all out.

Try not to stay up too late.

Life is what you make it.

Create it.
