You are the Light

They think they know what is best for you.

They want you to dim your light

Don’t they know that even clouds try to put out the sun’s bright light, but it still shines bright?

You are light.

You are strength.

With the strength is how you shine so bright.

You don’t have to try.

You don’t have to understand why.

You are what you are.

They see it.

They feel it.

They can’t seem to accept it.

You are light.

You shine so bright, and help others see their own light.

Keep on shining.

You are the reason why.

You are the light.

Taunting Waters

You challenged me with your mist.

Along your path, you hissed.

A roar, a flow, a gravitating blow, there was no release to your taunting.

Right by you, I walked.

I could smell you, without an effort or a thought.

As you reached my toes, you bellowed out more of your rough talk.

The thought of following you out, amongst your depths, is still a thought, a very daunting thought that is quite haunting.

The Flow

As it flows,

Life begins to find a rhythm.

Just as time passes,

Life breezes by.

There are short spurts in which we exist,

Never really seeing it all put together until a while later.

Time is precious.

Life is, too.

As time flows,

Life begins to make sense.

Let the Ego Die

Introspection

Life is full of lessons.

We can tend to think that one simple solution will solve all of our problems.

Money.

We can think that inner world of ours will be more peaceful if we have more.

Maybe we can work more, take on more jobs, get new credit cards, pull out loans, so we can buy all the new things, so we will feel better.

Feeling better has nothing to do with accumulating more things.

This can bring an even deeper darkness and sense of feeling unfulfilled, as we continue to paddle away from shore, with less and less chance of being able to find the solid land once more.

Solid land is like our peace of mind.

Land grounds us.

Stability and peace come from feeling like you have a solid ground under your feet.

When you know what to expect, or can at least have some preparation for what is to come, that brings peace.

When we are constantly running after more ways to feed our ego, or fulfill this need to feel whole, without actually doing any inner work or introspection, we can find ourselves, spinning around on a boat without oars.

Money can be helpful, it is a very useful form of trade, but allowing it to hold so much power, as to expect it to solve all of your problems, is giving into false hope.

You will only feel fulfilled when you start to work on healing the inner being, that is YOU.

When you start to work on yourself, from the inside out, you are able to create a more solid ground to stand on.

This also gives you the ability to face each storm.

Sail Away

There is this place I want to show you…

It will take a few months, or so, to get there.

We must take a boat, for we can only reach it by way of the sea, as there is no other way to find this special place.

You will see, it will be grand, we will have an adventure, just wait and see.

We will look over to the land, as we take the to the water, hand in hand, to find our special place, on the sea, aboard Harmony.

You and me, we can do it all.

You and me, we will see it all.

You and me, we will be so happy at sea.

There won’t be a sky that we won’t sleep under, or a star we don’t look to, for our map as we sail away, on the wide open sea.

The sea may rage, we may face storms, but we will find peace and Serenity onboard Harmony.

Who knows how long we will be, it may take longer than a few months, we may be sailing for years to come.

Storms may take us off course, or we may have to stop on some islands for more resources, but we will be okay, because we will have each other and Harmony will keep us safe.

We may miss our friends and family who remain back on land, but there is so much for us to explore, we might just need to take our time, for the land will always be there, yet the time to explore is now.

What is time without an adventure to spend it on.

What is life without some freedom to explore.

This life is the only life we have, and it’s time that we go and see the world, from the eyes of a captain, on a boat called Harmony.

Let’s take this voyage, and navigate the sea.

We will have a compass and plenty of things we may need.

There will be no worries, except for what Mother Nature might bring.

It’s going to be the best, an adventure of a lifetime.

You and me, I just know, we can live in harmony, on the open sea.

Bench

The Bench

Let’s sit together on a bench, in the marina, by the sea.

We can wait for the sunset, as the seagulls fly by, searching for their next snack left by some passersby.

It might get chilly, but we can sip on some red wine and feel the warmth it brings as we sit there, in the Seabreeze.

I want to sit with you, cuddled up, as the day floats by.

We will hear the ship horns and the waves, as the day turns to dusk.

We can smell the salty air, as the Seabreeze blows by.

There will be a bit of chatter from the seamen and the boats, but we will just listen to it all in silence, as we enjoy our closeness and the warmth of the wine as we find peace in the breeze and a joy in the way the day comes to an end, on a bench by the sea.

There are only so many days that we can find time to sit and enjoy such a peaceful time as this.

I hope we can come back for another time, or two, but if we don’t at least we had this one time, to enjoy the simple silence and the chatter, the Seabreeze, seaguls and the life on the marina, on a bench by the sea.
