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.

How do You Treat People?

The way we treat others has a big impact on them, as well as showing our truth, or who we are.

Are you short with the wait-staff or with the cashier?

Do you get angry with people on the road, and blame the traffic on them?

Do you see the connection between us all and try to treat others with patience and kindness?

Have you been struggling to see others, especially strangers as regular people who also matter?

Watching so many people disregard others, just because of their life position or their job, or even because they are strangers that they think they will never see again has been devastating to see over the years.

Don’t you know that how you treat others matters?

You have the opportunity, in every experience with others, to share light or to share darkness.

How do you like to feel?

Do you think others want to get treated poorly because you don’t think about the fact that each person has feelings and has a purpose?

We all matter.

That person driving slow on the freeway may have anxiety.

That cashier might be on their 6th day in a row, working overtime because nobody wants to work.

That waitress or waiter may have been dealing with many other grumbling restaurant guests because staff is short and the kitchen is backed up.

These are people who live in this world with us.

We are all struggling, in different ways.

When you bring light, you bring peace.

When you bring darkness, you bring misery.

Don’t you think we have enough misery in this small world?

There are so many ways to help bring more light…

So many ways to help lift others up, so that they can go on with more joy and gratitude in their life.

You are capable of bringing light, if you choose to do so.

Let’s lift one another up and see that we are all important and necessary.

I see you struggling, and I see you knowing that you could be a bit better than how you have been.

We can grow and learn, so we can help bring more light into this darkened world.

Let us find more peace and joy and spread it with each interaction of our days.

In the darkness, we must always bring the light.

Don’t Give Up

There are so many things in life that can try to steer us away from our goals or aspriations. When you have a passion, or have your mind set on a specific path in your life, push through. Find a way to get there and don’t let road blocks move you away from your final destination.

We can easily fall down.

We can easily give up.

What takes more tenacity us to push through.

It takes strength to get back up.

You have it in you to get back up.

You have it in you to succeed.

Believe in yourself and find those who also believe in you and want to help you, by encouraging you to go after what you are aspiring to go after.

Don’t ever give up on yourself.

You determine your future.

You determine the outcome.

Don’t give up.

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.

-M.

What is Love…

TRUST THAT IT WILL ALL BE OKAY
