Your Peace is Within You

You Whispered to Me

You whispered to me,

through the silence of the wind,

through the quiet of the stars,

in the silence of the trees…

You whispered to me, in my ears, to my soul, from your heart, to my whole being.

You made me whole, with your presence.

You danced with me, on the sands of the beach, as the waves tried to catch my feet,

while my eyes slept, at night, and the moonlight healed my soul…

You danced with me among the trees, in the forest, while I searched for you…

So much time has passed since you left this world.

So many feelings I have had, so many fears I have learned to hold onto.

Now I’m learning to let go.

Yet, even with you gone, I can hear your voice, and it makes me want to hold onto you.

I can feel your touch, when a flower grazes over my skin.

Your songs are now sung by the birds, with the sunrise, each morning.

Not a day goes by that you are not here, with me.

For so long, I have dreamed of your whispering voice, telling me it is all going to be okay.

You remind me that you are here, I am safe, it is okay.

A windy day lets me know you are near.

A rainy day is the skies releasing all of your tears.

Time had felt so slow, but now I know it goes by at the pace of your heart beat.

You are the nature that surrounds me.

You are the breath that moves the winds.

I feel you more now than ever before, as you surround me.

You will always live within me, and now all around me.

You are within every living thing.

There is no death, there is only life that continues on, to an existence continued beyond.

You are each new blossom, full of fresh nectar.

You are each sky reaching tree, that moves, dancing in your winds.

You are each sunrise and sunset, with magical light that heals the soul.

You whisper to me through nature, in all the ways you possibly can, reminding me that everything will be okay.

Let’s dance, while I dream, in the moonlight, until the morning comes, when the birds sing your songs, and as the light of the sunrise welcomes another beautiful day full of so much beautiful life, life here and beyond.

Touch me as I walk through fields of grass and wildflowers that remind my skin how to feel.

Hold me on the mountain tops as I take it all in, and let go of all the fears.

Wash me with your tears, as they fall from the cloudy skies.

Remind me how to live, as I discover new life, each and every day that I am here.

For however long, I will exist here, with you surrounding me.

Whisper to me…

Ghostly Presence

You hid from me, in your darkness, avoiding the light like it was a plague to end all life.

There was a ghostly presence about you, one that you didn’t understand.

You were a ghost of the night, but you had a kindness in your eyes.

Yet, you only saw your darkness so you feared your fate would be the same.

You came to me for answers.

You came to me for help.

You came to me, calling out, with cries, for you had nowhere else to go.

No-one else could see you, like I could.

Though, I feared you and your darkness, I saw there was a light, within.

There was a light in which you existed, if only for a moment, here and there, it was what helped keep you here.

A darkness like yours could swallow one up.

It could take one down to the deepest oceans, leaving no trace of your existence having ever been.

You have a goodness within you, but to let it grow will take some time.

You will have much work to do, for this darkness is hard to remove.

The fog around you is heavy, as we walk along the beach.

The waves break and reach my feet.

They cannot reach yours, even though you are with me, you are a bit ghostly, an existence that is hovering between worlds.

How did you get this way?

Life must have really been tough on you, to be here, yet not, and without much hope to be found within.

There is hope…

You might not see it, but it is there, and it is waiting for you to see it, too.

I will walk with you.

We can talk.

I will show you your light.

And hopefully, in time, you can see there is more to this life than the darkness, as we make our way down this beach of darkened sand.

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.

What is Love…

Following your Dreams

Flings

I let you buy me roses.

You let me buy you things.

I never watered the roses.

You never took care of the things.

You wanted to come back over.

I didn’t want you to.

You tossed the things all over.

The roses got scattered with the things.

Now our love is over,

But maybe it was just another one of those flings.

We all Matter
