Focus
Focus your thoughts on each moment.
Let go of the last.
Understand you will get to the future.
You are here, now.
Bring your focus in.

A Flame in the Wave
It came at us like a wave, full of passion, full of life.
There was a fire inside of us.
A burning flame, one that not even a wave could wash away.
With each wave from life, , it would just reignite.
A fire so bright, not even time could dim.
If the waves carry us away, back to each other we will always swim.
A flame in the wave of life, that is what we are.
Life has kept us apart, though we won’t always be so far away.
Only time will show us what will be left, as we have to accept life and let go.
Only time will show us, if this flame is able to grow, while we have to stay apart, for a little while longer.
No matter how long, no matter the distance, we won’t ever truly be apart.
I’ll be here waiting, keeping the fire burning in my heart.

When You are with Me
Play with me in the water,
Lay with me by the sea.
Let’s walk on the sand and wait for the waves, as the tide to comes in.
The sun will set and the air will grow colder,
But when your with me, the cold will not matter.
We will walk hand in hand,
Watching out for crabs in the sand.
We will collect rocks and shells,
There will be so many that our pockets will overfill.
We can pack a picnic and feed the the leftovers to the seagulls,
When you are with me, the days will never, so we can just walk the sandy beaches forever, at peace, hand in hand.

Watching as You Drifted Away
Did you know that I was watching?
I was watching you as you drifted away.
You got on that boat and just like that you were gone, oh how I wish you could have stayed.
I couldn’t sit at home, as your side of the bed felt like the morning chill.
Your warmth had left with you.
All I could hear was the silence of the unmoving air.
Though, I could smell you, it was like you were still here.
Your aftershave stuck around, the scent seemed to be dancing in the air.
It was taunting me, my eyes wanted to fill up with tears.
As your scent was lingering, my body was trembling, holding back so many fears.
You left a sweater, so I put it on, hoping it would help me feel some comfort with you being gone.
I decided to follow your missing shadows, they had followed you when you left, in the early morning hours.
I wandered down to the docks, hoping to catch one last glimpse.
The sun was beginning to rise, it glowed a bright orange, with a background of a cobalt blue sky, a blue that reminded me of your deep wise eyes.
There was no telling which of those moving shadows was yours, I was longing to see into the depths of those deep blue eyes once more.
I felt the tears begin to well up, as I began to realize, there was probably not going to be another chance to say goodbye.
I will wait for you, my dear.
I will wait for you, right here.
Please stay safe, and when you’re done, please come home to me, please return to me from that wide open sea.
Until then, I will be waiting, wearing your sweater and hoping to, once again, feel the warmth of you.
I will wait for you.

Walking to Find You
I’ve been walking for a long time – trying to find you.
I’d continue on, barefoot, waiting and searching, just to be with you.
So many miles, so many hills, I’ve searched.
There were many mountains I didn’t think I could climb.
When I found the summits, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
You were there, always with me.
I felt your presence, though it was not always so easy.
Winds tried to knock me down.
Storms blew by and I’d fall down, not sure if I could keep climbing up the hills.
Though, I knew one day I would find you.
I knew one day, we would meet.
I knew one day it would be easier.
One day it would all come together.

The Fog
Walking forward has always been challenging.
Not knowing what to expect, what was supposed to be.
Each corner seemed to have more darkness that overtook the light.
Each road seemed to have more bumps than just simply easy driving.
Then you came.
There was still so much fog, but now I could see.
There was so much fear, but I knew what would be.
Everything felt different, I felt it was destiny.
The fog was there to keep us trusting.
The fog stays there to keep us focusing.
Tomorrow will come, but today we must believe.
There is so much more than just this pain that we have been feeling.
There is so much more light than the darkness that made it hard for each of us to see.
Now we must just keep believing.
The fog will help us see, but its through the trust that we will see.
Trust that all this peace is meant to be.

The Edge of the Sea
I followed you to the edge of the sea.
The waters splashed upon my face and I called for you.
You had left me long ago, yet still I tried to find you.
Into the sea I went, but the waves lifted me back up and rested me upon the shore.
I waited, unsure of where to go, cold and lonely, lost and yearning, I waited.
-M.
Healing You
I feel your pain, it beckons for me to find you and help you heal.
You have been tortured, you’ve been cut down.
You no longer feel the abundance of what you once were.
You feel your life is not your own.
I see you.
I’m here.
I will place my hands upon you and heal you
In time you will grow and be abundant once more.

Love Songs
Love can be whatever you want it to be.
It can be a mystery, or a sweet storybook fantasy.
Love is said to be patient and kind, but it can also feel sticky and bitter at times.
We want so badly to be in love, yet sometimes that is not as a simple as the words above.
Love can be whatever you want it to be.
Do you want it to be like a sweet lullaby?
It really is such a mystery.
Love is challenging, love is deep.
Love can be whatever you want it to be.
We always hope it will be easy.
You trust and give and lose so much sleep,
Yet, so easily, it can be lost like a ship at sea.
Though, it is okay, for there will always will be more love songs to play,
And once again, you can fall asleep while counting all of those fence jumping sheep, just hoping, one day, you can find your love again.
Love can be whatever you want it be…
So, what will it be?
