Rough Beauty

Learning can be simple.

Learning can be tough.

Growing can be easy.

Growing can be rough.

Nature makes it look simple.

Nature makes it look easy.

Growth is beautiful.

Learning is living.

Healing

We heal when we remember we are part of nature.

We heal when we remember we are whole.

We are healing, with every breath, with every moment, with each movement.

We are healing.

We are whole.

– M.

You are healing

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.

Gone

There you were, walking in the fog.

We had been apart for so long.

It felt like a lifetime has passed by, since you’ve been gone.

Though, there was no embrace.

There was no tear in your eye, not even a drop that would make its way down your face.

It was as if you were different.

Your heart had changed.

My heart seemed to go silent, no longer could I feel its beat.

My lungs were waiting, desperately, hoping to again, soon, be able to breathe.

It was as if we could no longer be.

As I stood before you, there was a silent storm starting to thunder inside of me.

You turned away.

I couldn’t find the words to ask you to stay.

You were gone.

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.

My Love

When I gave you my heart, I didn’t expect you to hurry up and leave.

There was so much that went on, there was so much passion, there was so much love.

We talked all night, about forever.

You told me you would keep me safe.

I gave you my heart, you took part of it, then you ran away.

Now here I am, still searching, still pushing, without you by my side.

When I gave you my heart, you decided it was time to go.

You got half of me.

Maybe its time to let you go.

Yet, I am, still here, hopelessly waiting for you to reappear.

Hoping you will remember all the late night planning, all those dreams we wanted so badly to appear…

Here I sit, waiting, longing, hoping for the other half of me to come back home.

Come back to me, my love.

I’ll be here, waiting.

-M.

Trapped

You have been crippled, blocked by your fears.

There seems to be no way out.

All you can see is more that keeps you trapped in fear.

There may be a tall cast iron gate, and a barbed wire fence, but look at what is beyond.

There is a life that you desire, a peace that you deserve, a place where you belong.

Behind these bars of fear is not safe, is what you say.

There is so much out there, beyond this gate.

Look at the sun.

It has to continue to push beyond…

Beyond the sky, beyond the sea,

Beyond the darkness and what it cannot see.

You must, too,

You must push through…

Beyond the fears that keep you trapped here.

Find your way around that gate, for there is always a path from behind the gate of fear.

-M.
