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.

Here
I wanted to be here, this is where they told me to be.
They said I would do well here.
They told me this was where I was meant to be.
I waited and tried.
Gave it my all, even when I felt like each time was my last, again I tried.
I listened and followed, then I realized…
I cannot follow.
I must learn for myslef.
I must find a new place.
That was a big truth to swallow.
To be here, to understand…
To feel free, to be able to independently stand…
I finally get it.
I finally understand.
I am always exactly where I need to be.
Yes, here, but also, not where they told me I should be.
Here is within me.
Here is wherever I am, wherever I need to be.

Driftwood
You have deep scars that not many can see, but you show them all to me.
Many of my scars are showing, but I have others, others that are much deeper, that only you can see.
You try to protect me, as you block the winds and the waves from reaching my open surface.
You carry the weight of so many, as people walk on you so that they can look inside of me, like my wounds are open just for that very purpose.
You seldom leave my side, when the winds blow or someone rolls us apart, you always find a way back to my side.
Nature brought us here, to finish out this life together.
We were both once deeply rooted trees, now here we are, on this shore, waiting for the tides to take us away once more.

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?

The Road to Somewhere
As much as I dream of leaving, I also dream of staying.
Isn’t it so confusing? That push-pull feeling?
Should I stay or should I go…
Every time I think of leaving, I remember how much I feel at home.
Then every time I think of staying, I think about how much I want to go explore.
Show me the world from a window.
Let me see through that looking glass.
Take me for a spin around the globe and then let me come back home and have a weekend in.
Let’s take a chance on a lotto ticket.
Let’s spin a wheel or two.
Maybe we can buy a plane ticket and not know where to.
I have a wild side that needs to go see all the places.
I also have a homebody side that likes to order in and listen to the silence as it dances through the air.
I’m not looking for lovers or one night stands.
Just looking for best friends, adventures, new back roads and cities.
I’m only looking for new scenery.
A new direction.
A new way home.
A new place to get lost in the woods.
A new beach to see the sun rise then fall.
Let’s take a chance and make all right turns.
Then we can laugh while taking all left turns, calling them wrong turns, while we drive back home.
Let’s just go.
Maybe one day,
Maybe sometime,
Maybe somewhere we will go.

The Bridge of Wonder
This bridge, it is a magic bridge, it will lead you to places you’ve never been to before.
It will take you to a world full of wonder, with so many new places to explore.
You will see magic like you thought was only in fairy tales.
Your wildest dreams will come to life and take you away, like nothing you’ve ever imagined could be true.
Walk over this bridge and don’t look back.
One step forward and no steps back.
Count to three and close your eyes.
Here we go, tell all your fears goodbye.
One step, two steps, here we go, no looking back, onward we go.
-M.
Wild and Free
Let’s take a walk on the wild side, skip over puddles, skim through the fern.
Let’s see where all the fairies hide in the rain, and run from the Sasquatch when he shows his hairy face.
Let’s take a walk through the woods, where the moss grows wild and free.
We can picnic in the rain forest and use branches for shade.
I’ll take you for a real adventure, just hold my hand and walk with me.
