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.

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.

Strength on the Horizon

You may not always feel it, but you are stronger than you think.

Look at where you are today, it wasn’t always easy, it wasn’t always a piece of cake.

You have fought through many battles, and you have stood your ground.

Look at where you are today, you are stronger than you think.

Yesterday, you may have been full of more motivation, but now here you are, you have gained more momentum, and now you have more power and distance, as those past battles are moving further and further away.

Look at where you have been before, lost and fighting, forever wondering what would come from all the war.

You are here now, a fighter, a warrior, you are stronger than you think.

Look at the clock, it ticks without looking back, unknowing of anything except each tick forward, but you can look back, and you can look to the horizon, if you need more hope, for there is always more strength to come, on the horizon.

You have come this far, you have made it here, let it all be and let that worry go.

You are stronger than you think.

Don’t Stay

Don’t stay.

You can survive on your own.

You don’t need him.

You are capable without her.

If he puts you down, walk away.

If she hurts you again, shut that door.

Walk away.

Don’t stay.

Get out of town.

Do whatever you need to do, to be okay.

Do it for him.

Do it for her.

Most of all, do it for you.

Don’t stay.

-M.

Protection

You cover me with so much love.

You have helped me feel safe.

Making sure there is a balance so I can still feel independent and gain more self-confidence, in my own space.

Yet, however you can, you protect me.

You keep me covered and safe through all of the storms.

Wherever I go, I know you will be close.

Near or far, you are always there.

Thank you, you have become my safe space.

I didn’t know how much I needed you until I finally found you.

Now here we are, so far, yet closer than ever before.

-M.

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.

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.

Sit with Me at Sunset

Today day has been another one of those long, dreary days.

I watched you as you pushed through until the tail-end of an overly draining day.

The waves are calling, I hear them rumble.

The sun is setting, I feel the coldness starting to set in.

The sky is turning into layers of deep shades of orange.

I know of a place that we could go and watch the rest this day fade away.

Come with me, we can listen to the waves rumble, and smell the welcoming salty sea air.

Sit with me at sunset, we can watch the day turn into night.

Sit with me, we can watch the daylight fade away.

Tomorrow is on its way.

Lets go sit and watch all the colors and let the rest of today just melt away.

-M.
