I see you,
Hurting and not telling anyone.
I see you,
Falling and falling, struggling to pull yourself back up.
I see you.
It’s okay.
It’s all going to be okay.
You are safe.

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.

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.

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.
Fly away with me.
We can see new sights.
Hear new sounds.
There will be new adventures to be had.
On our way we will soar over the sea.
The waves will rumble below our wings, but we will keep flying, safely above the sea.
We will fly through the clouds, feeling their softness as we glide through.
Planes will pass us by, they will be loud, but it will be okay.
The passengers will wave to us, saying, “Hi”, as we fly by their windows.
Fly away with me.
We will see new lands.
We will experience new things.
There is so much more to beyond the open sea.
Come fly away with me, it will be an adventure, just follow me, you’ll see.
Lets fly away.
-M.
When I look at you, it takes me back, to when life was easier.
Life used to be more free.
Things were different.
Everything felt so much better.
Now it all feels like a distant memory.
How does that happen?
One moment we are here, the next we are somewhere else, entirely.
I miss the way things were.
I miss the freedom, the laughter, the peace.
Now we must learn to accept the new ways of life.
We must find new ways to laugh and find peace within the not so normal.
For now I will just keep that memory alive, of how things used to be, while learning how to move in this new way of existence.
I will find my peace in that, to help me carry on, with these days of lost minds and forgotten peace, in the silence of more loneliness and time apart.
Thank you for helping me find some inkling of hope, for being here, for listening and for holding all of the past within you.
You have brought me hope, even if all you did was sit there and listen.
In the silence of sitting still, we can find more peace.
-M.
Sun, when you fall, I don’t know what to do.
I want to catch you in my hands, and set you back into place, among those brightly colored clouds, in that ever present sky.
The colors that you bring, when you set, are unbelievable.
Then, again, when you rise, I am in awe.
You bring beauty and life, for us all.
The colors sing to my eyes.
My soul feels the joy of each night and new morning, sky.
Yet, I still feel as though, when you fall, I must catch you.
I watch as you decent and disappear, to who knows where.
There are stories of the sea taking you, but they must just be tales.
For you wake us up each morning with your glowing breath of life.
Wherever you go, whatever you do, I am grateful for you, for all that you do.
Sun, thank you.
I love you, I really, truly do.
-M.
