It’s You

It’s time.

Move on.

Let go.

Be free.

It’s nothing new…

You loved for a minute.

You dreamed for a moment.

It’s time.

Move on.

Be free.

Let go.

It’s nothing new…

You can dream for a thousand moments,

You can love for so many more minutes,

With someone that never goes away…

That someone…

Is you.

Grow

Process through the pain.

Feel each new growth as it changes you and your surroundings.

It is not going to be without discomfort.

You are growing, learning, and are yearning to become who you were meant to be.

Looking back, looking forward, staying present, it’s all okay.

Regret, forgiveness, understanding that each experience was for a reason.

For growth.

This process is not easy.

Forgiveness heals.

Forgiving others helps you also forgive yourself.

Letting go of attachments to feelings or emotions, pains or expectations, allows you to find peace.

Allowing peace helps you achieve more understanding of this life and the process of it all.

Don’t hold onto anger, judgement or fear.

Let go.

Release.

Be free of it so you can have peace.

You are worthy of peace.

You are allowed to feel good.

You will keep growing, no matter what.

It might not always feel good, but it will be okay.

You are safe.

You are loved.

You are healing.

Walking

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.

Magic of the Sunrise

There is a special kind of magic, one that is only in the early hours of the day.

There is silence then slowly, taking its place, there comes this beautiful choir of life.

As the sun begins to rise, a wild magic starts to arrive.

The birds start singing, the branches start to wave and all of a sudden, its a new day.

Everything feels good.

Everything feels fresh.

It seems like anything is possible, oh this, this is the magic of the sunrise.

A new day.

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.

-M.

Morning Glow

Your reflections shine for miles, upon the open waters.

You wake me with those soft brushes of light, that shine across the sky, taking away the last darkness of night.

Never do I close my curtains, for now I know of your morning glow.

How could I have ever loved a morning before knowing of your beauty, and how it shines away the darkness of the night.

All my nightmares runaway when you start to glow.

That morning shine, through the window pane, is like nothing I have ever seen before.

Oh how your beauty surpasses beyond expectations, it is such an experience, and no two mornings are ever the same.

-M.

Sunset to Sunrise

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.
