Breathe in peace.
Breathe out fear.
Breathe in healing.
Breathe out fear.
Breathe in trust.
Breathe out….

Peace
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
Timeless
Your presence, it grounded me, yet it also gave me wings.
You were far, yet you felt so near.
I saw your scars and felt your tears.
Your energy was freeing, it made me feel like I was riding on the waves.
You were new to me, yet your timeless beauty and wise old soul was like nothing I had ever seen.
How did you lose so much of yourself?
Over time, I guess we all do.
It feels like through many ages, that I have known you, yet it has been only minutes, and hours, not even a day, not just yet.
You stand there, by the waves, feeling it all, taking it all in.
I am so astounded by you.
There is so much to learn from you.
Now I keep finding myself wondering, where I would have gone, what I would have done, had I not taken that chance.
Yet, here we are, so close, yet still so far away.

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.
-M.
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.
Lets Fly Away
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.
Running Away
With the waves chasing me, I ran away from you.
Hoping you would try to chase me, I kept looking back at you.
Laughing at myself, and not knowing what you would do, I took off my boots and ran barefoot, in the grainy, dry sand.
Hoping you would see how much the waves wanted to catch me, I ran closer to the waters edge, to show you I was not worth losing.
I continued on this quest, seeking your love and adoration.
The foam caught my toes, it was soft, cold and wet compared to all the grainy, dry sand.
You were not interested in being a chaser, as you continued on, focusing only on what was in front of you.
I saw you looking the other way.
Wandering slowly in the other direction, your attention focused on your own path.
Not sure what to make of it, I let the daunting pull of the waves take me further and further away.
You sometimes glimpsed at me, but only before the waves captured me, and not with much interest, only a slight curiosity like a parent keeping track of a child.
The waves pulled me under.
You didn’t even notice.
You kept walking, at a pace that was steadily, taking you further and further away.
Not even my flirtation with death made you hurry along, to be closer to me.
Maybe there is no hope of you chasing me, after-all.
Or maybe, I should be walking slowly and steadily, in the opposite direction, knowing that I don’t need you, after-all.
Hearing the waves crashing, I knew the answer, and it was not to follow you.
It was not to follow anyone at all.
It was time to find peace, with my own solitude.
Out of the waves, onto the beach, I walked, I walked away from you, further and further away.
With the waves still chasing me, I focused on my own path, knowing the love I was seeking could be found within me.
Knowing this, I smiled, to myself, feeling the peace, in this knowing, drenched from the waves, feet covered in sand, I knew I was complete.
