After all these years

Posted on by

Life is funny…
ironic even
You are a dream
Dreams come true
True as life
Life happens

Life is a circle…
Through experience and friends
We were connected
Like asteroids in the cosmos
Our circles bumped and collided
in space and time

Life happens in time…
Timing is everything
The time wasn’t right

After all these years,
I think back…
Strangers?
I think not

From the start
Radars alerted
Glances given
Smiles received
Hearts beat
Energy electrified
Intensified

Time is energy…
Sweet pangs triggered
Waves of wonder and curiosity
Moments enveloped
Developed into dreams
Dreams of fate
Glimmer in the shadows
Patiently waiting

Waiting…
for what?
For time…
A chance crack
A blossom of hope
Something
Out of the blue

Fate happens
Faith endures

The window cracked opened
Chance breezed in
A breath of fresh air
Embraced with a hug
Welcomed with a kiss

Embers rejuvenate 
Slowly, surely
Emotions combust
Feelings meld
Life binds
Dreams solidify

Fate happens
Faith endures

How long did it take?
Seemingly forever
Everything in time
LIFE does reveal itself
Eventually
However it takes

Timing is everything
Now is our time
Time is life
Life is a gift
Life is funny…
ironic even

Ode to a teenager

How two people can live together
And not say a word to each other
Is beyond me
When did it go wrong?
When did the smiles stop?
When did the kidding cease?
When did the love go away?

I’ve known you forever
For all of your life
I birthed you
Nursed you
Bathed and fed you
Soothed you
Played with you

It all seems a lifetime away
Days now dark and grey
Clouded and hurtful
What little we do talk
Your eyes are dead
I can’t look
But I need to

I need to let you know
I love you
You are my seed
You are a part of me
I am a part of you
When you hurt
I feel it

Still, I see you
Beautiful, intelligent
Shyly confidant
Well liked
The world will be yours
I want that for you
That is a mother’s wish

I am your mother
That will never change
We will not always live together
May not even live near
Distance in miles is bearable
Distance in heart is not
I hope that’s not the case

Hope is sinking
I’m fighting it
I have no choice
Can’t let it go
Heartfelt wishes
Heavy and deep
The loss is numbing

You are my seed
You are a part of me
I am a part of you
All I can think of?
All I want to do?
To let you know
I love you

Moon Child (Sunless Seed)

This is probably the most heartfelt song I have heard in a long, long time. I have myself been shown lately that we are all very fragile souls and we do indeed need the love, nurturing and guidance to be the most we can be to oneself and to each other.

This song hits home on so many levels… all very true, all very heart-wrenching, all very sadly beautiful.

If you have a daughter stay
By her side, teach her right, her’s is your life
Learn from your mistakes

And if you’re sent a son
Be a man, hold his hand, show him love can
Be what makes men strong.

Cause honesty is all you need to carry on
~Moon Child (Sunless Seed)

It brings to home the realization that life is short, the people that surround us and our relationships with them are precious.

 

I am resigned…

I am resigned
To live a life alone
That is my sad existence

I’ve always known it
For as long as I can remember
Didn’t want to believe it

I’ve lasted through it
Like a hovering cloud
Some days darker than others

Life, it’s sweetness and happiness
Had me on the verge
Ever on the outside looking in

Often dreamt of
A sense of belonging
Eluded me

Often wished for
Love and being love
Has missed its mark

Even the unconditional love
The “love you thru thick and thin”
Has left me

Unsettled and strange
Desperate and deflated
Scared and lonely

But, I am resigned
To live a life alone
That was my sad existence

Lost In A Moment

Posted on by

What I can say…
I miss you

We talk
We have fun
We play with words
and each other

It tickles me
YOU tickle me

I love your mind
I love your spirit

I love your smile

I love to touch you
I love the feel of you

I love when you reach out
and touch me

I love how I feel…
when I’m with you

I love the feel…
when you are inside of me
Probing
My mind
My heart
My soul
My being

Did I say that I love your smile?

I look into your eyes
I see YOU
looking at ME
ever so deeply
That heats me.
Heats me
to the core of my being.
You have no clue

It captures me
Enthralls me
Immensely

Wraps and zaps me
to brain freeze frenzie
And I embrace it
with a school-girl fantasy
Only knowing better
KNOWING
This ain’t no fantasy
It’s as real as real can be

That alone
In itself
Works

I have my moments, babes
You just brought this moment out
In me
For you

What It Is..

Posted on by

Life can be way too serious by all means. I think we owe it to ourselves to make the most of every single moment. If we can get lost in a blush, an honest-to-goodness smile, a whole hearted laugh til you get to the point of tears or simply a soothingly warm feel-good moment in the course of our day, that’s precious! That’s where the “living” comes in. I’m all for living!

At A Crossroads…

Posted on by

A friend posed a comment this week and I’m having a hard time digesting it. They basically said they were at a 4-way crossroads: life, death, jail or freedom.

I look at that statement and I see only 3 options.

LIFE is self-explanatory. Life is LIVE and with it comes with all the essential flavors of our being… the glory and exuberance, the pain and heartbreak. We deal with it. We embrace it. We strive. We excell. We survive.

Now, looking at the alternatives…

DEATH. It’s a quick fix and an easy cop-out, but perhaps a form of freedom none the less.

JAIL is a semblance of death with less freedom. I look at it more like living in limbo or purgatory… it’s neither here nor there. I can’t help but think if you stay there long enough you may very well opt for Door #2.

FREEDOM. This is where I got stuck. My mind drew a blank. I could not understand where this fit into the picture as a separate option. So, tell me… as much as I like to keep an open mind, am I missing something?

A Pebble on the Road of Life..

Posted on by

I was listening to the radio this morning and someone said something that hit me to the core: a body at rest, rests; a body in motion, moves. The important thing is to keep moving and strive for a better you. Even if you do something and fall on your face, it’s not the end of the world. At least you are moving forward and that’s the key! What’s a little stumbling block afterall? A pebble on the road of life. There’s always a way to work around it or simply toss it out of the way. Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts (Arnold Bennett). With the support of family and friends or even a networking community, there is always a solution.

I’m Just Sayin’…

Posted on by

I am a very private, prideful person… perhaps to a fault. Some say I`m just plain hard-headed. It`s just the way I have learned to live. Family and friends make suggestions, recommendations and even offer their assistance from time to time. Most times it`s appreciated, but I basically take it at face value. If and when the time comes and I opt to take them up on their offer and they in-turn say `but wait!` and come up with more excuses than I really need to listen to… it only re-affirms that I am better off keeping my business to myself and let faith and the nature of things simply run it`s course.
