Nearest

Right now
Is all
We have.
Yesterday
Is gone
And
Tomorrow
Isn't here
Yet.
So let
Us live
In a way
That will
Allow us
To learn
But not
Hold
Regrets.
This is
Of
The utmost
Importance.

Thankful List

Loving
Being
Reunited
After
So long
Apart.
Because
Everything
Is right
Now.
Nothing is
Missing
Now.
My
Heart
Is full
Now.

This Is It

Lift your head up
Carry on
Keep going forward
Even if
You cannot move beyond
It's not where you stop
It's the steps
That truly
Matter in the end.

Wallpaper

Nothing much is left
Now, just an echo of my past
And the resolve
That's deep withing me
To do something
Bigger, something greater
Than me.
Nothing much is left
But light where goodness was
But dark where hurting was
But words written upon
Some old, scratched surface
And I want something more.
Something greater than today.
So, lets tack up our plans
All over the walls, so
When they fall, we'll know
Who to turn to -
And what to do -
When everything changes...
When our world caves in...

Try, Try Again

Always keep trying.
Never give up.
If you cannot
Make yourself
Be understood,
Try
Something
New.
If you feel
Out-of-place
Try
Feeling
The love
Of those
Around you,
And even
Those
Not
Around you.
If you feel
Constricted,
By all means,
Break out of
The box
That holds you.
Try
Seeing life
Outside
Its
Walls.

What Hurts And What Doesn't

It doesn't
Hurt to give.
It hurts
To hold too tightly.
It doesn't hurt
To be.
It hurts
To deny
Who you know
Yourself to be.
It doesn't hurt
To be in the light.
It hurts
To be the one
Left behind.

Overflow

Let whatever
Goodness you do
Flow in,
Over and out
Of you
To benefit
Those who
Might need
Something good
To hold
Onto...

Unpredictions

Fire and rain.
Earthquakes and pain.
What it leaves behind
We cannot wash away.
Death and it's friends.
Wrongs without amends.
What it leaves behind
Is wishing we said
What we had to say.
So take this moment,
Speak your truth in it.
Don't wait for something
That may never come.

Break The Clocks

I wish
Time would
Just
Slow
Down.
Just for
A minute.
To capture
These moments
These all-too-
Fleeting
Moments.
These
Precious
Moments.

Wanting More

Beautiful day
But the time went by
Too fast.
How can I grasp
This fleeting thing
So it can last?

Next Time

There might
Never
Be a
Next time.
So spend
Your
This-time,
Your
Now-time
Wisely.

Wasted Time

Spending so much time
Just waiting and thinking.
How much more time will I
Waste with this worrying?
Can I keep up with all
That's going down?
Can I stay strong
Without turning around?
These thoughts and more
Come haunt me each night.
I wonder when - if ever -
Things will be
All right.

March Madness

It means a lot
To give and take
Admit mistakes
And then move on.
It means a lot
To think upon
The nearly lost
The still with us
And then move on.
Do you remember
The fear we felt?
I do.
Do you remember
How are hearts broke?
I do.
Do you know how much
You are loved?
I hope
You do.
