To watch you hold your breathe, Until your final breath is through. My very last ounce of hope, it seems to be in use. I'm not sure when or where or why I feel as that time to say goodbye May be closer than I thought Could closer be what I have sought. I struggle just to see the day I struggle more to do and say I feel as though my time may be cut shore

Out of Breath
An adult is but a child a few years older, We think the same, but sometimes time Has thought us what we know. Time doesn't make us wiser, We enlighten ourselves If we wish, we seek and wander, or we can stay safely on our shelves. So who's to say who's smarter, Who's to really know? Who's to say that knowledge Is that, that really shows.

Time
I'm like an old tree Growing in the wind I am shaped by it's direction I can try to fight it but the wind Is too strong for my branches I can move with it. What is more beautiful Than a tree that moves from root to leave What is more unique? I was always like this tree But I used to move stiffly Trying to find stillness Now I find stillness when the weather allows it I find it in due time And until then I dance freely with the world

Perspective; sheds a light on truth. One story holds many truths, that is told through the half-truths that went before us. We are victim to both past and future, but what of present? Only what we allow ourselves to be

Truth
We all come from another, We are made up of those who came before. Some will have the privilege of knowing, Others will not. Life is not fair, It is not ours but belongs to something greater than us. We are but a small speck on it's timeline Of much less importance than we might think. We are here to be here, that's it To breathe, to live We are here to leave our mark And it is ours to make, that is the little control we have.

Generations
I lie awake through the night See your face through the sunrise And I know that you're alright See the darkness, See the darkness Leave your eyes And I'll wait 'til you're fine I will stay by your side And I hope that you're alright Grey clouds will fade And the will fade in time Good night as the Blue Moon It shines, shines upon you Hold me close, hold me kind I have come, come to find That I know I will be fine Find a light to help and guide me Good night as the Blue Moon It shines, shines upon you I need you to stand by I need to say Goodbye I need you I do Good night as the Blue Moon It shines, shines upon you

I've been thinking about what it is to die. And what it is to live. We inevitably experience both. Life is like a gift. You may love, you may hate. Some unfortunately return it. You might waste it and throw it away unused. You may be thankful, grateful for it. It's all about what you do with it. We are all marked with an expiry date One we won't know until it's too late. So take this gift and thank the giver. That life is as good a reason to live for.

The Gift
My room is a mess Almost as messy as my head. And I remain alone. Alone That seems to be my new home, a place where I feel so uncomfortable but can't escape Home is where the heart is? My heart is but a functioning ***** Keeping me breathing, And I don't see the need I am a home bird with no home.

Home Bird
The world is in chaos A disjunctive melody But in there is music Some sweet soulful harmony. Listen, move closer To the core, to the core. Back to beginnings, see beyond All uproar. We are not better, Superior, special. We are equal to the world That has held us.

The world is a song
I dreamt of you last night I saw you on a train You smiled like you understood, You understood my pain I woke up and you weren't there I woke up A dream is but a dream And then my eyes they open And your existence is but a spek of dusk To the world But not to me, To me my world is altered And I cannot start again Life's definition lost all meaning You're heart still beats through mine And I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming
