Float along,
But grow as you go

You can learn to swim
But must accept the flow

Choose your path
And let it choose you

It's a combination of what is
And what you do.

If it's meant to be,
Then so it will.

Accept

Love

Be here

Be still

Experience fell upon me,
Offering a new cloak, a new journey,
A new perspective.

It did not come at once but gradually,
Testing and teasing,
Evaluating my worth, my willingness,
My will.

It is still unraveling before me, daring me to dance, to follow,
To love

And I will,

Because only in living can I live,
Only in being can I be,
And only in loving can I trust, hope and flourish.

The destination is the journey, and it will continue as I do.
Becoming as I become.
Being as I am.
Me.

It's all there for us to know but first we must not know,
We must learn, we must grow, we must live.

The tears of a clown
Silently spill
Behind the makeup
Internally

The world cannot see
Truth masked in smiles
The fool to all
But really to himself

Pain shielded in mire
Hilarity the cloak
Protecting truth,
The Shadow

Which lives in all of us,
But in none so obviously
As when it is not visible,
At all.

Release this shadow
And diminish it's power
Relinquishing the truth,
Is all that will relinquish you
And ultimately save you,
From yourself!

I wish I was a ladybird
Scuttling on a ledge,
Never thinking, never worrying,
Just living on the edge.

Free to stay or free to fly,
Whatever I decide,
The world is what I make of it,
I simply ride the tide

But I am like that ladybird,
Free to fly and go.
Do I need to get the timing right?
No!

Jump! Fly! Go!

Swirling, Twirling, Whirling mind
Chasing answers you'll never find

Release that light inside of you
Let go of suffering and just be true

It's all there for you to find
If you sit back and trust it, blind

You're made for the world and it for you,
It'll all unfold, no need to pursue

The time is now and now's the time
Jump in, begin, it's yours and mine.

Bright and Beautiful
Big and Bold
Lighting up Everything
You can never be told

But somedays it's harder
To smile and to be
Somedays you need solitude
Just to be free

Just as the sun sets
To bring in the night
So must your soul set
To let in some light

To rest and recuperate,
Reflect and convey,
But tomorrow you'll rise again,
Another new day.

Floating overseas,
No one direction,
Following the ebb and flow
of my heart

Alone but surrounded,
Uncertain but sure,
Where next? what next?
Home? Where's that?

Where my heart is happy,
Where my soul is free,
Where that balance is found,
Is where I will Be.
