Waking up is easier
Than letting go
Holding onto something big
Will eventually make you blow

The past is in the past
Which shall be erased fast
I can never let go of you
The way your eyes shine ocean blue

Its been awhile since we've spoke
I've taken one too many tokes
My feelings are coming on so strong
But, it's been way too long

I do not feel the same today
But it must remain this way.

Today is a new day
We can all just get along
Just set aside the judgment
Life is much too short

Pain will linger
And time will tell
The flowers bloom
And the stars shine

Tomorrow is an adventure
A secret held so deep
You and I are so different
But, we are here now

Be kind to everyone
And love like never before.
This is random

One beautiful feather
Floating down,
Down
Down
Twirling in the wind
So light and so fragile

My mother once told me
That you light your own path
And what one man treasures
Another may trash

But to see the beauty
In everything and everyone
You must not let yourself
Be consumed by society

You are beautiful
You are a feather
This to me just describes how everyone is so obsessed with looks rather than personality or conversation.

Dreams are pictures
that have not been taken
Places that have no been seen
Songs that have not been heard

Peace is waking up
and not worrying about
All the little things that
Could or could not happen

Love is a mystery
A blessing or a curse
You'll know if it's right or wrong
The minute the door closes

But, life is a choice
and living is a gift,
Do not take advantage
For tomorrow is never promised.

Change is in the air
Unfamiliar faces
Fear sinks in
And whispers quietly

"You cannot do this"
"You shall not succeed"
Nothing is the way it was
You want it all back

Change is frightening
And overwhelming
But it shall not be feared
It can bring amazing things

Things never imagined
The world's unseen

We are all a tree
With branches that weigh us down
And leaves that change with the seasons
We need water to survive

The wind has the ability to knock us down
Or sway our branches to such a point
That we feel as if things will never be the same
But next year, we start over

With fresh leaves and ideas
We can become anew
We all have roots that keep us in our place
Keep us from leaning over too far

Humanity is scattered about randomly
But also planted for purpose
The forests are slowly disappearing
And soon humanity could too

Treat humanity as trees
We need them to breathe
To live
Mr Ribeiro Nov 2016
are forevermore greater
