Trees

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

It's true
I crave you
Your words
Your walk

Head to toe
Your soul's enticing
I am not afraid
of the unknown

Come or go
Leave or stay
No matter what
Your presence is a masterpiece.

Morning sparrow do not fly,
But stay aside my stoop and sing,
Your warm, effulgent songs of joy,
That give your life to everything.

Her sharp melody rung,
And spilled in to the air,
The sweetest that was sung,
Arresting and fair.

Joy is the thing which flies,
That frolics in the sun,
Resplendent in the sunny beams,
Eternal life just begun.

And my God have I accepted that there is a truth and I do not have it.

*how many **** times
have I been where I'm standing
just to turn around?
I have vowed to get my life together more times than I can count, but I'm still pretty much right where I started

It only took a spark,

A glimpse of happiness,

To start a fire in her heart.

A fire that shines bright for her even in the dark.

A glimpse of happiness.

Buried deep within the soil of her soul.

And as time unfolds,

She'll remember how it only took a spark,

A glimpse of happiness,

to bring forth blossoms from her once sorrowful heart.
Don't lose hope. Find your glimpses of happiness.
