I want to see the northern lights
but I cannot say why

it is said that sometimes
if conditions are right
you can see them from here

but it never seems to work
for me

even if the sky is clear
I cannot see them
when I am told I might

others say they have seen them here
I don’t think I believe them

some set a camera
on very long exposure
to take their picture

I can’t stare at the sky
for a very long time
all at once
like a camera

maybe I want to see them
because I haven’t seen them before

there are other things I want to see
but never have

like the life I was meant to have
with you

maybe if I’d had
a better camera

How can thoughts be real
They're not solid enough to touch
So how can someone manifest
A feeling such as love?
Can you
Hold it
Breathe it
Squeeze it in your hands
It's forcing us to trust
In the invisible
Once again

Because although you can't see it
  It can still disappear
Love is the sad song
That left you crying in your beer

Blind sided
It can hit you
And you best believe it's true
Love is as real
As the way I feel for you

Our souls do what they do best. Speak fluently in silence.

Even the earth struggles with finite woes when the horizon calls like a distant dream. Leaving our unchatered minds to imagine beyond the vastness. Secrets of the stars,  and rhythm of the auroras.
A timeless wonder indeed! Inspiring the  adventures of men in the moon, space and beyond.
Nevertheless, the infinite depth of what was, what is and what will be will forever remain is to uphold
And even though the cosmos may seem so far. Every being knows its path beneath the sun. For each footstep, big or small, strong or fragile. It found the courage to grow and stand tall
Through valleys of doubt, over mountains of fear,
With every stride, the path becomes clear.
Each step a story, a dream taking flight,
A journey unfolding, from darkness to light.
The ground may tremble, the winds may howl,
Every bruise, every scar, a mark of grace,
That shows the courage to continue the race.
No matter the size, no matter the pace,
The steps we take, leave an indelible trace.
For every challenge, we find the strength to stand,
Each footstep a testament to the soul’s command.
Finding  a place admist eternal praise.
We are Unity

The ocean a mirror, whole yet always broken.

Unspoken soul and a restless heart that echoes tenderness, yet beats untamed.  I see myself beyond the water's gaze.

The waves bring me back to shoreline. Safe and sound. I sync into the ebb and flow unwinding the mind

The clouds hoover, filled with vengeance and wrath the ocean roars. A mystery of the tide, that reflects the higher highs and lower lows.  I watch from a distant as I ponder over it.

The ocean a mirror whole yet always broken

My feet at the shore line met a match so true, and much more in between. Mind synced, eyes spoke. But soon the waves seemed to crash our sand-castled dream, much left was our hearts going against the grain.
