I am nothing, yet I see myself in everything around me...
I am insignificant; compared to the all, yet the all cannot exist without me.
Be bold, be brave, go wherever the heart leads you.
How can we fear this which is ours?
Isn't it foolish to feel like foreigners in this wonderful journey that we are all a part of?
Why do we believe in things, instead of seeking only that, which is true?
Life is all that there is, experiences are the lessons we get from our master which is Life.
"Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only be transferred by an external force."
Like a worm morphing into a butterfly, We will spread our wings and see existence from a plane much different from this one.
We are not the things we own, nor are we the jobs we do...we are much more.
Be strong...be brave, give love whenever possible.
Be fearless when chasing your dreams, be happy in the knowing the You, beyond the physical, has yet to reach it's journey's end.
autumn is now making us feel its presence
i am aware, time is of the essence
my moments with you are threatened
my moments with you hasten to end

treetops are dotted with yellow, red, green
dropping leaves of brown, orange and gold
to cover the grounds, now made softer
With those fallen leaves of autumn
winds would later hastily blow cold
Warmth now gone, content no longer there....
for,
in your sweet thoughts
i fear I might  be lost....
in your heart, the flames may die.
no longer there, your burning desires.

------------the days to come--------------
-------i will be amongst people, but------
---in that part of my mind, each moment---
-----i would spend in solitude, with you
------------but, this much i know-------------
-------you and me are just a dream------
-------you and me, we are worlds apart------
----------i don't have much choice------------
------------i would be there, BUT-------------
----------you would be nowhere near--------
---------we are blown different ways, like-------
-            ---------fallen leaves of autumn---------          

(...thoughts of us in autumn are getting into me.....)

We should know
That there's both
Good and bad
In a rich man
And a poor lad

We should have acceptance
Not judgement on
Religion and skins pigment

We shouldn't worry about
Your book smarts
But instead the kindness
In your heart

Maybe then we'll
Realize we are the same
And end our ego's
Foolish game.

I like giraffes.
It's funny when they drink.

I don't care for orange.
I don't know why.
It doesn't excite me.
I don't expect it to excite me.

Rainbows are okay.
They're pretty cool.
When I see one,
I always say
Hey! There's a rainbow.

I like pillows.
They're comfy.
My pillow is the comfiest.

Zebras are melancholy.
What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore--
And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?
I have heard enough talk,
I have read enough books,  
I know of what you speak

He lies in the grotte
He waits in the dark
He loves in the shadows
And he preys in the light

Which is why he should
Begin
Begin again to see
If once he learns
His brave
Can turn to coward

He can be one of us
And he can love in the light
And hate in the dark.
Do you hear it?
That noiseless stir?
Such peace exists
With a strong benevolence it churs.

Let the mind wander,
Your thoughts expand.
Relax and sink into the unknown;
Only so far can your sanity withstand.
Silence, peace, sanity
Dreams will come and dreams will go.
But where they go, I do not know.
New experiences are had day by day.
And unlike dreams, the memories stay.
So create all new memories and live for the fun.
Because in the end, you only have one.
To the fullest extent, only one life to live.
And in all the years spent, only one heart to give.
So shy not away from that heavenly face,
but accept it as a blessing and feel it's embrace.
Let it shower you in gifts, compassion and love.
Open your heart to the heavens above.
For through all of the pain and all of the strife,
love can be seen as your dreams come to life.
