DRIFTING

WITH YOU
I AM ADRIFT UPON LOVE
AND THERE IS NO EARTH
TO LAND UPON

You come to me in my dreams
Full of promise and wonder.
Exciting me with words of promises and touches ever so faint leaving tingles on my flesh.
Do I surrender to this enticement knowing come light of day you will vanish, or do I send you away and deny myself you in all your glory.
I am quickly getting lost in the wonders of your words. Loving how they pull me in and make me feel things I didn't know we're possible.
My body reacts only for you. I am under your spell now. I give of you myself do what you will. Make me feel alive before the light of day when the annoying sound of my alarm will steal me from you making me wake to the harsh reality of my waking life. Hurry please don't make me wait!

life's lesson

Looking back at my life I wish I could have done things differently.

So many things I wish I could take back or redo.

Than I realize that those very transgressions I wish I could change have molded me and made me who I am.

Oh the irony of it.

Today I no longer wish away my life like I did in my youth. I wake every morning and thank God for the blessing of a new day.

I look forward to what the future has yet to be.
Like a child waiting on Christmas morning to open all those presents under the tree.

I welcome what yet lies ahead

Question of a lifetime

Today I asked myself a question.
Am I up for this challenge?
Could I stand by and do nothing?
Would I be able to live with my decisions.
Soul searching is often difficult because sometimes you learn just who you are and whether you like who you have become.
Today I asked myself,
could I really sit by and watch a loved one suffer when I have the ability to give them a second chance at life?
Today I Chose the path less traveled. I took the first step to give him a piece of ME.

My brother in law is in need of a kidney. Today I found out I am a match.
