I'm just a work in progress.
Be patient with me please
As I continue to grow
Into who I'm meant to be.

I can't ever promise perfection.
But I hope that you can see,
My struggle for forward motion
And improvement will not cease.

It's quite possible you're a painting
That's still not yet complete.
Do not worry; do not fret my dear;
One day you'll find the missing piece.

Maybe we can help each other
On this journey towards our full selves.
For I believe that when I started searching,
I found you as well.

It is in this same manner
That I pray we will remain-
Growing fully into ourselves,
And in each other's hearts the same.

I am a work in progress.
It's not a bad place to be.
For you're not finished either,
And you'll journey through this with me.

I have always wanted to chop off my hair
But when I walk in
And they smile sweetly
What can I do for you today ***?

Just a trim
A few inches tops
Maybe a couple layers?

And I leave
Disjointed
Disappointed

And I hide behind the layers of boring
That frame my identity
Kissing me
Tenderly
I melt
With joy
Cascading
All around.

Three in the morning
Full moon bathes the yard and snow
Trees wait in silence

Green ash leaves on blue sky and
seagulls wheeling 'round

Where does it come from?
What is the spark that lights the flame?
A mystery to constantly chase?
How are we inspired?

By a word we think we hear?
By a memory we may have remembered?
A question we seek the answer to?
I don't know.

It is easy to lose it,
To forget to see what is there.
Too easy to stop seeing
Too easy to stop listening and only to hear.

It can become just white noise.

Too easy to forget to be inspired.
Find it.
Listen.
See.
Pay attention.
Love.
Feel.
you never know what may inspire you today.
