I saw a wall
Full of busy people
They dreamed of each other
Day and night

But something is keeping them apart
A small needle in their heart
They each held them tightly
Afraid to let go

This needle of self-blame
Is broken by a mirror
It reflects a silent secret
Of how perfect you are

Why must we hurt ourselves
To eat up that pain and regret
To let the thought of peace
Rob the need for growth

Yet from what peace
Can this needle bring
For all that we need
Is to let it drop

Happiness needs no reason
Acceptance needs no condition
Love needs no requirement
Faith needs no question

So drop that needle
And get back your innocence
To be happy for no reason
To be happy
just because you can
I hope this one makes you feel better.

I used to think
That the world didn’t need me
That if I’m gone
No one will be in pain

I used to live
As if my life was small
And I give away myself
To others I thought about

I used to see
The lack in my being
That I can’t be
What others needed

I used to dream
For the pleasure of their heart
And the love they might spare
To me when I’m down

Eventually
I lost myself
I became
A mixture of other things

It was a choice
To live or to die
What's the point
What is the point?

But l heard a gentle voice
That led me to an epiphany
At the root of my suffering
Lies a hidden questioning

Who am I?
What am I?

Then began the journey
of a tiny hope that lived
To really see and understand why
To really know everything

Years passed
Life has shown me many things
Each brought me closer to the answer
I began to see
The reason for my suffering

I now see
The world as a mystery
It is not known
But I cry at its beauty

I now dream
Of nothing but love
Nothing but myself
Nothing but this

I now live
As a flower in the field
As a being in a dream
As a moment
of love

I no longer think
I just live
And I love
And I am
That...
I hope this one resonates with some of you. :) Much love.

We are who we are
For that we are
If you can see
yourself in being...

Everything is just the way it is
We struggled and survived our own living
But to see love even after all these
Is the reason why we exist

The power we have
is always inside us
The stories we have
is only there to entertain us

Can you see yourself
Without yourself?
To see it as a song
Singing with the whole?

Can you look at your life?
And feel all the events
To feel those cycles and waves
Those breaths and awes?

There is nothing you can’t do
Nothing you can’t overcome
Nothing you can’t love
Nothing you can’t become

You are nothing
You are love
You are god
You are...
Take you time and love yourself

Maybe I loved you
But is time to go
The beautiful life is waiting
And I hope you can find it too

The struggles and pain
of our story
is there for a reason
I know

The being of my love
is there forevermore
Waiting
But my body can't be here, aching
anymore

So it's time to go
On this journey
And let life guide me
Through it all

I think I still love you
But I no longer think about you
I'm not over this
But I need to go

Stay true my love
For you are strong and enough
I'm sure you will find
Yourself and love

Maybe one day we will meet
Again but without any pain
Then perhaps I can give you a hug
And thank you
for all that you gave me
God I love writing, feels so good, let me know if it resonates. Take care.

To become the master of all things
One must become nothing
To let the divine flow through
And let that love dictate

It is easy
To let the mind rule you
To be defeated by fear or logic

The great mystery
is counterintuitive
to let that love be the source
instead of our own words

the brilliant mind of all
is always present
it waits patiently
for you to listen

So let go of thoughts
let go of fear
let go of all that holds you back
and simply be
and create
love
Intuition over logic, sincerity over intention, wholeness over ambition. This is a piece on my creative process

I dreamed of you last night
Kissing someone else
I felt a sickness in my heart
And I ran away

Is it jealousy?
Or maybe is the curse of hope?
Am I insane?
Or am I in love?

Either way
I ran
away and full of pain
And then I heard myself from above

I love you
I love you so much
I will always love you

And I cried
And laughed
And smiled
And just sat
Alone
but loved
A simpler one, I hope it resonates

Can you see that light?
Deep inside you
It has weathered the storms
Yet it is still burning

The darkness surrounds it
Crashing it into tiny pieces
But it just keeps burning
Small, but bright

Can you see the love in your pain?
The beauty in your blood
The reason for your loss
And the greatness of your pasts?

It happens so quick you won’t be able to react
When you finally see the love that you have
To realize the meaning behind all of your pasts
And look to the direction of that golden path

It takes a shift in perspective
To see the world as a great act
To realize the perfection in our existence
And accept the flow of creation

The infinite wholeness is always us
It is eternally together and forever apart
As we dreamed of this endless love
We danced in joy and sadness
As love
