Depression hits
like a tidal wave.
It comes without warning.
It leaves you drowning,
but you have to be brave,
because if you expect
to be saved,
your sadness
will be waived,
by those already drowning,
beneath their own wave.
There's nothing you can do,
but hold on,
and pray it fades by morning.

I sat beside
the waters edge,
and pondered
the life in the riverbeds.
I wondered how
it all began,
the fish,
the tides,
and the small
grains of sand.
It seems to be
a question to me,
just how exactly
it all came to be.
It's complex,
yet simple,
and began
with a ripple,
from the birds,
to the turtles,
to the small
little minnows.
This world is a circle,
a never ending cycle.
What lives always dies,
but secured with a tie,
will return back to live,
only to return back to die.
I wrote this, as I sat by the river, and watched the sunset.

She is an angel
with the devil inside her.
She has fire within her soul,
and if you
are lucky enough,
to see her dance
beneath the moonlight,
beware,
this is her home.
At this hour of midnight,
beneath the full moon,
she is at her strongest.
As if all the witches
that burned before her,
now stand behind her,
guiding her,
by leaving secrets,
hidden in the constellations,
and written in
the ancient
language of the stars.
She being,
the last of her kind
that can decipher
their meaning.
Watch her
as she dance's
in the moonlight,
and see her ancestors
dance beside her.
She'll spin,
and leave you tranced,
because she knows,
you cannot fight her beauty,
or the magic,
hidden inside her gyspy eyes.

I can't wait
to see the sunrise
over California skies.
I know when I get there,
I won't believe my eyes.
It'll be a new kind of high,
to watch the sunrise,
way above the mountainsides,
into that California sky.

I am learning how to love myself,
even when there is no sun in the sky.
I am learning that I can still be happy,
even when the rain is falling,
and the skies are a gloomy grey.
I am beginning to understand,
that we cannot
place our value in someone else's eyes.
It starts with us.
It starts with gazing into the mirror,
and shedding tears of forgiveness
for who we used to be.
It starts with loving every curve,
every freckle that marks our cheek.
It starts with reading between the lines
of who we are, and who we want to be.
It starts with learning
how to dance in the rain,
rather than sitting inside
watching it splash the window outside.
If we can learn to forgive ourselves
for every mistake,
and for every shortcoming,
then we can harness our inner light.
If we can forgive ourselves,
then we can transcend our inner fight,
and finally learn how to love life.
~ It's part of the journey.

Wanderlust
consumes her heart.
She longs for lands
she has never walked,
and for people
she has never met.
Her gypsy soul is free,
and so it follows,
the colors of the wind.

I'm running from the sun,
but I'm chasing the moon.
