i think bodies are just vessels for soul
they are not who we are, they are not the definition of us
they’re just storage until we pass on to that place that is neither great nor terrible nor recognizable or nameable in the slightest
not a heaven or hell
a feeling in the direction we touch as up
nothing there
nothing we have words to describe
it’s a just

What if there was no past?
What if every morning we woke anew?
If we didn’t remember the last

What if there was no future?
What if all we did was in the moment?
If we didn’t need to secure the final suture

What if all we had was now?
What if it was just a single second with nothing attached?
If we weren’t worried about the final bow

What if we could speak without constraint?
What if we weren’t concerned with the ifs and buts?
If we didn’t care how the words could taint

Would we say what we’ve been feeling all along?
Or would we be left silent with it all on the line?
If it were only the present, would it all go wrong?

This loneliness would not seem so heavy
If I had never felt a warm heart
Delicate sounds
Sharp tongue
Trembling fingertips

The bitter part of bittersweet is never the most painful.

Every responsibility
is an opportunity to prove
that you are
exceptional.
Take every assignment
as a chance to prove
to the whole world
that you are
one of a kind.
You were born you,
you were born to be you
and you are here to be the best you
that you can be.

I look back in the past
To the memories that will always last
To the smiles and the tears
The shouts and the cheers
All the kiss and hugs

I look back to the happiness
Those were the times I loved best
Spent with family and friends
With them the fun never ends

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time
A mountain is what I will climb
So I can go back to familiar places
And I know it won't be a waste

To give that loved one, one last hug and kiss
It would be priceless
And that is what I miss
