An anonymous face.
A face I can only imagine.
Your words touch my heart like no other.
Such a warm embrace, to hear the words that fill my soul.
You have touched me in a way I can not explain.

I long to see you, or touch you.
To put a tangible glimpse of hope in my life,
that somewhere there is a person that makes me feel this way.

These are not just words, but feelings in the truest sense.
Feelings that are hopefully shared by one other.
Are you listening?

Words so powerful, can you not see?
In a world full of people, and you still chose me.

A ponder, a whimsical thought.
Words pour through my head like rain.
My heart burns with desire, an eternal flame.
I long for a torch to hold my flame.
To rekindle a love that wants to be freed.
Why can no one see what is to be seen?
A one who cares about the little things.

Have you ever seen the light?
It is all around, warming the darkness that lies dormant.
Be wary of the darkness.
It will consume you.
Look for the light.
Be the light that will guide the way.
Live the light.
Let it be in everything you say.
Know the darkness.
Know what it takes to let light shine.
Today is the day.
Today my light will be seen.
I will live in darkness no longer.
I have been touched by light.
The light that lives inside of us all.
It has many names.
Love, happiness, and joy to name but a few.
Learn the light.
Know it by all of its names.
Never forget where to find it.
It is the only thing that will never let you down.

Daybreak shines.
The night has gone away.
Two people rest in slumber.
Not a word yet today.
Who shall awaken first to savor that precious moment?
To look upon the face of someone so dear...
Please...
Let it be me.
Let me be the one to capture the innocence.

Why can no one hear my silent screams?
I speak my mind, yet no one knows what I mean.
They say that I am quiet, I say "Less is more."
The key to my "enlightenment"? Just open the door.
Open the door! Open the door! Come see what is inside.
I challenge you a question. You want the answer? Wait, do not hide...
Some ask for my mind. They ask what it is that I can see.
They ask for the truth, and when I tell them, they must flee.
Some look for answers. Some say they believe.
Some seek to have it all. And to them? Nothing is received.
Reach for the stars, let not this world hold you down.
In this journey of life, it is always homeward bound.
Do not strive for the future while forgetting the past.
The mistakes we've made and those lessons learned...without them we won't last.
Some point fingers. Some trade places. They refuse to take blame.
To them truth is benign, to me, they have no name.
What does this mean? What is it that I am trying to say?
To tell the meaning of it all, could take more than a day.
Now a search begins. A search that has no limit in time.
To find people worthy, to experience these words of mine.
Does that seem rash? Must I put them to the test?
To be a friend or lover of mine, they must stand above the rest.
They must be loving, and caring, and forgiving, and kind.
Qualities some take for granted. Qualities, that are hard to find.
Who will be the person? Who are the people to bring happiness in me?
To see me through the bad times. No more "I's"...there is only "We".
This is the quest, the true journey of what I seek.
To be myself, to share myself, to loving people any day of the week.
How long will it take? Only time and luck will tell.
To have these things in my life? That is a life lived well.
I am alive! Alive! Come one, come all and see.
Experience the best gift I have to offer, the very essence of me.

Time to move on. The end has come.
Time to make amends for the things that I have done.
Time to reflect.
Time to make peace.
Time to make new this life I now lead.

Time to make decisions that lead to tomorrow.
Time for today. Leave in the past all the sorrow.
Time for now.
Time to live.
Time to bring into my life the things that I need.

What about tomorrow? What will happen that day?
Who is to know? It will not happen until I finish today.

Stepping through my mind's eye, I can see clearly the things I want to see.
Visions materialize through imagination, making up the shores of my reality.
What is said of my imagination? Is my reality distinguishable from that which you can not see?
Where does that line begin? It seems to have a likeness of divinity.
What is it to be known when divinity touches my shore?
I want to be enlightened, with knowledge that I have never known before.
So many questions. So many things that are yet unknown to me.
Searching for myself. Trying to find the individual that I most want to be.
I want to be that person. The very best of what I can dream.
Sometimes it feels impossible, no matter what the odds may seem.
Still, I look for that inspiration. That very spark that will send me on my way.
I need to find it soon. I do not think I can wait another day.
Something...holding me back. I am not sure. I can not tell.
Something lingers from the past. Forgotten...left in my mind to dwell.
My sub conscience is telling me something. It is screaming for me to hear.
What it is I can not figure. It is this "not knowing" that I fear.
A time for searching begins. Time to look deep. Break down the walls around the pain.
Do I really want to know? Could be those very walls that have kept me sane.
Too many questions to ponder. Too many "if's" are holding me down.
I must prepare myself for the answers. Whatever the problem, I must turn it around.
Maybe...the problem does not lie in the past, but exists with me today.
Could it be the very thing I am looking for be in the present, formed with these words I say?
The solution seems twofold. A fork in the road can now be seen.
The past or the present? This decision affects the very essence of my being.
Perhaps, just perhaps, the answers lie along a different direction.
I should try to find another option while in this time of reflection.
What about my future? What would my future hold by dwelling in the past?
To be smothered in resentment? That is not the feeling that I want to have last.
I must not dwell in the past. I must use it for strength in today.
Without those mistakes I made, there would be no lessons to guide the way.
The solution does exist. It is hidden here in plain sight.
Make the decisions today, that will make my future seem bright.
Today is the key. Only today can I affect tomorrow.
To live in the moment...turn away from all the sorrow.
The past is the past. Can not change it. Must move on the better things.
Today is the moment. Live today so that we may not fear what the future brings.
That is the trick is it not? To forgive myself everyday for things gone wrong?
I must continue to learn. Continue to live the moment, and help my future to grow strong.
To decide for the future, I must accept that which is to be.
As long as I do the best I can, there will be no stopping me.
That is what I will do. Consider every decision as if it were my last.
Take nothing for granted. Learn everything. Life can go by pretty fast.
I have found direction. It is up to me to see it through.
Anything is possible. Let me see what it is that I can do.
