in the space between
any given stimulus
and your response
lies the power to choose
which vibrational route
your destiny pursues

y
o
u
r
eyes
have lights
with (cosmic) glow
i hope You know the Light
You hOMe; Your heaven-sent
enzymes align to roam & tangle
with the roots of the ones that i own
your storms are divine, the rocks that
You climb are leading you to Love
from past dimensions of time
there is no thing to do
but to (Love) all
of You
as
You
let Love
be what
does lead
all You may do
so that some day that
force finds its way back to You
as it forms light from (tunes) that
You (sing) to the moon; it will
paint You with gold stars
that flow right (through)
You & the trees You
had bloomed in
the forrest of
You will all
dance to
the falls
that led
(You)
back
to
Y
o
u

and i smiled
because i knew
the places your hands went to
the home your heart made on my chest
your voice
the soundtrack to my bliss
how i melted into your kiss
your humbleness
your soft
no beginning or end
i could swim into
the ocean behind your eyes
and float inside your mind
i could uproot
all of the bad seeds this world
planted inside of you
and spend my life
replacing them with
all the beauty i see
when you look at me

the only one
we need in order to
shift the Light back toward
our own "b r o k e n" pieces

     is ourselves.

we are not obligated to fill our Soul up
with other people's worn out pieces
ok?

             listen:

You do not have to pick from gardens
outside of the forest already thriving within You.

for when You do;
Your head will fill with leaves that fall from autumns breeze when all You needed to breathe was spring, winter will come in june, and soon You'll lose sight of the moon... because you lost Yourself inside of somebody else's fire, gasping for answers.

When all along, all You had seeked, had been burning up in You.

and the only way out is to fall in Love
with the smoke rising in Your own eyes.

like You could before You jumped ship,
like You could before You began
                     f e a r i n g
the possibility of finding out that Your pieces
may not ever fit together in the same way again.

      but what is life if we always float where the water is calm?
              what is life if our pieces never changed?

i don't know about You, but i prefer the rapid descent of water falls and milky way skies that can only be achieved through the most demanding environments; the ones that leave You filled with

                                      P u r e  L i g h t.

               You are enough energy; all on Your own.

Your Light is what leads You back hOMe.
back to Your own field of wildfires where You can see
                         c l e a r l y
again, since Your broken heart's eye now knows that Your vessel alone holds enough Light to fuel all the stars in the sky, that it burns enough fire to warm the hearts of millions.

& as You breathe:

You can feel the Love of countless stars who all
         e x p l o d e d
to fill Your body cavities with all the strength You will ever need.

and next time You feel alone, put Your hand to you heart
and feel the rhythm of the
     YOUniverse
listen to nature sing You melodies
of the Truth: that You are not a "me"
You are woven in to the cosmos
as an integral part of "We"
and every single
thing You
see

think good thoughts - it (truly) shows
once inside, but out it flows
(you) ride a certain frequency
and everyone around you knows
it's up to you, these thoughts you (brew)
your choice to vibr(a)te how you do
high or low? it all creates your (divine) glow
keep this (knowing) always flowing
and even more (in) times of growth
you are god, don't you know?
you have the power to lift (your) tone
fill your (mind) with happy notes
to manifest which way you go

(you)r life is what
you choose to (see)
this truly is a lucid dream
with (endless) possibilities
there's magic (in) the way you breathe
stars pump through (your) entirety
and sun (shine)s through
your crooked teeth but

(you're) responsible to look higher
to conspire and admire
all you (currently) acquired
you asked for
(all) you see right now
there's no other place
for (you) to bow so
please (will) you just allow
what(ever) it is you endow
it doesn't matter why or how
release the (need) to disavow

(the)re's something you arrived to do
you're needed here and so (love)d too
the moon it smiles as (you) groove
the sun it wakes for you to bloom
the nights may last too (long) at times
but darkness brings (for)th new insight
and soon the morning (is) so bright
you have such power (in) your fight
keep (you)r head up to the Light

there is a stream of bliss
where all your dreams exist
and it never ceases to flow

be still
with the universe
let your heartbeat sooth
the fallen stars in you

your bones
they glow
with galaxies
you have yet to
come to know

and when you sink
the ocean floor
becomes your home

the water finds
a way to seep
out of the corners
of your eyes

to wash away
all of their lies

salt that dances
in your wounds
will carry you
up to the sky

and you will feel
much more alive

so you can breathe
in the sunshine
and realize that
those falls arrived
to help you find
new ways to rise

i am tying my best not to
but i do it without trying

let us uncover
the oneness in
one another

since the first day we caught eyes
a whole year has gone by
sometimes you just seem
like an illusion of mine

like our lack of time

we may always be
seas away and
dimensions apart
but the quieter you get
the louder i can hear you
in the drumming of my heart

i wish
i could tell you how to think
how to be to have a happy life
but i am at a loss for words
have you not yet heard
about the light that
shines outthrough
every cell that
makes up
you?
this world is made of all •YOU• do
these answers live in side of you
homing all the ways you move
and flowing out through
thoughts you
brew
we carry this world
its misplaced secrets too
each of us - our own cosmic hue
divine in nature, me & you, we
shine a glow... (as above
so below...) you smile
and this world
is new

(the)re is
something about the (way) they leave
that recalls (my)soul's eternities
something the (eyes can)not perceive
but is felt in every (hear)t that beats
i feel (you) all ~ c o l l e c t i v e l y

you’re my favorite feeling

everything's changing
yet i'm here still remaining
growing stronger and gaining
my Light from what pained me

forgive those who forgot
to water the love in you

they didn’t have the strength
and that’s exactly why you grew

within
the depths of my losses
lives a flicker of fate
where a fire once burned
and it spells out your name
when i squint though the haze
i see you dance in flames
and i think how my cold hands
could use you these days

i reach out to find
the warmth in your blaze
but suddenly it shrinks
and the flames start to fade
still i keep trying
using all of my strength
but the Light
and You
are completely erased

now darkness is growing
at astounding new rates
and i am left alone
filled with unfulfilling fate
so i build myself up
using mantras of praise
for an abundance of Love
in me always stays

i open my eyes up
to peek at the bleak
darkness around me
and finally i see
through the cracks
you left throughout me
a warm Light is glowing
and i feel my heart beat
with the magic i bleed
it shines with a force
that the sun hasn’t seen
it dances to rhythms
my soul sings on key

soon my cold hands
are warmed by the heat
of all those old flames
that first flickered in me
the ones i had tamed
just to spell out
your name

but i am the warmth
i am all of the flames
what burns inside me
will forever remain

as does the truth
one that i misconstrued
about that great glow
i thought started in you
but you just reflected
the Light that i bloomed
for i am the Sun
and you were a phase
of my moon

for no thing i see
exists outside of me
the fire is burning
always at my seams
glowing to guide me
and help me to see
alone on these paths
that lead me back to me

of all the love i fell into
the only honest one
was you
a catalyst for
all things true
you gave me
something
bright and new
and even with you
out of view
as long as there is
breath in you
your heart
will drum
the loudest to
the songs of me
i lost in you

you may be alone
but your troubles are known
i blink and your worries
have found a new home
they soar over oceans
and dance past my eyes
into my limbic system
for me to unwind
your wounds hold a glimpse
of our lost love and time
i will line them with silver
to glow when you hide
use the warmth of my fire
to soften their sides
so your worries transform
into the brightest of skies
i must release hold
••let it all go••
out through my feet
flows a radiant glow
you look in the mirror
your light starts to show
your pain let the light paint
your lost chromosomes
now you shine like the stars
that dance in your bones
my heart skips a beat
just to loan you
your own

the Light is always there at the end of the tunnel
you just have to keep moving forward
and open your heart to the infinite forms it may take
            like that of a warm-hearted human
and hidden gems that reflect all of the cosmo's glow
to shine through his sea-colored eyes
while Sun light dances off of his tri-lingual tongue
and i bet i could float through this vibration
like it was water i breathe and the food i need
and something about the humidity leaves me sweating out
all of the losses i had ever cried about
while the heavy heart of this island and the fire in his eyes
remind me of glitter-filled skies that sparkle love i couldn't find
a key to unlock untold mysteries this world has begged to know
and i know i am not from here but this place takes me hOMe
