"fight it. take the pain, ignite it"

rise up

strength
is the ability to endure
power
is the potential to overcome
growth
is the moment strength becomes
power
and a challenge becomes
a gift

illuminate

colors muted and melted
to black.
timid thoughts crept out
in the stillness.
memories and dreams sang
a soft lullaby,
danced and mingled
under the milky way.
the quiet made
things simple and the darkness illuminated
in its own way.
home came
with the sweet song of night.

dark places

make art in all the dark places
if you only see shades of grey,
let that be your palette
if you only come up with a sentence
or a brushstroke
let that be your masterpiece

Have you ever felt

Have you ever felt
you loved someone that
you hated the person?

Have you ever felt
you knew everything that
you knew nothing?

Have you ever felt
the overwhelming happiness and grace that
you manifested signs of sadness?

Have you ever felt
the burning heart inside
though you are soaked outside?

Feeling feelings,
i do not fully understand
what they are
but they color the blank sheet of life –

night

in the darkness
she was free to be
without judgment or
expectation so
she claimed the night
and all its
honest thoughts
as hers
and hers
alone.

warmth

let your warmth touch
everything you love

and may it shine back soft as
morning sun,

illuminate the cracks
in your perfect tender

beating blooming heart
