Your Soul won today.
I want you to know that.

When you don't try,
Things fall together,
Just as you want them to.

When we play basketball,
We are told to watch the hips,
And not the eyes.
So we see what the body does,
And we react to it.

It is much the same way with people,
Watch their actions,
Not their mouths.
For the former speaks louder than the latter.

Brick by brick I build my tower,
Day by day I grow my flower,
So when one day,
You ask me how I grew my power,
I'll tell you I did it,
Day by day.

It is best to do it right the first time,
Even if done slowly;
Than to do it improperly a dozen times out of haste.

For when I am with you,
I have the world in the palm of my hand.

I know it must end,
But it's easier to pretend,
That it won't.

That my heart won't break,
That my voice won't shake,
That my legs won't quake.

It's so much simpler,
To let the strife slide away,
And push that conflict back to another day.

But when all is said and done,
I know it must end,
This must someday be gone.

Through peace there is power,
Through stillness there is strength.

It is the end of an era.
Everything has come full circle,
And now, it is time to go.

Be like wine,
Get better with age.
For the moment you stop striving,
Is the moment you start dying.

What are we but a loose string of stars?
Tied together through luck, fortune and chance.
Dancing through the night,
Our rays shimmering through empty space.

I'm afraid.
Afraid to be happy.
Afraid to be at peace.
Afraid to be calm.

But when I see you, I see a life without that fear.
I walk towards it, my whole being shaking.
Knowing that the future I've always dreamt of is here.
But it's that same future that I've always feared.

To know what I want, yet to be afraid to take it,
Is the cruelest form of suffering there is.
It is like having a hungry, empty stomach,
and a throat as wide as a tooth pick.

Yet, I march on, trepidatious as I might be.
For I see a beautiful life, just you and me.

Be free,
And sing the song of your Soul.

Your star shines bight from where I'm watching.

Look at how free you are,
Free from pain,
And from past scars.

They hold power over you no longer,
You are free.

How do you face the truth,
When you've been living a lie for so long?

Oh, **!
How lucky am I,
To be here,
Happy,
Healthy and
ALIVE.

The day when my dreams and my fears collide,
Has come sooner than I thought.

Two men will enter,
And one man will leave.

One the surface I am petrified,
But on the inside, my soul sings.

The Light is back in my life. :)

Steer out of the sorrows of yesterday,
And let Today be Today.

I feel the energy flowing in me,
The breath returning to my lungs,
I am Alive again.

My friends were there.
My family was there.
How long will it be until yours is there too?
Caught in the crossfire of an angry man unchained.
Lying on the pavement, with life having left their body.

But we'll say prayers,
And hope it won't happen to us.
We'll send out a Tweet,
And forget it ever happened in a week.

Prayers are not enough,
We need change, and we need it fast.
Otherwise,
This mass shooting won't be the last.

The flat lands,
The rows of corn,
The cool breeze,
I'm coming home.

It won't be long,
Until I see you again,
It won't be long,
My long lost friend.

When our loved ones die,
They're not really gone.
They turn into the trees,
Slide into the breeze,
And morph into the air that you breathe.
Think of these things,
When they're gone.

We are not constituted of bones,
Nor muscles,
Nor arteries.
We are made of stars.
And we burn on as the Divine Fire for all eternity.

Do what you have to do,
So you can do what you want to do.

Remember who you are,
Spirit made physically manifest.
A body in the shape of a star.
And when it comes to being you,
There's only one thing you can be,
The best.

Health is not the absence of illness,
Health is the presence of joy.

You are where you should be,
So you can become who you could be.

It's beautifully sad to see a friend go,
Even though you love them so.

Who would've thought that sitting still,
Being bored and alone,
Would be the hardest thing of all?

To phase in and out of things like a ghost,
Is a sorry way to live life.
Stand rooted in your affairs,
Your feet firmly on the ground.
But with your eyes to the stars,
As they will guide you on your way.

That's what this place has to offer me.
I do things better here than I ever thought I could.

Colors are brighter,
Sounds are richer,
The world is lighter,

I'm in love.

I've borne my Soul unto you.
I've shown you my flaws,
My imperfections,
The chinks in the armor.
And instead of running,
You smiled,
And asked.

When do we start?

The secrets of Life,
Lie in the stillness of the mind.

Your choppy waves slam me onto rocky shores.
Your droughts dry even the wettest of forests.
Your wind wipes away the strongest of trees.
Your fury leaves nothing but scorched earth in its wake,
Where nothing can grow back.

It leaves my heart in two.
That's why I just can't be with
You.

The tide is turning,
My fears are burning.
Going up in smoke,
As the rest of my doubts drown.
Slipping under the surf,
And disappearing into the sky.

It rains today,
For flowers to grow tomorrow.
So do not fret when your shoes are stained with mud,
For that merely means you'll soon be out of your rut,
And in a beautiful field of flowers.

Charge fiercely at fear.
With teeth bared
And nostrils flared.
For the fight is on,
And there's no turning back.

I see waves crashing and breaking on the shore.
I can feel a lightning strike shoot up my spine.
I hear thunder clap as its echo moves in rings that encircle me.
I feel the Cosmos swirling around and within me.

The only curses are the ones we put on ourselves.

I feel free;
To live without the burdens of the past.
To exist now in the present moment.
To move through life without worries about the future.

To move through life as a fighter,
But to have a heart and mind that are quieter.

When I walk alone in a crowded place,
I often catch the wandering eye of a stranger.
Whose gaze shows a longing for a life,
That has passed them by.

Don't play the game,
Stay in your lane.

Take one step,
And another,
And another,
And eventually,
You'll go higher than you ever thought you could.

Allow,
Don't concentrate,
And soon,
You'll levitate.

Something happens when I look in her eyes,
I can't help but get mesmerized,
She steps into my soul, with one that's old,
To take a quick peek.
But when I do the same, she plays hide and seek,
Always evading and pulling me on,
Until my inhibitions are long gone.
My fears melt away, one at a time
And before I know it, I feel sublime.

'Cause when I look in her eyes, I see two stars,
burning bright all day and night.
I see two pools with infinity bouncing around inside.
I see only truth, moving through the lies,
When I look into her eyes.

These are the growing pains of Life,
Breathe,
Treat yourself with Kindness,
And they will subside,
Just as the storm disappears into the horizon.
