Sonny Day Dec 2017
You are made of the universe

Every atom of once-was
collapsed, collected, configured, combined;
Collaborative Collision

The universe is shared
throughout you
through you

You are the touchstone of history
The epitome of the past
The abstract of all

You span all spectrums
You are every wavelength
You are light, sound, and motion

My favorite color, personified
A soothing, ambient song
The heartbeat in my chest

You are the horizon
The sun setting
The moon rising

I love you and all your stars
Your auroras
Your aura

You are me
I am you
We are of the same dust

The only thing which keeps us apart
is that from which we are

S   p   a   c   e

Just understand some things invoke nature
A soul has lovingly eclipsed you

You have entered my space
and I have entered yours
as we throw wishes to the constellations
from which we once were
Sonny Day Aug 2017
The soul is a perfect occurrence
Diluted by flesh and bone

Born at the mercy of human limitations
Needs
Hunger
Thirst
Protection
The soul needs not
The soul only desires

Joy is found, not in what we need
But rather in feeding our desires

The body is a test
Breaking down our soul,
our spirit
Upon death, we have not failed
Far from failure, indeed
We will have achieved
Faced mortal limitations head on
and said - I can do better

No longer will we be restricted
And the soul breaks free
It is not relinquished
It does not pass on
It is not released
It does not start a new journey

This
is a Jailbreak
An Escape
Leaving nothing unbroken
The soul breaks free
Free to continue the journey it started when it first formed

Life is about desires,
drives,
wants,
passions,
urges

Not needs
Never about needs

So while we spend time
eating,
sleeping,
quenching our thirst

We also spend it ,
sensing,
searching,
dreaming,
pursuing,

striving for more

Deny the physical world
Let your soul burn with passion
And be the fuel which drives you
For it is a passenger,
and this body is a meer vehicle

Pursue that which your soul aches to do with it's physical body; not what your physical body aches to do with your soul

If you feel it within you, you will experience it as it is,
Let it resonate - it is innately good
If you combat it, deny it,
let it berate you - it only breaks you down

The soul facilitates and flourishes
The body demands and devours

Whether an angel, rising
New form, reincarnate
Sheer Essence, roaming

The soul is free again
For no matter what the body needs
The soul’s desires will prevail
Sonny Day Aug 2017
Turn away, deny, deny
Tortured-taunting purged
Can't drown out the voices
If not willingly submerged

Burn bridges, cut ties
Keep demons afar
Never seen a cut that deep
That didn't leave a scar

Push forward, fight through
Must gain ground, or else
Can't bury the past
If you don't dig the hole, yourself

Build walls, shut doors
The levee cracks, decays
Unprepared the rest will be
Though they watched it rain for days
Sonny Day Jul 2017
And today I say you're Beauty
A light no night could cloud

All your life you were a diamond
Treasured
Loved
Protected

You were the focal point
The mystery
The reason the Broken stared

You gleamed from the inside
Your glow engulfed you

And today You say you're Broken
A light the night devoured

Shattered by torment
No longer a diamond
Just shards
Broken glass

                             If stride is broken
       are you not at your own pace
                        If a mold is broken
       are you not your own form
                      If a rule is broken
are you not your own master

Your gleam has left your center
Your glow is beyond your surface

And today I say you're Beauty
A light no night could cloud

If you break, break free
Don't be the focal point
The mystery
The reason the Broken stare

Guide the Broken to your shambled soul
Let your pieces form an essence
Let your light form a beacon

No longer light encased by a diamond
You are light, aggrandized by shards

And today I say you're Beauty.
A light no night can could cloud
Sonny Day May 2016
Through time
You have been a canary in a coal mine
Watching, Listening, Waiting
As others achieved around you

While your feathers could shine bright
And your songs could sing sweet
You sit content in your cage
For fear of what others may think

You have seen, You have heard,
You have learned, You have grown
The timid canary in its cage
Now realizes her true potential

Burst through the cage door
Soar high passed the clouds
For there is no limit
For a Phoenix who can dream
Sonny Day Mar 2016
Would you be the one who got away
If I was the first to let go
I wanted to ask in person
But we both already know

See, on a night much like tonight
I was knuckles to your door
I was in your part of town
A town I'd never seen before

I thought that I'd stop by real quick
Since the walk wasn't too far
Just had to pay my driver
And go two blocks from the car

He'd only gone about 12 miles
Farther than I bought
But considering the time of night
I was all the airport brought

And at your step I finally saw
Just how strange this all would be
Since same-day flights are costly
And you weren't expecting me

I had half a mind to knock just once
But I knew that you'd come down
So instead I'll leave a note behind
"Take care. See you around."
Sonny Day Feb 2016
Beware:
I am the calm.

I will show you the sunrise,
sing you serenades.

I will shoulder your crying,
carry your weight.

I will share my secrets,
tell you my truths.

I will win you with wordplay,
whisper you weak.

I will be the one you collapse into,
in terror and in joy.

And when I destroy you
as you look up to me,
smiling,
you will understand
why people
and storms
share names.
