We lost love and we found love
Down the winding path we went
I have to see you now
Reaching through time

Our journey will be long
As we dance along
Candles will burn on
As you take my hand

My man forever you will be
Silent plan for you I have
Together we are
As I see you this time

Walk along with me
With the morning breeze
Reaching through time
To not stand alone

I have joy just to see
His smiling face
As memories linger
Dance with me

I hear that bitter sweet voice
Sharp and cloying
She's so beautiful
But cold and spiteful
Leaving traces of her touch
"I'll take you away from this"
I won't listen to her
I reach out to something safe
No answer
She gains confidence with every ring
No anwer
"Remember my sweet release"
I try again stretching up clawing out of the pit
No answer
I stop reaching
She has my attention

who you are
what you did
when you fell apart
where you stand
how you got there

why you left

you are beautiful
    not perfect
I hope you do your best
    or die trying
if I could find your pieces
    I'd put you back together
I have to search for you first
    in a word anyway
I would try to find a way
    I will be praying

because I care enough
    to hope for understanding

Who must I be
What are the steps
When do I start
Where is my courage
How can I help

Why do I worry

Things I don't know
but I'd like to

I will be praying
God forbid,
you become another lost

answer

Friends standing on the beach,
Talking about what they preach.

Beers in a bottle,
Their thoughts on full throttle.

Justifying their strive,
to live a life.

Talking about the same thing in the same way,
but with a different take.

In all this strife,
while we seek for ultimate fulfillment in different things,
we forget we're preaching and reaching in different ways.

But that is how the universe spins,
Within and Without,
And I accept that it spins and spins,
even when I think of nothing,
even when I think of everything.

I'm reaching and reaching
But never finding what I need
I'm grabbing the wrong things
Love and ***
Alcohol and drugs
Self harm

Those things wont fix you
If anything they leave you more broken

Love and ***
Is just a temporary feeling
That leaves you with a broken heart
Alcohol and drugs
Don't fix a broken heart
It just leaves you with a false sense of happiness
Self harm
Might  help in the moment
But it leaves scars deeper than the skin

I don't need any of that
I need to start grabbing
Love for myself
Self confidence
Self acceptances

I need to stop reaching for the wrong things

what does your hand reach for
away from the power source?
why do you reach away from that which will heal and help you?
fame in the west
false sense of security and peace in the north
greed fuels the reach for the east
down south you will find heartbreak and misery
don't overextend yourself
give yourself a backache from reaching for a happiness that will never come
instead, turn inward for a moment
reach for the light that is within you
give the richest parts of yourself away
and there you will find true happiness.
