Embittered.
Worn out.

The soul yearns for its long lost counterpart,
only to find itself undulating
on the waves of uncertainty.

The soul has had enough.

The lighthouse was planted with its roots
Close enough to the faint smell of the salty water
Yet, keeping a safe distance from the its vicious waves.
And much like the lighthouse,
Not even my shadow dares to
Dance past the line
Between the calming shore
And the mysterious sea.

An owl
Told me
Once upon many times,
That I must
Love valiantly,
Toss fear to the wind.

But when I'm alone
Defenseless,
Stuck in a limbo;
Infinite possibilities await,
Sir Owl, I pray thee
Teach me:
How do I love
When I'm afraid
To    
     F
       A
          L
             L ?

I don't know who I am exactly...

and I think I'm ok with that.

Because I get to choose who I'm going to be every day

when I wake up in the morning.

As far as tomorrow goes,

I hope the sun shines through my window...

I need a warm reminder that brighter days lie ahead.

I need help to rise with a pep in my step,

hopefully with productivity and a plan in mind.

Because this year...

I will brave the treacherous aisles of the grocery store in the days before thanksgiving.

And I will be nothing if not gloriously triumphant in my quest.

I hope.

I pray.

Blink, tell me what do you see?
A puzzle thats unraveled, or a finished masterpiece.
Close your eyes, tell me what do you see?
A calm quite river, or an endless rushing stream.
Now open your eyes, it’s ok to be scared, to question what you know.
But I am right beside you and, together we will grow.
Together we will grow.

I'm on a bungee it feels like
diving head first
falling into the unknown
.
.
.
You hold the bungee tight in your hands
but I'm sick
to the stomach knowing
this could be the last time
.
.
.
.
I see you
.
.
.
.
.
Please
.
.
don't
.
.
let
.
.
.
go

I have never known more fear than I have felt on a roller-coaster
The fear of being up so high and the possibility of crashing down

If this is what love is like then I don't know if I want it

Might be fun, might be scary
Heart pounding, echoing through body walls
That feeling of uncertainty
Embracing every fiber of your heart, body, and soul

Time has passed and it won't be returning
Look around, everything is changing
Stopping is not an option; just keep running
But pause. Look around, everything is changing.

A ring around my finger, my children lying in bed
From being a teenager, I am now that parent I once dread
Everything is changing. But there is one solid ground.
To have you by my side, to ease uncertainty's subtle pound.

Pull me down when my heart's soaring in fear
Stand your ground when uncertainty is so clear
Pray hard when you feel that everything is changing fast.
Then pause. Look around. Everything is changing. Fast.
