If there is pain, In This Moment, face it
If there is peace, In This Moment, embrace it
If there is love, In This Moment, receive it
If you're here, In This Moment, don't leave it

Shooting stars may take your breath;
But form no constellation.
They do not point the way back home;
Yet still we love to chase them.

See the way she comes and goes?
She’s got the ocean in her bones.

Look, we’re all family
Stop hating your brother and sister
Who look different than you
Or pray different than you
Yeah your skin’s a little different
But it looks beautiful on you
If we came together
Imagine what we’d do
If we loved each other like we’d love each other to.

No one ever got hurt by loving too much...our pain comes from needing to be loved.
We fool ourselves into believing that love must come from somewhere “out there,”
...when in reality we hold infinite love inside ourselves.
If we realize this, then we are free.
Free from fear and hate,
Free from desire, dependence, and delusions;
Free from the prison of spite and self-pity we build and live within.
We raise these walls to protect ourselves from pain
...before we realize walls can't stop pain.
Pain is inevitable...But suffering
Suffering is not.
Though we may be in pain
If we practice Love we will not suffer
Pain is visceral, suffering is spiritual
Anger, sadness, regret, worry...none of these things can survive simultaneously in a person who is intentionally practicing gratitude...who brings compassionate presence
TO THIS MOMENT.
...right here...
We must love without restriction or inhibition.
We must love without judgement or expectation.
We must love even when it hurts to love...
In fact, we must love ESPECIALLY when it hurts to love,
Though we are afraid, and may not be loved in return.
You will lose nothing through practicing love, and will stay lost until you do.

Theirs was a love just as pure as the sky
Screaming for freedom, forbidden to fly
Theirs was the song of a whispering heart
Two handfuls of dust as it all fell apart
He read her like poetry, she loved him like home
Ablaze in the void, like starlight they shone

I feel all the molten love I had for you cooling into a coffin of stone hugging my heart…suffocating me as I sink into this puddle of tears and muddy memories.

They all slip through like grains of sand,
Like drops of water from my hand,
Their smiles flash like fireflies,
But my North Star is in your eyes.
You're freedom's promise...salvation's song,
You're moonlight's twinkle on oceans calm,
You are this perfect moment's soul,
The innocence this lifetime stole.
I'm the rage, the wind, the beast,
You're the sunrise in the east,
I'm the ocean, cold and deep,
You're the seashore I can't keep.

My mind has finally settled
Like a peace after a storm
The gales have turned to whispered breeze
The night turned to the morn
The shrieking raging tempest
Gives way to sparrow song
The white hot lightening's fire
Has melted to the dawn
Through the trembling of thunder
Through the battery of hail
Through the fury of the heavens
The sun will still prevail
She twinkles in the darkness
Reflected in the moon
She melts the icy hardness
Freeing spring from winter's tomb
So too my heart now blossoms
Having weathered winter's blight
Sometimes we need the darkness
To appreciate the light

Yeah, right now I feel alright
I feel you here tonight
Missing you, my sweet starlight
Fill my darkness darling bright
Against the roar you're my respite
Against the storm you're watertight
Despite no happy end in sight
I won't lose you without a fight
To keep you here I have no right
So until dawn I'll hold you tight
And love you dear with all my might

Oh, but what a fleeting life,
To do with as we please...
The future is uncertainty,
The past gone with the breeze.
Life is but one moment,
Repeating for a time...
How long we can't be certain,
But right now we are just fine.
Present with compassion,
Let intention guide your way...
This moment holds eternity,
Arrive here now and stay.

My darling, I did not kindle the flames of love for fear of the darkness...
For was it not in the darkness that first we embraced, freeing my soul from its barren prison...allowing it to taste the purest nectar that flows from your sweet kiss?
Nor were these flames of passion kindled to melt the frozen winter of solitude...For was it not in solitude when I did most clearly hear the whisper of my own heart, singing to me your name before I had even known the splendor of your smile or the triumph of your touch?
My dearest, the blaze in my breast is not a decision, a choice, an invention, nor a consequence...no, this incandescent luminosity we ephemeral beings identify as love is forged in a moment unbound by time, in some sacro-celestial domain unconquerable by mortal flesh...an ethereal reverberation imperceptible to the mind yet irresistible to the soul.
How rare to have loved...to have truly loved in such a way that permits unconsecrated flesh to gaze fleetingly upon the glory of heaven and bask momentarily in the glow of immortality.
Yes my love, how fortunate are we to have loved and through loving became divinity's ephemeral manifestation.

Troubled souls love dancing to the voice of lovers past;
Whose songs are sown with melodies of days not meant to last.
That rhyme in time with teardrops to a heartbeat out of tune;
Whose haunting echoes fill the silence of an empty room.
They ring with resignation...call her long forgotten name;
They drip from lips like poison...joining tears that fall like rain.
As lovely lies form lullabies that promise no more pain;
My soul will go on dancing as my heartbeat sings her name.

She dances through the garden
Blooming flowers in her wake
Chirping birds duetting
With the crickets by the lake
A newborn fawn with wonder
Marvels from her resting place
For she never saw a dancer
Blaze with such resplendent grace

Falling down like raindrops
And I just can't see the end
Hold yourself together now
Just don't let go my friend
Feeling darkness like a chill
Taste the salty tears
Choking on a lifetime
Filled with bitterness and fears
Time rewinds for no one
And tomorrow's a mirage
The pain won't last forever
But you'll always have the scars

I cried for you last night again,
...and swore it'd be the last
Then as I slept I dreamt of you,
...and tears fell twice as fast

I should have never let you go...
I can't do this alone...
I thought losing you would set me free,
But now I'm missing home.
Things were getting easier...
I thought the worst was through...
I never saw it coming...
When I ran into you.
The icy truth wraps round my throat
and haunts me every night,
I'm never getting over you.
...and might never be alright.
The folly of a foolish heart,
Young, naive and free.
Blessed with a love so beautiful,
But was too blind to see.
I hope that there's a purpose
A lesson hidden in the pain
I hope I find the sun again
Cause I'm drowing in the rain

Why am I this way
Trusting nothing others say
I'll love you forever
But I'll still push you away
A trillion miles from heaven
But it's right there in your eyes
I promised you forever
And we both believed my lies
Sinking into darkness
As I'm whispering your name
I hope it's not too late to tell you
That I love you just the same

So I know it goes both ways
But it felt like you never really loved all of me
You loved me as much as you were possibly able
But some pieces were missing...and it's so tough to love missing pieces
Then again, it goes both ways
Maybe I needed to learn to love you better
Instead of expecting you to love me harder
Maybe keeping score isn't always the best way to win
Maybe holding on tighter hurts more than letting go
But if I'm drowning either way, I'd rather not do it alone

You're the first thing I think of on waking
My last thought before drifting away
My dreams are bound by constant aching
That greets me new each day
You're the ghost that haunts my nights
The splinter in my soul
The only song my heart recites
The piece that makes me whole
In scornful silence evermore
With hopes to mask the pain
In silence, though, I can’t ignore
My heart calling your name
What a fool I must appear
To foster such desire
That our love might reappear
And set the past on fire

I woke up in the wrong world
At the wrong time
I know the right words
But they don't rhyme
In the wrong shell
With the wrong mind
I'll never stop looking
But I know I'll never find
The wrong lips
Speak the wrong line
The wrong eyes
Miss the right sign
The wrong voice
For the right song
The perfect sound
Where it doesn't belong

Your scent it drifts
The breeze's gift
And locks me to your soul
Your smile fills
My soul with thrills
Look, now I've lost control
Your raven eyes
Lay bare my lies
And swallowed my heart whole
What chance had I
When you passed by
My heart and breathe you stole

It never felt quite right...
Yet never really wrong
Pretending you're alright,
When you know you don't belong
All at once the Demon
Masquerading as a God
Perfectly imperfect
Magnificently flawed
The quiet desperation
Sweet silent isolation
Now all that I can feel...my own violent soul's vibration
That sordid celebration
That terrible temptation
The shattering of tender hearts...My downfall's orchestration
The final walk through paradise
The waterfall of tears
The bastion of loneliness
The sum of all our fears
The tiger crouched behind you
The bomb that's ticking down
The iron ball inside your throat
You choke on as you drown
The dusty corpse of yesterday
Crumbling to a pile
I think I'll sit here all alone
Just breathing for a while
