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

This Moment
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.

Imagine
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.

Love
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

Whispers
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.

Does holding on tighter hurt more than letting go?
I belong to everything ...and you're my everything...

Everything
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.

The Shore
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

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

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.

Here&Now
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.

On Love
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.

Her Song
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

The Dancer
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

Choking
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

Dreams
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

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

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

Missing Pieces
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

My Ghost
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

Right and Wrong
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

The Bus
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
