#guiding
A trusted advisor,
A friend,
Someone you can rely on,
Through thick and thin.
Someone to hold out,
A guiding hand,
Someone to cheer you on,
When you reach the end.
There’s something special,
Knowing someone believes in me,
Despite everything.
It gives me hope,
That perhaps one day,
I’ll become something!
All because of a few words said,
From a mentor, a trusted friend.

In the moonlight's gentle glow,
We met for reasons we may not know.
A blessing wrapped in silver light,
Or a lesson learned in the quiet night.
Each moment shared, a guiding star,
Illuminating who we truly are.
In shadows deep or bright embrace,
Our paths entwined, a sacred space.

My lighthouse in storms
And times of life is you.
My lighthouse is my hope,
When things feel they may fall through.
My lighthouse guidance has helped, me endure the unthinkable
Helps me through times I need, healing and making sacrifices whenever able.
My lighthouse is such a guiding force,
Guiding me toward the correct turns, in the road to follow love’s course.
My lighthouse is stability, helping to steady me in its hold,
Never letting me go, a safe haven for me to live like gold.
My lighthouse guides me at night in my dreams,
Helping me follow all aspirations, always on my team.
My lighthouse is the light in my vision,
Helping to show clarity in all that’s been.
My lighthouse is my security always,
Keeping me safe and under a watchful light, in any unknown doorway.
My lighthouse stays ever steady in its love;
I’m always looking for its guiding light above.

I trust
You alone God
Than my understanding
I hear your voice wherever
I go
You are the only guiding source
One can depend upon
You set my course
Always

I've known her for many years, I have made her laugh, and wiped,
Oh so many tears, from her dreams, that disappeared.
She always comes to me when she's down, because I've never,
Played her love, like all of those other men in town,
That give her the run around.
She never has stayed long with me, her safe place, with everything,
She wants, all of her needs, her eyes, never seem to see.
She always goes back to the ranch, finds another tree,
Hangs on from a broken branch, she might see tomorrow, by chance.
Only when the branch starts to break, she'll give me a call,
Before it's to late, I'm the only one who ever catches her falls,
And makes her feel so tall.
She always feel's safe, when she's with me, my spirit inside,
Makes hers feel free, that's what she craves, and needs, is the,
Feeling of her spirit, to be free...

A BIG word of Thanks,
for all what U have Done.
U have been an Inspiration,
to Me and Everyone.
U have taught Me,
lessons over the Years.
Those Lessons I will hold,
for the rest of My Years.
U mean a lot....to those,
who are Suffering.
With all your Prayers,
they show signs of Recovering.
U are My Guiding Light,
for the Battles I've Won.
U are the Light that shines,
like the Morning Sun.

Is this the Subject, of the story , The way, it is explained to you,
Those, just playing their part,
Or you really, just that board,
Your life, without a clue.
Is it all about competition,
Bragging rights, about what you do,
You will never get ahead,
When you only follow, their rules.
Those voices in your mind,
Your inspirations, for life, this time,
At different moments, in this journey,
They come to life, to keep you in line.

Throw me to sea
A message in a bottle
See where I wash up
I was born to be free
Spirit raised by coyotes
I spend my nights howling at the moon
I will come back here one day
For now my roots are short so I plant myself wherever the wind carries me
Bloom in any soil
My heart guiding the way

Maybe I am following a light,
A junction from where I took right
Some days I'm just chasing a high,
Is it just some words arranged tight
Or is it chastising yourself through the night?
For when the sun is shining bright,
I love taking my emotions for a flight.
I'm not hunting for any limelight,
Nor do I have any foresight.
I'm just driving through the misery and the plight,
Knowing I will always stop at a red light
Like a deer in the headlights
I'm trying to be my self-guiding light,
Try as I might.

Looking across the purple plain
Swallowing scents of violets
They fill my soul, lift my brain
My grandfather’s smile takes my hand
Leading me into an unknown land
Fear drips away like poison from a vein
I can breathe in the future possibilities
He is showing me. I can live again
Mistakes are like a pointed stick
You can’t escape as they **** and *****
You tell yourself that school is out
Hard to relearn a new life skill
Fighting against the smothering doubt
But my grandfather is my steadfast critic
My moral compass, my super heroic
His calming tone speaks quiet and clear
Don’t dwell on the past, its gone and done
The future awaits, so be brave, don’t fear
He died on a Tuesday, the sky was a heavy grey
My tears never dried, so it rains each day
But I can still smell the purple of the violets,
His garden was filled with the delicate blooms
Times spent talking, watching golden dusted sunsets
And if I could choose the scent of heaven and floral plume
Then it will be clouds of purple and a violet perfume

You say I add colors to your days dull
But what is a few particles of color in your waves of rainbow
What is my ray of light lost in your starglow
Your radiance kisses my nights gold
The guiding compass I will always follow

A gentle voice to cut through nascent wails
A tender hug to quiet and to love
A guiding hand to give a needed shove

don't stop believing
in what you can do
don't stop believing
cause belief is in you
believe with all of your heart
that's the kind of affirmation
so good of start
believe in your capabilities
for they are a valuable
set of utilities
let belief be
your guiding star
as this road
of travel
will take
you far
life without believing
isn't a life
believe in a strength
of fife
don't stop believing
in what you can do
don't stop believing
cause belief is in you

I beseech thee to hold up the
silvern lantern
Be thy guiding light and
walk with me into

You're beautiful.
I know it,
But you scowl at such an audacious remark,
How can you see yourself so ill-favored?
The way your face lights up as I approach your stunning features,
Perhaps the world is blind and I am the only one whom sees this unworldly phenomenon,
You still disagree with me, no words, a shake of the head,
I will capture this verdict,
I promise,
Your beauty is complexive,
One glance and the camera in my mind grasps every pixel of your flower,
You duck and cover at the sight of a lense,
Photo albums make your heart vanish,
But why?
You're gorgeous.
I know it,
You don't trust my honesty,
But, you see, I do not intend on settling for a loss, a tie is still a loss,
Those conditioned strands of silk compliment your sky blue eyes, so bright to a squint,
You look away from admirerers,
You isolate yourself from face,
Why?
You're a rose.
I know it,
But why can't you see what I see?
Please,
Take my outstretched hand,
Don't hide from marble puddles,
Don't scratch or splash away your reflection,
You frown at the sight of a passerby, taking in the world,
But again I ask,
Why?
You're Monroe.
I know it,
You actually consider believing it,
Trust me,
These words write for a wild purpose,
You give me reason to touch graphite to this linear plane,
Lined with veins for you,
Don't be nervous,
Look here,
Into my eyes,
Look deep into the black abyss that holds space for you,
Only you,
You're beautiful.
I know it,
No more questions, your heinous?
I smile,
You blush.

I wonder what it takes to go full circle
and find my way back home to You?
Although I might be as slow as a turtle
Your love will guide me when I am true.
I’ll finish up then as I began being a child of Yours
having knocked on so many of life’s secret doors.
But even though I have yet to find all the right answers
at this stage of my life there have been some advances.
My feelings towards You now seem to have changed
but this shouldn’t be a reason for us to feel estranged.
Love’s the universal magnet that draws everything close together
we shouldn’t mind too much if we pass through stormy weather.
In a world of constant change there are many upheavals
but love often does get stronger when there’s a retrieval.
It’s something of a realisation by which we come to know
that as love completes a full circle perfection it will show.
How long will it take to go full circle
to find my way back home with You?
It seems I'm just as slow as a turtle
But is Love guiding me and am I true?

Troubleshooter she is,
How convenient it was,
And now I end my M.Tech,
No one else could help,
Kindest person she is.
Yes you were strict,
Oh and so cool too,
Understanding me.
Slowly but surely,
Under this ceiling,
Mam you helped me,
And like a real sister,
Not a doubt here.
Did your job require you to?
I do not think so, madam.
Did you help me as you could?
I think you helped a kid brother.

Love will always guide her
To all the wrong places
But with perfect timing
It will lead her through darkness
And the deepest of pains
But she will never stop putting
One foot in front of the other
And she will eventually learn
How to speak the language of her heart
For it has been crying out to her
Too loud to hear all else
