Peace is what is left on my last page. For there is no space left in me for anything else, No other intention than an offering of kindness, Knowing and understanding the human condition Aware of the rise and fall of chapters in our lives, Thankful, ever thankful, for the chance to be at all.Continue reading “Last Page”

Wave After Wave
Another song that spoke directly to my experience. This cut deep and healed at the same time. Keep moving through the waves, dear soul.
Pieces
There are pieces of my being That I will never be able to retrieve again. Lost in the aftermath of grief and despair Scattered across an empty, abandoned trail Glowing for the last time, like embers in the dark With one final flicker before their light runs out. I would give anything to gather upContinue reading “Pieces”
To Be Enchanted
This is the newest release by Sleeping at Last. If you’ve been following my blog for a time, you know this is my favorite musical artist. I think we need reminders sometimes that as painful as life can be, as downtrodden as we feel, in the dark hours before we actually begin feel again, hopeContinue reading “To Be Enchanted”
The Unleashing
In our growth, there is an unleashing Unexpected, from the depths of our personal vaults A release of emotions stored beneath years of forbearance Only accessible when we are truly heard and seen.

Now I hear it, the faintest hint of music, Like a breeze barely grazing the treetops Inviting me, pulling me toward life again.Continue reading “Music Renewed”
Fly With Me
Fly with me into the embrace of the sky, Let us escape the heaviness of mundane living Watching the world fade into pinpoints below us Ascending to heights far above society’s glare. Let me take your hand in mine, And while we are floating through cloud-streaked skies Let us listen softly to the inner pullContinue reading “Fly With Me”
I Will Move Through
I will move through the stagnant days When it feels as if I am wandering without destination Searching aimlessly for the next landmark Exhausted, aching, but determined. I will walk through the dark night of self-reflection Even when the moon is hiding its familiar face in the sky And I feel the reawakening of theContinue reading “I Will Move Through”
Reminiscing
I am nothing but thankful For your accompaniment along the miles When my feet could not longer find footing And my shoulders stooped beneath the weight Of a thousand perceived failures and mistakes When I could no longer take another step I must have unconsciously sent out a divine flare Because then you arrived, thenContinue reading “Reminiscing”
Three Words
There are 100 ways to say “I love you,” I said each one of them to you Except for those three words Never knowing if they would heal Or if they would ultimately harm. Funny how we say anything But what we truly want to say, Because there are certain words That are etched inContinue reading “Three Words”
