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. We may have endured the unthinkable And still maintained an air of quiet composure Knowing that to speak of our layers ofContinue reading “The Unleashing”

Music Renewed

For so long, there was no music left in me, A score without the rise and fall of notes Playing a melody of weighted silence In a dusty theater devoid of audience. 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”

Drawn Back

I am always glancing behind Like an impulse, like a safety check. Do I have the strength to keep moving? Am I prepared to let go? Making sure my intuition reinforces What my mindless autopilot already knows, That whenever I attempt to lunge forward I am consistently propelled back As if flung by an invisibleContinue reading “Drawn Back”

The Reality of the Stars

There are moments when we are transfixed Pulled into a memory as if stolen from the present The way we feel when we gaze up at an evening star Mesmerized, awed, momentarily hopeful, and then… Fettered back down to the heaviness of the present Where the air is weighted, where life has broken our spiritsContinue reading “The Reality of the Stars”

Lost & Found

Lost is where we we eventually find ourselves Not from our external, but from our internal compass When the noise of opinion and expectation silences And the distraction of responsibilities no longer pulls, Is when we begin to listen to what we need, what we know Discovering the inner map leading to our breakthroughs. LostContinue reading “Lost & Found”
