Letting go...


Uncertainty looms,

yet, ne'er certain are we

when we merely hold on

to what we can see.


Moving on,  letting go,

having faith, with naught to show,

nothing to prove the path we pursue

will lead to a life that is happy and true,

 

treading our course, on a tightrope we walk

but with each step we walk the talk.

We're dreamers and builders, we see what might be.

Our words become actions, the way to be free.

 

 And if the gain that we finally win

is to simply have peace and quiet within, 

can we be honest and make the call,

be willing to say, 'it was worth it all'?

 

Uncertainty looms,

yet, ne'er certain are we

when we merely hold on

to what we can see.

 

The path that has become quite dear

lies before us now so clear:

Letting go, through fear and pain

will ultimately be our gain.

Ungrateful

 Ungrateful I have been

It's a crime and a sin.

 

While I was happy, having fun,

running free in the sun,

I never did stop and see

I was blessed just to be,

 

to have my health and all my days,

enjoy the warmth of sunshine's rays.


Now I struggle to get out.

Feeling pain, I want to shout!

Where is the sun? Where is my health?

I took for granted my true wealth.


But should it e'er return to me,

oh, how grateful I will be!

One Small Star

One small star,
the tiniest spark,
through the deepest black
gleams in the dark

just enough to let me breathe
to give me hope and rest at ease.

 Then, gradually,
my fading fear
reveals more stars
start to appear.

And hope,
though often comes with light
even now
is shining bright.

 



Honesty

Honesty...

to be true to myself.

 

Glimpses of joy:

barefoot, earth, sun,

trees, ocean, dance,

breath, creation, inspiration,

 connection...

myself, my loved ones, the earth

 

understanding... 

 truth becomes reality through choice

 

Loss of honesty

is loss of connection

is loss of self.

Just a little...


Just a little patch of blue
In the blanket clouds of grey,
Just a little silver lining
Gives me strength to face the day.

Just a little bit of hope
And the faith to carry on,
Just a little glimpse of light
And I feel I’m getting strong.

Just a little bit of laughter
And I feel my soul can breathe,
Just a little bit of courage
And I’ll face my day with ease.
