Outlook

Reset

As the water ripples,

you shed a layer

dropping the thoughts

of many a night.

A lightness starts

as breathing eases

and all is restored

with water’s kind healing.

Truth

That yes was yesterday

for the new dawn brings

a self that wakes anew

where something has shifted,

unnoticeable to the eye

but rooted deep within,

brimming with questions

rising up and through.

An idea

One day you see a side

that you never knew existed

and the vision shifts a little,

just very slightly altered,

but just enough to wonder

what else did you assume?

For you only moulded me

on what you wanted to see.

Disconnect

Yet, here we stand

with rules on rules

of how to love

and be loved.

Imposing limits

on that which is limitless.

As we confuse

what should be free,

turning a gift so true

into something

so confined.

You

All that you are

is an addition,

a simple bonus

that’s nowhere

near simple.

Good Night

Who are you to know

the insides of me?

Why should you see

the thoughts that filter through?

You’re nothing but

a passing moment.

Already prepared

with a goodbye speech,

how the night was fun,

but now the sun has risen.

Essence

To the moon,
to the stars,
to the sun,
to the earth.

We feel, we fight.
We love, we hurt.
We heal, we learn.

We make a mark,
unique to the soul.
Blessing those we touch,
with our laughter and our life.

Rising with our hopes,
falling with our demons,
believing with our faith,
embracing all we can.

With laughter, with smiles,
we say goodbye,
with memories made well,
and legacies that live on.
