Except Everything..

For one moment you have peace 

All is okay in the world 

until it isn't 

And in that instant we panic

Run - give up..

Hope so easily lost 

We forget the trenches we've climbed out of 

The mountains we've scaled 

The pain we've endured 

The strength that we discovered within through the love that carries us 

Don't fear the changes 

They will come 

Let it grow you - inspire you - push you move you and 

As the wind blows you here&there 

loosen your grip 

Listen to the whispers of life as it whirls you about 

There is a gentleness to be found in chaos 

The only constant in life is 

Nothing really changes

except everything

Nomadic Heart

The chill of your heart seeps through to my bones leaving me frigid 

My heart is not wooden 

I will not die while I'm living 

I reach out craving the feeling  of you 

My hand falls through the empty dead space 

dread fills my heart

Stop holding on so tight to hate 

Just let yourself be held 

aren't you tired of running..

my arms can hold you still

fill you with meaning 

It's the simple things that

Create the good things 

let my warmth thaw the frost surrounding you and 

my love will wrap around your heart

Set those vagabond feet still

and wandering will be no more..

Above All Else

Revenge..

What is its' purpose

so aggressive in its' silence

Poisoning us to the core 

So loud in its' destructive ways

Mutilating souls from the inside out..

Silently dulling our senses 

Until we no longer see 

We no longer hear 

We no longer feel 

We are no longer real

giving us hearts of steel.

Fight against it.. 

Resist

Don't say you can't 

But of course you can 

you will find a way out

walk through it until you own it 

find the freedom of being present here&now

And not looking behind or to be ahead 

It's now that counts.. The rest is gone or not quite here

love the simple of the moment

That is what makes life so grand.. the complex simple 

The ugly beautiful - the pain bearable..

Bitter should never take root in your beautiful heart 

let life explode within it..
