our lives are not dependent on chance
they are due to prior circumstance
and each day a choice is presented
to surrender, to falter
or to rise up, to conquer
the second requires intention
and purpose by extension
it requires being mindful
and getting in the flow
like the waxing crescent moon,
we must continuously yearn to grow
soon we will decide
why we are here
to live a life of passion?
to live a life of fear?
each day is a chance
to change our circumstance
may we all act now
ilekso
you are safe here.

he said i looked at him
like he was my only one
i looked at him
like he was someone
maybe no one has before -
i’ve seen leaves grow
from bare bones
as the mind reawakens
i don’t feel so alone
the days are longer
flowers bloom
bending towards the light
no longer entombed
the sun, it always shines
even with the clouds
do not underestimate the daylight
all that you are is allowed -
yellows and golds
were never my favorite
my world
it was silver and gray
and black
now there is more light
and yellows dance around me
they pick me up
when i am sad
though those shades
linger on rainy days
it is gold that is found
at the end of a rainbow
when the clouds shy away -
again i fall
for the image
the mind creates
for the friend
the heart relates
for the stranger
the soul mistakes
i fall -
caught up in his waves
an ocean, keeping me sane
he makes me want to save myself from drowning
he makes me want to swim
and when i choose to sink
it will be into every part of him
