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
inspiration
.renew.
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
.roses.
take a moment
and clear your mind
carefully carve out the thorns
growing down your spine
gracefully gather the roses
blooming among your ribs
and remember
everything is fine
everything lives
.stone.
i could tell that he wanted to mold me
but he didn’t seem to know
that i was less like clay
and more like stone
see it’s not that i am hard
or that i am cold
but i know who i am
i won’t just do as i’m told
.high.
balloons and string
that’s what you brought to me
you set them on the table and you said
where shall we tie all of these
i should have known
you would not wait for a reply
as you tied them to my soul
and to my mind
suddenly
as i looked around
i found that my feet no longer
touched the ground
