A Lotus Rises

The fatigue
Is ever lasting.
I thought the same about darkness,
Until then came light.

I have placed myself
Along elements
Earth, air, water, fire.
Back to the roots,
Feel grounded.
Back to the connection
Feel one. All is one.

And when your heart is racing
Just close your eyes and send
A trusting thought
Into the universe.

Light a candle and swim,
Keep your gaze on the flame.

It dances and wakes up the dark,
Comforts, and warms your aching bones.
Sit and stay a while,
Breathe and kiss your solid wounds.

Subterranean

Scratching it's way out.

Your beauty is your charm.

One finger to touch,

Hits the snooze for the alarm.

Pushing through a capsule,

A seed that wants the sky.

I see it both ways, now.

And underground will always

Be our hiding place.

The heat on the surface 

Is the reminder of the sun.

Upside Down

When the sky is overcast,
It whispers to the world.

Soul inflicted pain, must mask the sunlight.

But in the wake of consciousness
Notice, I am the only one peering through the clouds.
Trying to find some starlight.

The moon to point out every night.

And you dont even do a double take at what is above.

I want to belong up there.

Swerve

Surging through my veins, I run.
Trapped beneath your wrath.

The candle light has begun to dim,
I melt in darkness.

And become my own.

Under covers.
Alone, eternally.

Your sand will turn to stone.

The Lonely Roots

It was a place,
Where our roots mingled.

Like oak trees overgrown,
with benches in a shaded park.

Petals of our budded flowers,
Tracing circles on the pavement
Pushed by wind..

You're roots have
Started to dissolve.

I'll take up this place
On my own.

With the space you have left empty
For the sun to shine...

Detached in Imagination

Rolling waves, and staggering seas.
Wind being inhaled and exhaled out of me.
Fire twisting, igniting burning light.

Stars and planets to look up to through the night.

Thoughts in broken pieces and loss of memory or explanation.

All I feel is a pang. A sting. A burn. That continues to pulse through my entire being.

Taken up by beating sorrows captured in my heart.
Unwilling to let go and be released through my brittle veins.

A pen in my hand can't move, a thought in my mind can't breathe.
An eye in the dark cannot see.

Demand to be shot through a forest and lose your way home.
Contained with useful actions and communication.
So you won't have to think or learn
Just how to bear
everything you want ignored.

Im outside of my body, detached from the world.
And I am incapable of giving you an answer to anything of what it is in the world that is certain.
Or what is real.

The whistle of the wind, being wind.
I wish it were a friend.
That could tell me just what I am.

Burnt Out

The frost kicks in, and kills the heat.
Every ability starts to feel dysfunctional.
Even the ability to breathe.

Everything real starts to feel like a lie, and I wonder if it's me included.

Every feeling starts to feel like nothing.

And nothing is alive anymore.
I say sometimes that I wish I could stop existing.
Stop sleeping.
Stop.

Battling the same situation, the same questions in unending circles
takes the power out of you.

And like a light, I have burnt out.

Endless Dreams In A Sun lit World

Life is full of not only beauty but of people and places. Families and friends. Laughter and happiness. Loneliness and sadness. Cultures and celebrations. Mountains and oceans. Rainfalls and sunshine. Someone needs help somewhere. Anyone could help someone anywhere. Use your spark. Never stop dreaming, and dream from your heart. No matter what someone thinks or says. Chase after whatever is screaming inside of you. Life is too short and there is never a right time. So start running now. Take pictures, learn lessons, share yourself. Find yourself. Love yourself. And finally, love others. Love someone. Let yourself go completely. Glare into sunsets, watch the sunrise. Explore the entire world. Whatever you are waiting for, is waiting for you. So, don't wait, take a breath and go. Let go. Live fully and do everything which holds your heart. Nothing is impossible only if you let it be. You have a soul full of sunlight, so let it shine in this world. And don't let anyone block it out. Light overcomes darkness. And you are golden. Filled with golden dreams.

The Saving Stars

Don't get lost,
Don't turn around.

The stars are here
to save you now.

Hold on to the light they shine,
I can see what's left in your eyes.

And I know you're going somewhere,
So don't let the dark take you away.

The night will kiss you with sweet dreams,
Letting you know that everything will be okay.

Alien

The sun is lit and in it's light
I am swallowed.
I forget where I am.
Absorbed in the beauty that is forgotten in the world.

You start to feel like an alien when you notice things people no longer see.

And sometimes I feel that I am not alive...

All this is just a dream.
