Majestic

All it takes is a soft breeze
And the dance begins
Branches intermingled
Reaching out...swaying to a single tune
Heard only to those engaged in the dance
A beautiful love song

Shadows

Intricately weaved
One strand at a time
So completely that its
No longer understood
Which is which
Blended...over and over
Until only the shadow
Of what was once
A seperate strand
Emerges.

Live

To live and die
Having gone un-noticed
Is surely
The saddest tragedy.

The River

Gliding gently down the river
Taking in each moment
Appreciating the beauty
That can only be seen
Off the beaten path.
Peace and comfort
Welcome me here
With open arms.

Trees

Twisting branches
Reaching out
Towering tall
Sheltering those
That seek
It's refuge.

A New Day

It’s a new day.
Full of possibilities...and new chances…
The slate has been wiped clean.
A canvas ready to be painted…
Ready to be filled with the bright, radiant colors of life…
This day can be filled with laughter...
The kind that is genuine and full of life...
This day can be spent with the knowledge...
That this~is a day of purpose...
Orchestrated and destined…long before this day ever drew near.
This day holds hope in its hand.
Hope for a better appreciation of time.
Time that should never be taken for granted.
Life lived with purpose is the goal...
Love given and love received...
Unconditionally~woven throughout this day.
No longer held back with yesterday’s decisions or worries...
Today is the day of new beginnings....
Not to be spent with over-analyzing or dissecting motives...
But to~just~be~lived.
So live this day to the fullest....
No regrets....
Carpe diem...
Seize the day.

Just The Ramblings Of A Writer

I know what its like to...hold on...
When all else fails...
To hold to that very thing that...sustains you...
That keeps you grounded and centered...
During those times of heartache...and pain...
I have clung to even the most minute ounce of hope.
I have held out for the impossible...
I have sought after the incredible...
I have trusted in truth...
I know what its like to...let go...
To just let be...what shall be...
To stop struggling within...with insecurities...
With doubt...with indecision...
To just lay down all the hurts...
All the pain...all the dreams...
I know what it's like to question...
My very purpose...my reason for being...
So many..."Why me" moments...
Are now behind me...gone...
From even those...lessons are learned.
I heard someone say once...
That its the creative...artistic folks...in life...
That seem to struggle the most.
I almost laughed...not sure what the actual stats are on that study...
Just know that we all have our fair share.
Life at times...has a way of handing out some crappy cards.
But I also know what it is to be thankful...
For a heritage that is beyond measure...
For a family that loves without question...
For friendships that are beyond words...
For experiences and opportunities that have made me...me.
Some amazing...some not so kind...and some beyond description...
For the simple pleasures in life...
For heart-felt moments...
For words shared...
But most importantly...
For the...unspoken.
