The Nature of things.

I threw a stone
into still waters,
ripples circled wide,
emotions within
ironically came
to the surface;
awakening
aching heart,
blue jay squawked,
perched in tall pine;
It's the nature of things.
I thought I heard
someone say;
  " keep going,
     it's only around
                the bend."

Resistance

Resistance 

Resistance brings anxiety. 

Anxiety brings confusion.

Insidious it seems,

In my head I realize;

I am creating this tormoil;
I'm my own keeper,
I have the keys;
To set myself free
The battle in my head,
It makes no sense to me;
I'm at war with myself,
         Confusing.
   

Note to self Mel; just breath.

you learn.

After awhile
you learn
the subtle difference
between holding a hand
and chaining a soul;
you learn company
doesn't mean security,
kisses are not contracts,
and presents are not promises;
you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up, eyes ahead;
with the grace of an adult
not the grief of a child;
you learn to build your roads today,
because tomorrows ground is too uncertain,
plans and futures have ways of falling down in mid flight;
after awhile you learn
that even sunshine burns if you get too much;
So you plant your own garden,
decorate your own soul;
you stop waiting
for someone to bring you flowers,
you grow your own;
you learn that you can endure,
you do have worth;
and you learn,
to keep learning;
and Just be.

soul.

Truth does not lie.

Cracked open
irreparable
exposed
emotions
spilled out
hidden for so long
now for all to see
darkness took over
I miss the light
the sky is clearing beautifully;
my destiny is determined;
by simple truth's;
I know self deception;
as in how I have been decieved;
it's all the same;
heart ache lies,
comets fly;

dreams say goodbye;

energy doesn't die;
it can only change.
I only need to see truth;
it's very simplistic;
I'm gonna let it just be.

HOPE...

I think your summer...

you warm my soul...
