Kite

I thought I was lost forever in the atmosphere When a tree caught me and told me I wasn't too far gone It held me in its branches and kept me close to the ground It said that I needed to stay   When I tore and broke, it kept me It held me through …

Passion

Passion is reaction Can a fire burn with nothing to fuel it?   It is a response An answer to a calling A result of life A flame struck by a match between this world and our very spirits   It is permission To allow something to penetrate your being To take hold of your …

Convalescence

Slowly, slowly One step at a time You haven't been on your feet for quite a while   Calm and steady Give yourself a break Your heart wants to run but you're barely awake   You will triumph I know that you will But just take it easy, you're delicate still   Clock is ticking …

Lake of Dreams

  Watch it shimmer under the lights of the evening So still yet so alive Holding the dreams of the universe Gleaming in the darkness of night A pool of wonder A resting place Where drops of magic come to be

Golden

You can bend me and break me But I will still be gold You can put me through fire I will melt But I will still be gold You can look at me and give me a price But I will outlive it Because gold is precious on its own And I am happy to …

The Sign

"Nothing will ever be perfect," it read.   Right then she started to understand the real, difficult, and completely uncompromised beauty of this world. The warmth from the fire that sparked her spirit broke her mind free from its cold cage of perpetual calculation. Everything she thought she had known and ever wanted melted away …

From the extreme perspective of a starry-eyed dreamer

  Dreams don’t die; people do.  The moment you develop a dream, you birth an idea; you paint for yourself a picture of what could be. But ideas aren’t like people, see. Ideas exist in the realm of the abstract. The moment they come to be, they just are, and there is no end to …

Pill of Perfection

Pill of perfection, make me brave make me able and happy and strong take me past my grief and make me whole again piece me back together make me live Pill of perfection, make me calm put me to sleep in a minute take from me the burden of life and sooner or later life …

It Speaks

Hands pick you up only to let you fall Eyes glare at you in disapproval, telling you you don't belong Tongues cut through your self-worth until you're left with nothing but the little paper snowflake of your security-- Holes and all Oh, what a life you live   You miserable little stone in the dirt …
