It was only through loving you that I learnt to love myself.
It was only through giving all that I had that I learnt to take in return.
It was only by accepting what you had to give that I learnt to say thank you.
It was only.
And it still is.
It is still.
You.
Connecting to myself
Connecting to me
Walking into the future
Walking from here
My heart is still
Beating hope
And I know
I know
The tides will turn
Everything I wished for
My hopes, desires, my dreams
Will caress me tenderly
And lovingly
Kiss my face
I moved from the world
Into my heart
And felt the love
I needed to feel
An untapped source
Of wealth and joy
A warm inviting
Winter’s flame
And as I started
To thaw and feel
I knew I’d never
Want again
Your absence eases my heart
To accept your painful dismissal
We reunite in my dreams
Joyful reunion until the night vanishes
Along with your ghost
Always keep humble
Always keep low
This is the year
I’ll never let go
Of the person I am
The person to be
The soul inside
Joyfully me
I will not obsess
Will not wait for you to say yes
Will live my life
Without a care
Knowing what will be will be
Finding the peace inside of me
Turbulence
Takes the calm
Shakes up what used to be
Like a whirlwind whirling
It’s way through the
World
And produces a new
Way of being:
What was is no more
And what is was never before
If there were feelings
There would be words
With numbing acceptance
For that which I cannot change –
I find that I have none
Seeking validation
From sources outside myself
I look around, incomplete
Spending the day alone
And all I see when I
Take the time are
Faces just like
Mine
