The green is there
I can feel it
struggling
hoping

White healing
covers the wounds
of sun
and bike tracks

Fertile soil remains
aching for replenishment
Waiting
Patient

Growing loosely
free of pain
absorbed by trust
exponent faith

Dangling timbers
silent of fear
whispered solitude
reluctant tears

Asperous memories
unbound by the soul
reward awaits
unrestricted

A familiar emptiness
washes over me

Pain smiles at me
and laughs at my tears

Stillness brings no comfort
I shiver

Some things you dream about
are not meant to be

Why settle for a dream?
Embrace reality

Life is beautiful
beyond the pain
beyond the sorrow
beyond the rain

Take my hand
I’ll lead the way
to reveal a glimpse
of the morrow’s day

Lost is a place
full of transient fear
move a little closer
the truth in your ear

It’s up to you
to make it so
your soul is screaming
to let it go

But fear pulls you back
and covers your eyes
the beauty is hidden
the pain only lies
 

Following a path
guided by longing
tripping on bruises
and wonder lust

Something so fierce
drives me forward
into the deep
of misplaced hope

Hearing the voice
full of surprise
listening intently
with passionate eyes

Some dreams live
so faith remains
some dreams die
to lighten the load

If onlys are torture
demons entangled
releasing emotion
to fuel up again 

I will not fall back
helpless in my heart
I’ll shake the fear of nothing
and wait without a thought

Promises made to self
to leave the pain behind
and enjoy the sudden thrill
of laughter and warm times

No assumptions required
nor created in my heart
face the day with brightness
knowing I’m alright

If time calls sweetly
and the message clear
I’ll sing a new song
through joyous tears

The calm of morning greets me
an emptiness takes hold
your arms replaced by words
and gifts you left behind

Sorrow not for knowing
the sacred moments held
of growth and delicious comfort
and peaceful souls entwined

Time is not the master
a spec is deeper still
than years of painful longing
to experience the thrill

Hope is deep within me
for healing and for peace
for reaching love of self
and accepting someone else

Fear not brave soul
you’re perfect as you are
love will find a path
and play a song for you

The gift of you was plentiful
nothing can replace
thank you for the moments
shadows cannot erase

Telling the truth to myself
seeing the sun shine again
feeling a sense of meaning
within the communion

Washing the soul with light
feeding the powerful beast
finding comfort in hope
and dreams of his hand in mine

Looking forward, never back
except to examine the path
absorbing myself in the future
releasing the pain of the past

Surely life is my creation
my thoughts build a castle of stone
safe inside I slumber
not feeling the sting of the cold

Rain may come and flood me
but sun will surely shine
leaving me only refreshed
a speck in the absense of time

Imagined or real
it’s the same to the soul
purpose carried by dreams
to free the ego of shame

Screaming wildly at the night
Silently my voice ripples
Only the soul feels my pain
Only the darkness sees me

Lost hunting, wondering
Prey falls before me
Lapping up the hope
Giving way to hunger

Yesterday tickles the old soul
Replaying dreams forgotten 
Lives lived a thousand times
To harvest this moment
