If I could see


If I could just stop
Stop and look back,
At all those times, that have gone by
At all those times that I have laughed
Laughed wholeheartedly without a care in the world
And at the times that I have cried
Cried like it was the end of everything.
Gone back to a time,without facade
Without pretense, without the shackles of propriety
If I could savour every second, like it was the last
If I could prolong each happy moment a little longer
And relive the sadder ones, for they made me stronger.
If I could go back, and undo all my regrets.
But alas! Each moment has gone by like a grain of sand falling unwillingly through an hour glass.
If only, I could peek into the future
Peek through the looking glass of life
If only I could know
Know for certain,that my dreams would come true
Know that I would be able to hold onto my loved ones, until I was ready
Ready to let them go.
If only I could know
That I would be, everything that I want for me.
If I could look beyond my time
And know that I'd left a legacy
If only I could see,
Then I could be.
Be patient, in the uncertainity of today
Be calm and refrain from forever looking to the horizon.
Be enduring, as the tides of time wax and wane through the journey that is life...
If only, I could see.

    Time, that's the essence of life.
    Strengthened by the past looking forward and moving on is the choice.

The High Road

Take the high road, they said Hold your peace and be the "bigger man". Swallow your pride, your hurt and what you know is right. let them go their way, they said. Hold your tongue, they said be the calm in the storm don't let them get the better of you, don't stoop keep your head held high they said. weather the storm, they said he sees it all they said hold your peace and keep your grace life comes a full circle, they said. when others live by "at least", you must live by "my best" , they said. when others cursed and shirked, you must embrace it and bless and thank the lord, they said. The high road is lonely, cruel and harsh up on a pedestal, expectation abound the path less taken for sure. the divine light is at the end they said. but honestly, can't even see it any more.

Doubt

  H ave you ever had this feeling in your heart A feeling there was something missing, M issing a part A feeling in your soul T hat you weren't quite so whole. F eel so heavy Bursting at the sea ms S till so empty there's nothing left to give H ave you ever had that feeling L ike you're not quite there I n a room full of people But the noise disappears Inside you that one voice is so loud But you aren't quite sure what it's going on about. Tossing and turning in my bed So fixated yet unaware Thoughts abundant So unclear Within me, every day everywhere.

Family away from home

For my very few but truly precious friends...... You've known me As I was and as I wanted to be My hopes, my dreams All of my fond memories You were my family away from home My brother, my sister, my pillar Countless laughs we have shared And tears we have spent All our fears we shared And all those plans we had and all those that were undone. And although we don't talk every day Every hour any more. And you are no longer the first person I turn to When I am scared or happy or sad. You are always there whenever I really need to count on someone You are there when I need to be grounded You are still there in all my memories In the way I was and the way I want to be.
