Vulnerable....

Exposed. Open. Casting shadows on the psyche of emotion.
The place of vulnerability. The need to matter to someone, to something, beyond self.

The place of sharing, the place of caring. Letting go and letting be.
Where, when, why. The light is shining, exposing the tender wound of a healing heart.

Chaos; thoughts churned like velvet butter. The flutter of awakening.
Be still, be quiet. Shhh…it will be alright. Filled with yearning, filled with hope.

Love, trust, caring, sharing…all or nothing. Be the center, be the quiet.
Kneel before the pyre of unforgotten dreams; their essence wafting toward heaven in sweet ambrosia.

Watching, hoping, praying, yearning…waiting.

Space Between

There is a space between the tears that fall down my face
Filled with the absence of your heart next to mine
Filled with the sorrow of the longing of your touch
Filled with the ghost of the whispers we once shared

There is space between your arms enfolding me
Trying to find our way home from the darkness
Trying to grasp what once was always there
Trying to lessen the pain of dissolution

There is a space between the beats of my heart
The white space of memory where new thoughts can grow
The white space of yearning for the love that encompasses
The white space of life moving on

There is a space between the light and the dark
A place where we hide and a place where we grow
A place where we weep and a place where we learn
A place where we yearn and a place where we run

There is a space

Death

The cycle of life revolves ever about us.
There is no beginning.
There is no end.
There is only the here and the now.
The knowing and the loving.
Honor the moment.
Honor the passing of the friend, the love, the sharing, the caring.
Relinquish the passing of the lover, never to say good-bye, but letting go for now.
Let go of the guilt, the anger, the sadness.
The memory lives forever.
Wrap yourself in the tears of letting go.
Lose yourself in the laughter of remembering.
Be at peace for there is no more pain, no more anguish…only eternity.

Embrace the cycle and hold tight to the love that remains...
Forever.

Dark Vision

The vision runs deep, the vision is the truth in the dark.
Travel the darkest paths to find the depth of the soul.
Seek the darkest places to find the light that is.

Find beauty in all things. See what is not there,
Go beyond the surface, diving ever deeper into the despair.
There is only one way to the other side and that is through it.

Cross the abyss where madness reigns.
Feel with your heart. See with your emotions.
Close your eyes so the true vision will manifest.

Travel the dark and you will find light.
Seek the dark and you will find answers.
Revel inside and you will find truth.

If you are brave enough to look, you will see, you will feel, you will be free.

Open

Open your heart, let me in
I am your sacred song, you are my freedom and light

Open your mind, listen to your heart
I am the freedom you seek, you are the light in the dark

Open your eyes, feel your vision
I am your flight, soaring on the winds of fate.

Open your hand, touch my soul
I am the passion you seek, in the window of time.
