Tomorrow.

The grip of the future
Demands us to release
And sacrifice. 
The past..
A past that wishes to cling,
Clammy hands
Encircling our memories. 
Turning away,
Liberating
And freeing,
Requires courage,
Courage to rise above the pain,
And to embrace hope. 
There will be moments
Of excruciating silence,
The silence of now,
The silence of alone,
Yet,
Tomorrow is full of laughter
And songs.
It is a precious jewel,
To be treasured above
All things. 
Hold on to this promise,
It is surer
Than today.

One



It only takes one step,
To start a journey,
One decision
To begin tomorrow,
One horizon,
To set sail,
One hope,
To lift you heart.
One love
To liberate,
One melody
To entrance the heart.
Just one moment,
To hear the whisper
And a lifetime
To live and love.

I am

I am a man,
frail,
faulted,
freed.
grace defines my past,
my present,
my future.
hope transcends yesterday
and today,
drawing me upwards 
and onwards.
here am I,
just a few words
and a torrent
of thoughts.
we must all
hope together.
hope is not wishing,
it is
embracing.
