Life


Sitting quietly,
Thoughts and memories.....
The past
Simply bringing me
To this place.
I am the out working of relationships,
Moulded by acquaintances
Family, friends
And lovers.
We have looked
Deeply, 
into each other's eyes,
Plumbing the depths of our frail hearts.
For some,
We are still walking together 
And yet others,
So sadly
drifting apart.
Embracing,
Letting go,
Running to,
Walking away,
Laughter,
Tears,
Songs,
Silence
We are shaped by all that has
Gone before,
Those precious moments
And the regrettable. 
Yet,
Tomorrow will continue
To be defined
By the love chosen,
The honesty given
And the constant choices
To remain transparent.

Arriving


Footsteps,
So often trod
Through the mists of day
Or the dark of night.
Yet,
So often,
I find myself amazed
And thankful,
That my destination
Has found me.

The confusion of being


The confusion of being,
Living...
Sometimes the mirror
Is more honest
Than memory.
Let integrity be more
Than a concept,
And love
Deeper 
Than a word.
Frail footsteps
Into the future,
We all rest
Safe,
In the arms
That the words of our closest
And dearest
Wrap around us.

Memories


Sitting
With a lifetime of memories. 
Some... They warm me,
Some chill me to the core
Some bring a smile
And many bring tears. 
Yet,
As I remember
I am comforted,
All these moments,
They are my tutors,
I seek to look deeply
Without justifications
Excuses or blame
And grow.

Hold and be held.


Stay close to the ones you love,
Endure the winters,
Celebrate the summers,
Sing on the mountain peaks,
Hold each other in the deserts,
Love passionately,
Love beyond feelings,
Emotions
And desire.
Don't turn away,
Look deep into
Each other's heart,
Let anger be diluted
By listening,
Compassionately,
Patiently,
Until your words
Can once again
be filled with love
And commitment.
Let love blossom,
A perpetual spring,
An endless budding
And blooming.
