A Photograph of Time that You Lost

You think

that you can make that time up, 

and

make it alive

again.

Take the photographs

but 

ignore the moment

as it is

actually

happening.

The sad thing is

that

you never get it back.

You can have your photographs, 

and 

look at the people in their romantic, rose coloured glasses. 

Loss disguised as memories.

I hope 

someday

you learn to appreciate 

the moment-the gift,

and not just the photograph.

Liquid Space

Liquid Space

filling me up.

A Sea of Love,

satisfying my longing.

Swimming Around

in this liquid space,

I begin to feel loved,

to feel whole,

to feel fixed.

Liquid Space

Fulfill me in all my glory.

Show me to a New World

that I belong to.

Ambitious Heart

I am

 an ambitious heart. 

I want my dreams 

as much as my dreams want me.

Ambition is not a crime.

Wanting to nurture 

your own whole person 

is not a crime. 

I want a life 

that when I am 99,

that when I am a 100, 

I will be able to say, 

I HAVE LIVED. 

If I cannot say that, 

 I have already been dead

a long time.

My heart is ambitious 

for soul, 

for love, 

for peace, 

for the world, 

for people.

Your ambition is your nurturing. 

We need both. 

Exclusions need not apply.

The Waves of your Volcanic Fireworks

The essence of your volcano, 

burns away

all that you no longer need, 

purifying you 

for

 new lands,

new travels,

new adventures.

It won't burn you, 

unless you resist 

the new life, 

that it wants to give you.

The wind blows it all away,

let it give you fresh air to Breathe.

The ice, and frost, and rain cleanses you,

refreshing your shiny beauty.

The hurricanes and tornadoes bring you

back to you,

to your life. 

Standing in front of the tsunami, 

learn to swim 

to save your own life, 

and 

ride the waves! 

They only serve you...take the lessons they give you.

And pay the price

for a life

of freedom. 

Let the lightning pierce you, 

and the thunder wake you

for action. 

The Heavens,

the oceans,

the land.

the ether

all call your name now. 

See those fireworks?

Those are for you. 

Your celebration calls you!

Feel your beating heart on fire.

Save

For the lost can never be found,
                                               if they don't want to be found.

Everyone's loss is their own,
                                          and we have no right to take their lessons from them.

Just be present,
                       and have love for your own loss.

You cannot Save anyone,
                                      but your-self.

Like sinking ships,
                           we will fall,
                                            and we will excavate our losses.

Reset the Steps you Dance

One step forward.

Two steps back.

Forever and ever;

We stop.

We start.

We reverse.

To let go,

is to leave

the game.

Dance your waltz,

           your tango.

One step forward.

Two steps back.

To your

new

  reset button.

The Saddest Song for the Saddest Day

Your musical note

-struck-

a

low ebb

and all of a sudden,

the tears came

flooding

out of

this dam.

The saddest note 

waited

so long

to be heard,

by 

you and me,

and 

forgotten humanity,

for,

if we cannot 

handle our sadness,

we will not be able to

handle our happiness. 

Slipping through our fingers,

we die

slowly.

Drifting away 

from the music

that is playing

in the ballroom of our lives.

Time for a new ballroom,

a new song,

a new dance.

A high musical note.
