Home.
Many things that make you who you are. You, you that are reading this; and you, and over there; yes you too. Don’t ever forget that. Please don’t forget that.
Why? because it’s why you’re you.
We may not know,
We may not see,
How we’ve helped set someone free.
The words we speak,
Might seem unheard,
Yet may have touched and somehow stirred.
Such silent times,
As these may seem,
Your words mean more than you may see.
Please understand,
Don’t be undone,
Watch and wait for heaven’s sun.
The day will come,
On this have faith,
Dreams will shine with warm embrace.
Until that time,
Do not belay,
Speak forth your words in each new day.
Words may come,
Words may go,
But feelings will forever flow.
Connecting hearts,
With bridging dreams,
Meet somewhere midst sweet timeless seams.
For you will see,
The words you say,
Touch a soul in beautiful ways.
Take courage please,
And share sweet words,
For they are felt and doubtless heard.

So many thoughts do clutter my mind
Emotions a plenty swell unconfined
Anxious, uncertain; completely unnerving
Tentative steps with faith unwavering
Neck muscles and shoulders consistently screaming
Every night finds me constantly dreaming
Stomach tied up in knots all a flutter
Forehead so feverish it could melt some butter
Don’t know what tomorrow invariably brings
What is this life full of roller coaster swings?
Where, when and how? A path to atone
Scary uncertain a future unknown
A world full of paths and divers ways
Where is the sun and the heavenly rays?
Lost but not gone, ‘cross deserts I roam
Waiting to find where heart calls its a home

Sometimes the words come easy
Sometimes so painfully
There is no rhyme or reason
They simply come to be
I want to share my thoughts
A race inside my head
I hit the wall, my tongue in knots
Left with numbness instead
My mind a crowded mess
My heart rides on my sleeve
I’m not quite sure about the rest
I long for some reprieve
The daily war of mind and heart
A battle within my soul
I want so bad to split apart
To crawl into a hole
Instead with pain I bleed
With tears I now invoke
Please take the time to read
These thoughts from a soul so broke
Feeling anxious and unredeemed
Lost inside your own home
Unsure of which door to open
Where does one dream end and another begin
Or perhaps they’re realities strewn across the universe
Massacred like soldiers on a battlefield
Watching from somewhere else
Out of body, out of mind
Seeing, hearing, feeling
Not living, just an audience
An audience to one’s own life
Or what appears to be a life
An apparition waiting, wanting, wishing
Opening one door, then another
Searching through realities
Discovering new dreams
Dreams and realities bleeding into each other
Melding as one, dripping with anticipation
Oozing with chaos and madness
Is my life one crazy dream?
A nightmare played out on stage
Mixed with flashes of fantastic beauty
Perception is my reality
My mind is my own prison
My heart, the warden of my dreams
I only see what it allows me
It scoffs and scorns at my anguish
Punishing my existence with every beat
Pumping me full of exhilaration
Crushing me with the self destruction
I’m trapped, inside my soul
A prisoner to my own existence
To connect
To feel
Be free
Be real
To see
To understand
To be
Never to demand
Two hearts
One soul
In-sync parts
One main goal
In life
In death
Through strife
With every breath
This ride we take
A future we make
Forever and a day
With you every step of the way
