Let It Out

I used to stare up at the ceiling
And think about how
I’d never get another moment
I can’t go back there
Spent too much time in my life kneeling
Looking for a sign
And only found others looking too
Now I begin to work on healing
Go slow it takes time
And although I don’t have the answers
I know I’ll get there
It seems like such a distant feeling
Fading slowly by
It hardly feels like a memory
Whenever I look
At the life that I’m living
Everything seems so removed from now
And all that I want ’s to let it out
Open up
Unafraid and truly
I feel like things are getting better
Each day I see now
We lost some years we lost some battles
I won’t go back there
Express myself down to the letter
Showing who I am
And no concern what they think of me
We are all living works in progress
Forgive forget it
Try not to suffer slings and arrows
Let go of perfect
It is a complicated process
Finding happiness
Not letting time get away from you
Whenever I looked
At the life I was living
Everything seemed so removed from now
And all that I want ’s to let it out
Open up
Unafraid and truly

Interwoven

Breath drawing inward, flowing outward
Life giving power, never seen
All living beings, interwoven
Connected through the air we breathe
Sun giving daylight, warm and gentle
Felt by all creatures, great and small
All living beings, interwoven
Connected through the light of day
Through our lives, we can grow to learn
Who we are, how to find the joy ourselves
And from there, we can share our joy
With those we know, and with all the world ask
May we all find joy
May we all find our love
Drink from the waters, so refreshing
Rivers and oceans, bridging worlds
All living beings, interwoven
Connected through the water wide

Two Yellow Chairs

One pair
Separate souls
Overtaken by
A time unsparing
Two chairs
Yellow bold
Sitting side by side
A perfect pairing
Three hours
Alone and cold
‘Cross a long divide
Emotions wearing
Four walls
Truths unfold
Open hearts provide
A cure
Five words
Through it all
Even teary eyed
Return our bearing
We grow
Evermore
Making inner peace
Our guide

Moon Ball

When the sun reappears
Pluck the moon from the sky
And hold it tightly in your hand
We can play again
Throw it far far away
And I’ll carry it back
Then we can do it all again
Living a life without concern
No condition
To our love spending our
Lives together’s
Shown me joy
When the sun reappears
Pluck the moon from the sky
And hold it tightly in your hand
We can play again
Throw it far far away
And I’ll carry it back
Then we can do it all again
Joy is a life without concern
