darkest

They say it is darkest
before the dawn...
In which case
I expect the sun
to shine
any minute....

baggage

Running Away
rarely works,
Because we tend to
take our baggage
with us.

cell

I live in a cell of my

own creation.

I will not forgive,

So in it I stay.

broken

It was easier when
I thought that all that would
break
was my heart....
Nobody tells you about your
LIFE.

hope

This barrier that extends before me

appears to have no end...

But I HAVE to believe

that there is a

WAY.

No fence man has ever built

can lock up my

HOPE.

missed

Along this road;

Through this storm...

I pray there is

Some beauty

that my weary eyes

have missed.

worthy

If I cannot impart worldly wisdom

to my childen

before they depart into the wind,

I intend to impart this;

They are worthy of all I did not know to tell them.

fences

The problem with fences is
we often can't remember
what we were keeping in,
or
holding out.

stronger

There is no guarantee
that the challenge we face
will be our last....
Just that it will have
made us
Stronger.

words

Words

can pass through

any barrier...

fear

The weight of fear is

Exhausting...

Few hurts are worth

that burden.

feel

The world will go on,

as long as we are still willing

to feel.

castle

Tide,

do your worst because

TODAY,

I AM a castle...

sprout

What could YOU do

if no one told you

you couldn't?

home

We cannot go home again,

but HOME sometimes

finds us,

Right where we live.

applause

Learn to hear the

Applause....

scar

Time does NOT heal all wounds,

But it will teach you to live

with the scar.

just right

"...this one is

JUST RIGHT" said Goldilocks.

Hang on for the happily

ever after.

soar

Forget what you have been told,
You can soar if you want to....

define joy

Let nothing define your joy,
Except the soaring of your
heart.

job

The beauty may not be the job you do,
But the company you keep.

love form

While the form love takes
may surprise you,
It's JOY will be your proof.

friend

The future looks brighter on the arm

of a friend.

heart

Fear not,

More loving hands,

could never hold you.

cuffs

Sometimes we get a second chance.

Take it.

But never forget the weight of those chains.

home

HOME

is where EVER you

make it.

swing

Do not fear the stillness,

Instead

Remember the ride.
