Life Cycle, Journey

I'm not done yet
I've only just begun

This life is here
Waiting

For the living
It's for the now

This life
Is precious
Beautiful and real

In moments like this
I find myself

Searching for the true
The sweet
The gentle
The real part of me
That I am meant to be

I'm not done yet
I've only just begun

To know
To understand

More of who I really am

Destined for greatness
Destined to be
The best part of me
That I am meant to be

I'm not done yet
I've only just begun

This race of life awaits
I beat a steady path

Of love, grace, and truth
On a journey beautiful
That never really ends

This is Love

To love the unlovable
To touch the untouchable
To live in satisfaction
That one’s acts are good
To forgive the hurts of a lifetime
And to return wrongdoing with kindness
That is love

If I could speak to mine enemy
What would I say
Put off not for tomorrow
What could be done today
My foresight is my hindsight
And sometimes that’s not enough
To live gently with others
And spare not the rod of hope
Mercy, peace and goodness
Let love be the cornerstone
Of all you do

Then there was us

Once upon a time there was us
Two hearts in love so full of trust

Our dreams at last were complete
Our life together happy and sweet

Simple hopes and simple dreams
Came to life with love at the helm

Seekers of hope our hearts whispered to the wind
And the love that we came to share found us

Forever mine, forever true
Your love found me and I found you

Once upon a time love came true
And then there was us
Me and you

Allowed

AM I allowed to truly feel what I feel
When I feel it
Or must I play the part, put on the face
Act like I’m okay
Be what you want me to be
Which is anything except
The real me

Can I scream aloud my feelings high
Let my cry echo into the sky
Without fear
Of being seen as weird or crazy

AM I allowed to express
Let go, release or at best
Just be who I am
In any moment
Without a judge
Of character
Or the pointing of a flaw

Can I be just right
Though to the world
I’m really wrong

Well in their eyes
It seems that I
Don’t exist
They can’t explain me
So they just ignore me
Refuse to adore
My true beauty

They can’t deny
That I am here
So they walk around
Like I’m not there

Impolite stares
In a crowded room
Worshiping their own
Avoiding the one and only me
Beautiful brown
Honey hued
Skin that they’d just like to
Wish away

Freedom

Freedom is what I want
To speak my mind
To express myself
Without fear
Without bread crumbs or trails
That you can find
Leading you to the deep
Dark core of my mind
That you aren’t meant to see

No really
To express myself
To be free in voice
In heart and soul
To say what I feel
And not be judged by my feelings
That may betray what we have

My feelings don’t always match
How I live
But I live anyway
Embracing the day
Knowing that like time
These feelings too
Will pass
