Journey

 One heaven above us, 

and one earth below

the experiences are many

to each who dare to grow.

The journey is filled 

with many hills to climb,

but I have realized 

we are short on time.

Make the most 

of each second of the day,

in the magic of life 

its brings joy our way.

Journey

 It might have been the time

or the way it was meant to be, 

but no one would understand

the secrets within me. 

Pain within the eyes, 

the ache within the heart

on a reckless journey 

where memories never part. 

Whispers done in silence,

as if the need to share 

but fall upon deaf ears

imbedded with a touch of fear.

To the grave they'll follow

as they weren't meant to be, 

for it was a time and place

in a seemingly troubled journey.

When you wish upon a star...

Encouraging the child within to believe that anything is possible, it comes to you in many packages. It's magical and you can see it all over the hills and the reflection on the crystal cool water of the nearby lake. This magic is also brought to you by those special people that enter your life, for a moment , a year and some even hold your hand for the complete journey.

Memories they enhance the day and allow you to look back and smile and feel your heart overflow with the warmth that love brings. Several years back a dear friend sang this song for me, I remember it being a very special moment and a wonderful connection was made between two people on that day. He sang> "when you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are, when you wish upon a star your dreams come true." I can't tell you exactly how I felt that day, I remember the glass sliding doors were in front of me and as I listened to him sing, I felt as if some how we had broken the barrier of space and that the glass wall was shattered for one moment and that I had escaped the imprisonment.

Since that special day I have found many ways to escape the hollow, through photographs, conversation, friendship and yes daydreaming. I have felt love's embrace and the beauty of life as it stirs the desire to be and do so much more. When darkness blankets the night and the stars in the heavens sparkle bright, I realize how very close we truly are, as that which shines over my head, shines over yours each night.

If anything is possible and dreams can really come true, one day will share that smile, face to face along the shore, your hand in mine locked tightly and sadness will there be no more.

Good Night!

Yesterday paved the way for today, so that we may
journey down the path of tomorrow..

Reaches out pulls you close and kisses you goodnight.

Decisions

Decisions
Those nasty little choices that keep popping up through the day. Clouded in judgment over the years I found that sheltering which is portrayed as a protectiveness is quite the opposite , it does very little to promote a foundation where growth can flourish. Stagnant life becomes a mere existence , rather then a contribution of self to the world around us. I battled the years of regression as I tackle each moment in the day to gain independence of thought and allow my inner self to reach its full capacity. The long journey had planted seeds of self doubt which have rooted within .
You can imprison the body , setting limitations upon ones abilities . But you can’t hold on to the spirit within, that seeks to soar the heavens. The minds capabilities are unlimited. Finding the strength to not question what it is the heart feels and allowing freedom to overcome all obstacles.The strains of indeciveness grips when I least expect it.I find that I need stimulation and constant reminders to encourage the journey forward. Hungry for the contact that comes with reaching out beyond the perimeters set in place many years ago. I find each person I come in contact with is a lesson in life and fuel for the days ahead.
