I'm here for the moment

I am left to look to the sky
Seeing dark clouds
but the rain drops won't fall upon me

My soul feels thirsty and
My heart is dry
Can the love I desire and need, edify and quench me?

I've sifted through the layers and folds
Seeing with time the barriers that I put up and hold

But to live I'd need to pull them down
I know one day she'll be there to help me down
From this solitude of my Soul

I've walked alone for a while
and learned to breathe
I've lost my way in a dark place
and understood what it meant to feel

But some fears they still reside
I've overcome so much yet I still hide

Memories of those brave moments
seem so far from me in my time of need
May be I just need to stop recalling the past
and in myself for once believe.

SOFT

SOFT

RADIANT

LIGHT

FLOWING

GRACEFUL

BRIGHT

These are the words

that come from my heart

to my mind

Seeing your face
In this chaotic place

Makes time stop for a moment

In this momentary eternity

I know that

Hope is still alive

Deep inside

You may or may not be

The one possibly the only
But from our glances
There must be something blissful, holy

Maybe be can sit and chat a while

I’m loving your laugh and smile
And your words and thoughts captivate me

Like not many have done before

It’s a shame that our time was short
But life is as such
We’ve come each other’s way in a coincidence
And I’m left with a heartfelt crush

This I don’t mind

Cuz I’ve grown to know
that life is a river
And I’ll just move with the flow

the depraved umbrella

His umbrella may have been depraved

But it weathered his travels

Through the storms and the rain

Through the unforgiving heat of the dry season
It stood and sheltered

Held by steady, caring hands

The umbrella though torn

Remained resilient

 

Bequeathed to him by those who didn’t care for it

It was his faithful companion

 

From south to north and back

It sheltered him like the hand of god over his head
And gave him the solitude to ponder his writings

and his journey in life while he walked

 

The world would look at him in amazement

“Why he doh get ah new one?!?!”
“Is cheap he cheap?!?!”

 

Yet he could not be all the more wealthy

For his heart and soul were ever radiant

Giving to the world more than they knew

 

For he wrote and spoke the hidden truths of our hearts

And in his wanderings he learnt more about humanity
About its despairs, about its hopes and dreams

 

He connects those who wanted to be heard
With those who would listen
And in the joy of connecting people
This became his reward and his own blessing

 

In the depraved umbrella

He realized the divine

And that the imperfect was perfect 
and sublime

 

Fathom

We feel overwhelmed at times by the rushing tides

Where once the path so clearly was seen
Is now covered by the deep, the unknown

Spanning the divide of our mind

So perilous and dark it may seem
turbulent, churning, dark waters

From our darkest dreams

We can tread this unknown

And seek to discover the darkness of our souls

Where the shadows keep warm and abide

Where the light does not bother to be

So far on the other side

Why fight the current and flow

Cross the shadows

Free your mind of fear,

And let go

For the light and darkness

Came from one

Let the waters carry you into the unknown

Take the plunge…

deep….

down....

From there you can learn of yourself

And listen to the silence of the deep

To know the side of life you hide from
under your covers while asleep

Free your mind of fear and let go
let the darkness come to light
and the unknown become the known
to learn to fathom the depths

Of the eternal ocean….

Your soul

Treasures of the Past

We should not live in the past

But remember the treasures that we found there

The treasures that inspired us

That lifted us to become more than we are

Which have enabled us to be here at this point

A time which we could not have seen then
But which our hearts yearned for

And our eternal souls knew of

These treasures are words

Sounds, scents, moments

Fleeting and Enduring

Good and Bad

We return to them

And sometimes they to us

They connect us to the universal soul of this world

They connect us to a confluence of lives which lift us up

And in turn we lift them

These treasures are in fact
the very things that make our souls dance

Our hearts soar

Our minds at peace and our bodies whole

They are the blessing of a mother

The hug from a friend

A cough drop from a concerned worker
Those little things

Remember these treasures

Remember the peace they brought to you

And how they lifted you up

So that in your time of trial
you may draw from this

“easier said than done” may come to mind
but cast that phrase out

draw from these moments for they
these treasures of the past have not left you
they abide in your heart
as the energy of the universe abides in you

give peace from where peace is given
and make peace from where chaos may seem to dance
for chaos gave birth to a dancing star
and the dancing star eventually gave birth to us all

Here I am and Here I remain

Its a French phrase that has always resonated with me
"J'y suis, J'y reste"
"Here I am, Here I remain"

Take the below verses for instance:

"I am here waiting for you,
In this moment my mind and heart
float amongst your flowing thoughts and passions

I remain ever admiring your being
You add some more reason for existing
Than just the day to day mulling over
of just job and vibe"

Its a phrase that has symbolized I guess patience, faith,
and also a reminder, that if you need me I'm here.

Here to be your shoulder, here to be your friend in conscious mind and passionate heart.
Not as a false friend, but admiring your courage, what you stand for and your life.

And by "You" I mean all who I consider friends and who consider me the same.

We all need to be inspired and in so doing inspire others but with the genuine passion and love that only true friendship can provide.

So "Here I am, Here I remain" for better or for worse, forever your friend.
