Sunrise

As I sit in silence
Learning from afar
Every place becomes
Xanadu

A Kingdom of purity&
Nostalgic hope
Dare to dream -OR

Realize that truth
Initially scares us
Away....

Crying for more

Doubting Heart

I sit and wait for change
Like a plant waits for its moment
In the sun

Hoping the rays of light
Will lead me happily into the
Future

I ache to live without regret
Full of life and inspiration
True and free

Clinging to pieces of myself
That have been lost
For so long

I wrap myself in the dream
That love is not an
Aberration

Forcing the light upon me
In a tunnel full
Of darkness

I pray for guidance
Strength, insight
And Serenity

Questioning the One
To whom I pray:
Are you real?

I ask the Universe
To set me free -
Let me be me

Stop

Slipping
into self-pity,
silently shedding
the sentiments
of yesterday
and embracing
the shadows
of today

Seeking
sorrow
and sympathy
so that you
can see
how you've
emotionally
seduced me

Stealing
a piece of my soul
sharing it
with so many
while stripping me
slowly

of me
