Let Go

Let Go

I heard from God last night - 
"you need to let go".

Let go of the pain
the hurts
the disappointments
that brought you so low.
Leave the tears behind
that made you blind
to the possibilites
you had not tried.
Stop blaming yourself
for being so weak.
You were so what does it mean?
Does it mean you can never rise
that your dream dies
because you were once unwise?

"You need to move on"

from the wasteland in your mind
leave all those deadly sins behind
grab that wick
make your candle
and shine.

This Season

This Season

Remember this promise...

Month of purpose
month that rings true.

So easy to rebel
so easy to forget
that life is worth
fighting til the end.

Seasons of forgetfulness
a mirage melted
when awake
to the light that pushes away
the dark that game to stay,
to break you down
a little more everyday.

You
who are no ordinary mortal
stand in the truth
of who you are.

Detach and attatch
rewire your thinking
rise from the water
that promised you doom
and claim your true destiny.


The Waiting Gets Hard

The Waiting Gets Hard

The waiting is hard
when the way is crowded
with all your doubts
and Hope is shrouded
in a storm cloud 
of unresloved unkown.

The waiting is hard
when you are told to stop
and your dreams
shimmy past your eyes
and nothing is as it seems.

The waiting is hard
but we must
stand our ground
and to the Great One
put all our trust.

The Supporting Character

The Supporting Character

You
you do it all 
without thanks.
When they see you
they stare
at an enigma,
because you are true to you.
You never do things "right"
You are never a failure 
despite having failed
many times.
they can't see your star
shinning 
and so they set you aside
looking for a light
that carries fool's gold.

You are the supporting character.

A bad romcom disaster.

Many may see a walking wreck
but we all been cast with respect to being that.

What they don't see 
is each day when you do something.
They don't need to know
how kind you are,
how much you sacrificed.
They don't need to see 
all you have done
with the little that you have.

No one needs to give you a golden statue
to show that you were here.
Just being is enough
because you are already satisfied
with the role you have been given.

Fade Away

Fade Away

Just like the grass 
that withers under the Sun
terrified by His wrath.
Like the water 
the dries up
humilated by all it had not done.
Just like snow
melting under its own wait
will you too fade away?

When the flowers bloom
not knowing it is its doom
will you too fade a way.
When the wind blows the dust
under its mighty gust
will you too fade away?

Will you stand or take flight
like a bird hounded by its prey.
Will you walk in the light
or cower meanacingly in the night?
Will your beauty perish
under the pummeling of all the ugly in the world?

Will you stay?
Or will you fade away?

When One Door Closes

When One Door Closes

When one door closes
thank God.
That door means 
no more drama
no more tears.
No more of those barren years.

That closed door means
you survived
now is your time to thrive.
All the lies
have been found out
and in your mind is no more doubt,
it's time to move on.

When that door closes
you can begin again. 
You made your mistakes
no need to look back 
take that new escape
you can get back on track.

Look to the one now opened
bid the closed door goodbye
that was not the hill on which to die.
Do not linger there
before you say your amen.

Life

Life

Life is a harsh teacher
and you will learn
the grass isn't always greener
and youthful exuberance 
relegated to its urn.

Life doesn't give you extra point
because you meant well.
It will show you, you don't know
what you need to know
by bringing you low.

Life uses time
as the tool 
to showcase the rules, 
that can keep you from dying.

Though you start off  sprinting
Life slows you us down,
so in this lifetime
you can make your imprint.
