It Matters

It Matters

All I really
ever wanted
was somebody
that matters,
someone that
I matter to...

If you find that
in life, I think
you've accomplished
quite a feat

So many people
seem to wander
through life
not really caring
about themselves,
much less anyone
else...

How sad that our
society has reached
that state...

I've been taught
to treat people
like you want to
be treated and
I chose to matter,
do you?

Finding Happy

Finding Happy

In endless hopes
and dreams,
I find reality

In the timeless
beauty of the night,
I find tranquility

In the sound
of your voice,
I find calm

In unrequited love,
I choose hope, still

In the breeze of
a warm summer's day,
I find peace

In the babbling of a
clear, running stream,
I let the water
wash over me,
refreshing my soul

Rekindle

Rekindle
Drinking in hope
like one who has
wandered the desert,
lost for uncounted days

I see the sun rise
in your smile and
exhale joy at
your touch

Feeling as if an
old flame, burning
low for eons, has
rekindled and is
burning brighter
than e'er before

This sense of wonder
leaves me breathless
as we ride the waves
Of unbridled passion

Watching the full
moon rise, basking
in it's glimmer, as
the light radiates,
reflecting in your
eyes, while the
subtle glow
dances across
my body

Nothing I
have yet
to experience,
in this lifetime,
compares to the
feeling of being
held safe in the
arms of you,
my one

The Winding Path

The Winding Path

On our life's path,
many times we
may stumble and
even fall but those
are the times
that help us to
realize that the
easy steps don't
always come
without a scar
or two

Don't worry
what others
think, as long
as you know
in your heart
that you are
walking your
path on a true
course, for
no one can
walk it for you,
that is your gift
and even the
most winding
of paths can
reach the
mountains

Embrace who
you want to be,
send forth to
the Universe
your projection
of good and
let the light shine
within

When that happens,
the whole world
will be brighter,
not only for you,
but for those
surrounding you

The Cleansing

The Cleansing

Their time had come
to reunite, full moon
passed, making
all things right

The oils released and
hands did touch,
awakening sadness
known too much

As they joined and
tears did flow, twin
flames surrendered
while sadness let go

In it's place, life
began to sing
of the happy times
each other would
bring

Time past, time now,
time to come and share
as hope filled the empty
that once lived there

The future bright,
the past set free
and the remembered
phrase was:

Welcome to Happy
