Wednesday

Only love will heal
Not time
Not money
Only light can illuminate
Not fear
Not isolation
Only hope
Sometimes as fragile as an eggshell
Will carry you into a new life

Most people are too fucking sensitive
Including me
We hold onto things too long
We let pain take up residence
Without growing from it
Write a summary from the parts you understood
Then throw the rest to the winds
Do us all that favor
Your life doesn't have to be spotless or normal
To live boldly in hope of a better tomorrow

Not quite living in a house of peace
Still waiting on the porch

I'll know I'm well inside
When I can bear an insult without blushing
I can see a need without my mind racing
I can give without expecting
I can love without ceasing

It's so easy to forget the dream
What's real
The trash of our illusions
Fills up our houses
Meditate always on love
On music
Only these are true
I keep thinking
If I could only write a song
And sing it on a stage
Then I would know who I am

Walking in a lukewarm swirling airbath
The morning rays greet me
I move slower than my thoughts
My dreams have time to rise
As I gather ingredients
Carefully thoughtfully
Hoping
I'm a drop deep in the ocean

Today is where the praise is
Today is where the work is
Today we fill the cups
So tomorrow we all can drink

You might just be my soul's mate
Or that guy I love to hate
We might just end in tears
Or hand in hand through all the years
There's no one I'd rather love
When you're lying close to me
I like it when you share your dreams
I like just who you want to be
Fate has moved us ever closer
Over distance near and far
Bless this road we both are on
Write our names upon the stars

It's all your dream
You could stop in a pinch
But why quit when you can create?
You could paint the most lovely life
The greenest sets
The coolest props
You could surround yourself daily
With people that inspire you and push you to dream even bigger
As the slime left the mud
And the fish left the sea
So must we rise above ourselves

Beginning again
A lust for power
Not the cruel kind
Power that moves
Efficiency expressed
Pure intentions
Not giving up
Until the body gives out
