Up from the ground

She grew and flourished

Eventually she found

The light that nourished

She opened up

Slowly until

She became a beautiful tulip

That danced in the wind

So softly she swayed

To the rhythm around

Slowly she played

Her own little sound

She stayed up all spring

And danced everyday

But she knew summer would bring

Too much heat for her to stay

So slowly she went

Right back into th...

Don’t look down

Don’t look behind

You will be more scared

Then the first time

Your greatest fear

Your largest lie

Will creep right back

If you give it time

Climb that wall

Straight up to the sky

Don’t give up

Don’t comply

This fear of heights

Restricts your life

Brings you down

Confines your mind

Don’t let it win

Don’t let it decide

This is your show

Run your own life...

You loved like a flame

Fierce and bright

You loved like the rain

Constant and sound

You loved me so deeply

I’ll never understand

Now I am shallow

Without you holding my hand

You loved me so fiercely

Steadfast and passionate

You loved me until I burned

Now you are left with my ashes

You loved like a hurricane

Intense and ungiving

You loved like a breeze

Gently and soft

You left so abruptly

Wit...

No more thoughts

That fill my mind

No more people

To tell me what’s right

No more family

No more friends

To help me through

To hold my hand

How could I leave

All that I know

How could I go

Without saying goodbye

Why would I follow

This dream of mine

If it meant

I had to leave them behind

No more mornings

Sleeping in with you

No long walks

Watching the sky fade from pink to blue

I know this ...

Memory breaths

Memory chimes

Like a clock on the wall

That remembers the time

Memory sees

Memory forgets

Yours and my past

And all it’s regrets

Memory feels

Memory decides

To do what is wrong

Or to do what is right

Memory soars

Memory flies

Like all the birds

That dance in the sky

Memory lives

Memory dies

Like all of us

Living our lives

But it is your choice

Not memory’s nor mine

Decide your...
