Writings

Oh Hi

Riding high on the sails of discovery


Through the forest and trees of life


The roads of familiarity


Going through the motions of mediocrity


Comes rediscovery when something you loved before but not quite understood the value


Becomes new once again, appreciated in growth, value and not a far memory that is distant in thought or feeling.


Oh hello, Oh hi, welcome home....

Passion Finder

I rediscovered something that gives me hatred towards yet I quite love

It was a revelation filled with tears, tension and physical and mental pain

It’s something that means a lot to me and I find important in my daily day

It’s something I gained while training for and spent all those days i could’ve spend doing something else

I found it during a challenging time

It felt like a purpose to fix a b...

Christmas

On Christmas Day, at six in the morning.

I arise in my bed with the sun as it’s dawning.

I’m full of excitement and run into the den,

A pile of presents, I count at least ten!


I run to find mother and ask if I can start?

She nods and I run back to rip them apart.

Inside the wrapping I find toys, books and games.

This is the best day ever, as Santa has came.


It’s thirty years later as I lay in b...

Rediscovery

My spirit first approached me

In the fiery autumn forest

I felt her breath through my mouth

Desperate gasps ripped from my chest


A creature of solitude

A singular defender

Failed to remedy the poisons

And kill the leeches that claimed her


I was frightened and cried out

Senses of the earth overwhelming

I let the poison roam freely

The disease fully claim me


For years I ignored her

And ...

my soul

My brain is my heart

Words are my soul

I wish to do what I want

Not to do what I’m told


A diamond in the flesh

But invisible to all

It takes true one to know one;

To see far beyond


My outer skin

And to instead see my words

My thoughts, my emotions

To see my heart; what’s within


Everyone shines

When put on display

A true ornament

Trapped in a gilded cage


But I wish to be wild and free

To go on...

It’s all so light

The light is light. It’s singular when it’s emitted from the source. It shape shifts as it travels down to us. Different wavelengths different frequencies, serving different purposes.


On its journey to entropy it meets rays that came before, rays that were refracted into a myriad other ones. Each meeting of the rays a source of varying intensities.


The photons brimming with energy in a dance wit...

Present Company

I enjoy hiking.

Seems strange I forgot,

But you never liked it.


That was fine.

I was never passionate about it

And it got forgotten




For a long time after you left

I felt a present absence

A leave that was left unrest


But today it was filled by someone

I hadn’t seen in some time

The part of me I had left behind

To be with you...

Self Awareness

Self awareness is the biggest rediscovery in life.

Once you are aware of your triggers, thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and trauma, that’s when you truly begin to know yourself. That’s the first step to growing. You can’t help yourself when you don’t know yourself. Once we grow up and no one is telling us how we need to live, we discover our true values. Our truest self. We start to unlearn belief...

Over

Over and under

Over and Over

Under, it’s over

When will this pain find its lover

I am stuck in the middle

Of dying and loving

New set of eyes for my lover

Please, no more shoving

I shed my skin to show my lover

Now, I without a cover

Need to rediscover

The world without a lover.

No one could ever love me like you

Not another soul can hurt like you

I am all but one soul

Lost but in ...
