If Tomorrow I Dont See! 02/23/20
one day while i was sitting around and thinking about you all
The thought had crossed my mind when my number God would call
When memories of your childhood flashed thru my mind to me
and i was thinking i didnt say enough if tomorrow i dont see
then i thought about the day you was born and smiled from ear to ear
i watched you sleep those first few days afraid you'd disappear
thru the rough times i spent on my knees praying for God to set us free
once again that thought had crossed my mind if tomorrow i dont see
did i help you accomplish all your dreams and keep you safe till i depart
have i said enough thru out your life so you'll know whats in my heart
then my fathers words came back to me and they have set me free
he simply said remember i will always love you if tomorrow i dont see!

This morning
I picked up the mirror in your hands
and shattered it to pieces.
If I could fix things
I would take on the world.
I flip a switch
and the fire comes back.
Everything I remember
is stopping or saving.
All I want is to be
someone’s hero.
I want to hold someone’s sun,
bring up the stars,
be the reason for shifting,
keep someone’s fingers from freezing.
You don’t have to tell me you need me,
just tell me you need my strength.
I have nothing else to lose.
Sometimes I hear the ghosts of my past
Often they whisper in my ear
Just out of consciousness
Barely audible, but present
Memories of those gone by
Now immortal in my mind
Forever they'll exist in me
Or at least as long as I live
For we are scars on the membrane of time
Carving our existence deep into it's flesh
Dying to gain immortality
Our existence tantamount to the memories of others
I'll never forget
I remember when
Forever meant eternity not;
Until you found a better me.
I'll never forget
I remember when
You said you love
Me for Me
Not for who I was
or
For who i will become
I'll never forget
I remember when
We talked everyday
About everything
About Nothing
I'll never forget
I remember when
Phone calls where hours long
not seconds fast and done
I'll never forget
I remember when
I Love You
Was said 'cause you
meant it
Not 'cause you though
you had to say it back
I'll never forget
I remember
All the lies
I'll never ever forget
Love
It hurts your Soul,
Your Mind, Your Body
moveless with heartbreak,
as you try to Understand,
Listen, Remember
your head hurts,
your weeping burns
a hole into your Eyes,
Your Mind, Your Heart
This is true love,
the hearfelt pain
trying to breathe,
but no air getting in-
your throat Closes,
Throbs, Imploads
as the with of death
takes you through
the pain that is - his
Death
But Listen
as time goes on,
on you move,
And find the better
of what life can give-
A New Love
So Listen
I don't feel at ease here,
Or at peace.
There are no fond memories -
Just an empty spot,
In a crowded plot -
No room for your soul to breathe.
Oh, what a distant memory -
A little girl at the foot of her papa,
The pitter patter of tiny feet -
Ready to jump,
Into the arms -
Awaiting.
Time has since faded -
That little girl is no longer.
A woman when you passed,
Yet a child still at heart.
Memories left -
Scattered -
And I'm left to wonder,
If you feel forgotten,
In this overgrown plot -
With pieces of you missing -
Divided,
As is your sanctity.
Remember that time?
Long ago -
When I was part of you,
And you,
A piece of me.
Life was chaotic,
Stress was daily,
My figure grew thin -
My ego, bruised.
Beaten,
And used.
Many times,
I came back to you.
What did I do,
To deserve the shit
You put me through -
The way I feel,
To this day.
How to reach that corner -
To peek around,
and not fall back -
Cowering,
Curled in a fetal position.
Not knowing what lies ahead,
Around the bend.
What is beyond the sunset?
When is a new day,
Where I don't compare him,
To you?
When will your memory lay still?
Where is that current,
To take you away?
When can I drift to sleep,
And not think of you?
When will this torment end?
When you are talking to a person, any person, about anything, and they are telling you a "story", there are aspects of the "story" that will touch you. Some aspects touch you deeply, others may anger you and never reach their intended destination within the"whole" of who you are. The reasons are because of how your life has formed up until that moment, an if you only have an awareness of your own experiences, and your own thinking pattern that was developed from your own experiences, what it comes down to is that their "truth" is never the entire "truth", but only a perspective of part of the "truth". So when we listen with only the parts of our ears, mind, heart, that can resonate with those things we hold as being "truth", we curse ourselves. Why? Because we choose closed mindedness. When we repeatedly insist that our truth is the only truth, and we neglect to change patterns of thinking we have adopted through only our own life experiences and group thinking rather than push our psyches to see a different way that could have been, to blaze a different trail that is uniquely our own, we turn our backs on possibilities and even our own very purpose for living on earth during these difficult times. No one will ever see entirely eye to eye with anyone. That is unrealistic and does little in the way of supporting things like human dignity. We are all on this earth at this time for a reason. All of our reasons may be different in each of our individual realities and trials and tribulations, but there are some things that most people care about, and one thing in particular that touches us no matter how much our subconscious helps us commit spiritual suicide. That Is Love. Undefinable, undeniable, LOVE.
To live in the past is to be dormant in life. To be, in most all ways, "dead". To run from the past and refuse to acknowledge it at all, is like a form of spiritual suicide in too many ways. Our pasts have the ability to cause great change as well as great stagnation. When we bravely face life with love for ourselves we find everything we need to always grow and always move forward. ..not be stagnant and "dead in spirit".
Live your life whole. Rejoice in the fact that the past is over, and treasure today, because without it, there's no future. Your life begins not with what is around you. Your life begins with what is in you, and you have to build it yourself.
The son has grown, he's choosing path
With fear in eyes, he stands like calf
Oh, Lord, what shall I do and where'd I go?
What shall I search for, what is my role?
There is no way which's purely right,
There is no window which's only bright.
Be my guest, let's solve this secret,
Let's have a journey, so grab your ticket.
But don't forget what people say,
What have they begged for,
What have they prayed.
They tried, they searched,
They've found and lost,
They fought for what they loved the most.
