    There are moments in life 
    when nothing makes sense.
    No amount of 
    ingenuity or strength 
    can get you out of the 
    darkness.
    In those moments, 
    some turn to God,
    some turn to family, 
    some turn to therapy,
    some turn and run.
    The measure of a soul
    isn't where you turn
    when faced with
    senslessness, 
    but when you get through it,
    whether you help others
    through their darkest 
    moments.
    The only light someone 
    may be able to see
    is you.

    Hopeful skywatchers
    Squint to see the first drop fall
    Our parched souls need rain
  • 5:02am

    I hear you breathing in the quietness
    and listen for the next intake and exhale
    realizing that peace is in the simple things
    that happen without me knowing just how
    vital they are and that I miss many of them
    by giving focus to the words in my head
    telling me that whatever is coming is more
    important though I should be in the moment
    when I'm awake before the dawn hearing the 
    softness of your breath and should know that
    with each and every rise and fall of your chest
    I am the luckiest person just to be able to 
    lie here and listen to the sound of you sleeping.

    That feeling,
    no it's more than that
    and less,
    that sense of being
    when you sit on the edge,
    darkness, cliffs, sanity,
    no matter how funny,
    intelligent,
    likeable,
    charming,
    responsible,
    sober you are
    nothing fills you
    but a desire
    to see nothing more
    and nothing less
    than what you have already seen
    and the flood of emotion,
    that drought of love in a perfect storm
    makes you take a step
    into, off of, past
    where you hope to feel,
    no it's more than that,
    and less,
    you hope to be
    different.
  • walking into 2014

    Come walk with me, and learn to live
    As we go through this year.
    Come walk with me and learn to laugh
    With joy and without fear.
    Come walk with me and learn to love
    Unselfishly as we teach each other
    to love as we have never loved
    And laugh as only joy can give.
    Come walk with me, let's learn together
    To savor each moment we live.
