Aware I sit and ponder this world
Advantages I’ve had in life
Alone a time or two before
Attached to the wrong ones
Awakening I know it’s time to
Absorb the pain in my heart
And carry on as best I can
Alive with possibilities before me
Arranging hope health and happiness
Attacking the defeat I feel in me
Attune to my expanding future
Advising myself that the sky’s the limit

Step forward to the entrance
Open up the door and take a peek
You’re coming into my heart
And I couldn’t be happier
Look out for some baggage
Stacked up here and there
And boxes of memories
Some boarded up
Others wide open
But there is a comfort here for you
That I hope you find pleasant
And it is an easy going place
No pressure to stay but still
I hope you will share it with me
For many years to come

Confess your dreams to me
Do you want to flee
Escape this madness with me
And live in fantasy free
***
Confess your truths to me
Do you need the key
To set your sins free
And a clear future see
***
Confess your love to me
Do you want to be free
Where you only feel glee
In a world of just we
***
Confess your hopes to me
Confess your past to me
Confess your feelings to me
Confess you need me
… as much as I need you

“A great attitude becomes a great mood, which becomes a great day, which becomes a great year, which becomes a great life.”
Zig Ziglar
There is something to be said about a good attitude, a positive outlook, a peaceful state of mind… all can be influential on the rest of your days and the days of all those around you. So if you want to be in a good environment you have to produce a good environment yourself. Happiness can be contagious, pass it on!
Past letters…
“I think anybody who goes away finds you appreciate home more when you return.”
YoYo Ma
This is so true… maybe a hint of absence makes the heart goes fonder. It is also related to just being homesick when you are away from home. From small to large, there are so many things that a person can miss about home. From a special coffee cup to start the day out, to the feeling of sleeping in your own bed. After all, home is where the heart is, and absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Past letters…
“Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.”
John Lennon
Doing something you love is a type of self-care. When you are doing a fun pastime or activity time can get away from you and seem wasted, but taking care to relax and enjoy life is so important. So, go waste some time today!
Past letters…
Gazing into your brown eyes
I see my future
Lost in the warmth of your smile
I see happiness for us
Held in the embrace of your arms
I feel safe and at home
Every time I am near you
I am lost in a sea of emotions
A visceral feeling so deep is my love
I feel complete when I am with you
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – visceral
Of all the things I miss
I really miss a kiss
A quick little cuddle
While the teams take a huddle
We would share in hours
Of love’s simple powers
Sitting side by side
Or taking a car ride
A brush of your loving hand
On my cheek would be grand
But that’s in the past
Our love didn’t last
I am not pining away though
For deep down I know
There will be love again
It is just a matter of when

I stand still Looking ahead I see A crossroad waiting for me I move forward Just to the deciding place Where a question I must face I look left and right Unsure of my life Hiding from the strife I strain to see ahead Is it good or is it bad Can’t be worse than what I’ve had I close my eyes Focus on my inner desire Look for solutions taking me higher I take a deep breath Turning to the road to the right The future may now be in sight I take the first step Down the road to my potential My dreams and my happiness essential

Quick
Call the hospital
Hurry
Fast
My heart is erratic
And my head is a mess
I fumble and mumble
I must be in duress
It all happened today
When you had something to say
You spoke to me
And I felt the glee
Of actually being seen
And not by someone mean
So hurry quick
Which doctor do I pick
One to stop my pounding heart
Or one to pick my brain apart
I do not know
Which way to go
What is this feeling
I know I’m reeling
No need to push and shove
I think it may just be love
