Faces that I love

I want to be lost again

Within you I lose myself...
Without you I find myself
Wanting to be lost again.
It's been an awful long time
my heart needed time to heal.
If its only for a few moments
I thank you for the time spent.
I want to be lost again.
Courage.
Desire.
Integrity.
Compassion.
Love.

Exhaustion

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized

If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down on him

Mmm, mmm, mmm
So let it be
Mmm, mmm, mmm
So let it be

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized

If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain, let it rain
Rain on him

balance

Drip Drop, Drip Drop

the sun sweating its wrought.

Middle ground brings peace and balance

the same balance that a key few turn down.

The days twist and turn throughout the rolling hills called life.

Balance is refreshing.

Fresh, alive, clean.

Bringing a worn down enigma new life.

Stitching anew as the sun meets the sea

This balance that we all search for

begin the cycle of living once again.

Living while Learning

I just want PEACE

It's sometimes strange that I think about peace within relationships. I mean we all want to have peaceful relationships right? Is it me, or do things happen in three's and fours everywhere. This week is entirely way to difficult for me to fathom without a peaceful heart. Its a big week. My heart has had time to heal and build again. Here's the thing. It is very difficult for me to reach out completely and have Peace when I know deep down inside it will never be reciprocated. I have turned the page enough so that my relationships that were torn during this process can go back to the way that should always have been. Thank you for your support in rebuilding my structure. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for helping make me feel at home, when it feels so far away from reality. I will always try and do the best thing in all circumstances for anyone around me and in this instance I feel that everyone involved in this will be at peace eventually. It is my FATHER that helps me get through each day a changed man. March 3 you will come and go. The Pain will be sharp and hurtful, but through YOU all things are possible....



"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."
