Be the light that I need
Be the air that I breathe
Be all that I can see
Whenever I forget to be me

Be
love
In a quiet place
I’ve been away
Not had much to say
Been in a quiet place
Inside a forgotten space
Letting my thoughts swirl
While my feet uncurl
Feeling happy and carefree
As I find the inner me
Enjoying a different view
While still holding on to you

I looked up…
I looked to the heavens,
and what did I find?
I found answers to my questions
of the heartwarming kind.
And isn’t it funny
how we never have to look far;
the answers they come to us
right where we are.
So next time I start to lose hope,
I’ll just look up once again.
And I’ll wait for the answers
from where they’ve always been.
I’ll keep trusting in the magic
of things unforeseen
and revel in the splendor
as the heavens intervene.

Do you have a muse?
Do you have a muse,
someone who inspires;
do they always stand by you
no matter what transpires.
Do they turn your dull days
into momentous occasions;
do they motivate you
with very little persuasion.
Have you found your soulmate,
the one who anchors your feet;
are they the sort of person
who makes you feel complete.
Have you captured the one
who loves you as an equal;
do they bring purpose to your life
and not another boring sequel.
Do you belong to that someone
who always helps you grow;
are you with the one person
you always wanted to know.
Are you with that one love
you can’t live without,
or are you living your life
full of endless days of doubt.

Starry wishes
I sit here all alone
under a bright starry sky,
waiting for a meteor
to streak right by.
And in the twinkling darkness,
my thoughts carry me to you;
you always loved the nights
as much as I do.
I think back to the “us” times
under slivers of a sultry moon;
those moments spent together
always evaporated way too soon.
I remember sharing so much
as the hours lost their way,
never an awkward moment
as we always had so much to say.
The years have all passed by now,
but the memories are still so near;
and I think of you so often,
ever wishing you were here.
