Orbs of light
dance before me.
Iridescent illusions
begging for attention.
Wisps of wonderment,
mesmerizing and bizarre.
Veiled splendor,
yearning for notice.
Hidden behind
a harsh reality.
And I say…
“I see you.”
My heartfelt wish
is that she’ll keep on dancing
And in nebulous purple,
she remains my phantom friend.

Your words
They sit
In a lonely tin
Sad to think
I’ll never
See you again
But life
Moves on
You went away
I’m still
Sometimes sad
You didn’t stay

About to embark
On a journey
A new way of life
I think this beginning
Is just what I need
I have nothing left here
Nothing holding me back
So I will chase my dreams
The sky is the limit
Look out world
Here I come!

Every day I realize
More and more what I have
It isn’t my belongings, dusty on shelves
It isn’t the things I’ve accomplished
Or even the things I’ve mastered
But instead, It’s the people
And the experiences
The beauty of life itself
These are the things that matter
The things that are worth loving
The things I want to fight for
I hope I never lose sight
Of the true treasures of life

I’m trusting you
For the time I’m here
Please don’t fail me now
Just steer me clear
I need your help
To guide my way
Oh God please show me
What to do and say
