Conclusions

woman

There’s truth to be found
In the most unlikely places
Small hidden kernels
In the most improbable spaces

And to find these concealed realities
Often makes our heads spin
An aha kind of moment
Lets loose from deep within

And it’s sort of freeing
When at last we conceive
All the things we were blind to
The things we wanted to believe

Makes it easier to move on
And let go of the past
To discover new avenues
That may conceivably last

It all starts with intuition
And listening to your gut
For that’s the only way
To determine what is what

She can write for days…

sadness

She can write for days
In a teary-eyed haze
And the more sadness that develops
The more ink she craves

And she sits in awe of the power
Of a good hard cry
Wondering how tears seem to cause
Such sorrowful thoughts to finally die

Friends

human-1923298_960_720

They disintegrate like ash
Fluttering away on lofty breezes
I am nothing and they are always something
Something glittery and unattainable
Pieces of a whole that I will never have
Parts of a picture-perfect world that I will never see
There for a split second in time
Then drifting away at warp speed
Friends are often like that
Hold them close while you can

The only real truth

tree-247122_960_720

I see you in all there is
Your glory abundant in countless ways
And even when I feel so lost
You brighten up my darkest days

I’ve tried my whole life
To turn from the path you laid out for me
And on days like this I remember
You’re the only real truth that I can see

Just let them go…

If someone refuses to love you
It’s pointless to wish it so
Best to shrug your shoulders
And finally let them go

And if they come back to you
It’s best to set them free
For a heart that refuses to love you
Can never really be
