The promise of change...

I believe in change
no matter how scared it may be
the final outcome is usually for the best

And when it feels like it is not
It is usually meant
to be proven with time

When you look back to see
just where you would have been
had change not taken place

I believe that change improves our lives
and without change
we remain stagnant
unaware of the cycle ceasing to turn

When you hit that wall
that brings us down
screaming for change
has already begun...

Tunnel Vision

Sometimes the ticking of the talk
erases clarity throughout
my thoughts...

Confused and dazed
I shuffle about
managing tasks of
mindless aims...

Sometimes the ticking of the talk
reminds me there's a lesson taught
focus on the task at hand
forget about the chattering plans

Sometimes when there is plenty
to say
controlling your steps
are the course you should pave.

Burrrrr.....

I'm sitting here freezing....
thinking of Spring
basking in the heat of
the sunshine
planting my flowers

So close, yet so far away
as I am chilled to the bone
contemplating another heat source
while I type away...

Part of me is glad
that I need time to sort my way...
close out the Old Year
before the New takes it's claim!

There's an Island
calling out my name...
changing residence
might be my new campaign.

When Time Runs Out..

I think of all the times
I knew...
that what you chose
to tell me
wasn't true...

I couldn't face
that my heart was
compromised...
Better to know the Truth
that breaks us apart
than the lies that bond us...

I think of all the times
I knew...
that emptiness
that I'd been screwed...

How hard it was
to watch the smile
that plastered your face
with untold grace

I think of the time
I shut the door
and walked away
I knew this scorn
would resemble
my everyday...
