I think it’s finally happening.

I’ve waited for so long.

I can hear the cracking,

The chipping,

Of this world gone wrong.

So protected

Yet Neglected 

I have been.

But a new life awaits,

Wanting to begin.

I am ready.

I am strong.

To take on the world

And find where I belong.

Beyond my shelter.

Away from home.

I am not alone,

I am on my own.

Once the music starts

There’s not much you can do.

You can fight the beat 

But it will defeat you.

It will bind your mind

Until you choose to unwind.

So let the emotion swell

Until it shatters your shell.

Don’t think of regret

Or the mounting fear.

They’re no longer a threat

They can’t interfere.

So let the fire ignite

And then claim your right:

This is your time.

This is your night.

I walked several miles to reach the oak in the field.

I was surprised to find what time had concealed. 

Left for years the plant had grown

Unbothered, unbroken, but not alone.

The tree was now a forest

With roots stretching far,

Holding up branches

That reached out towards north star.

I laughed a little bit

And even shed a tear 

Because it was on that very land,

That our love first appeared.

The seed became a weed

That spread on it’s own

Beautiful in a way

And spectacularly overgrown.

This day has been a dream

And I’m feeling deja vu.

This story and this theme

Don’t seem similar to you?

My thoughts are in a mess

As I walk through the crowd.

The lights are too strong

The people too loud.

It seems time goes on endlessly

With faces and shadows surrounding me.

But if I am destined to a life in repeat

I’d spend it with you.

My soul complete.

You are the echo I want to hear

Day after day 

Year after Year.
