Let Go and Not Fall

Able to stand yet not willing to leap
wanting to jump but my footing I keep

To risk shattered heart or be busted and broken
not sure of the price for offering my tokens.

I'm poor in success of the strength that I lack
to not offer my pearls or keep them held back.

watching him live within her arms
knowing he gazes on her favored charms.


The torment within raging throughout my veins
wanting to pull on the bridle, but instead drop the reins.

no understanding of life's intercept
many nights wondering why as I lay and I wept.

How long should one heart really endure
with feelings so raw and emotions so pure?

Wanting to run at a speedy rate
and to rescue from a self created fate

is there no way to let go and not fall?
must it be everything or nothing, winner take all?

I play the fool this truth I know
my addiction is fixed to see his smile glow.

I fear I have failed and fallen from grace
never to own the smile on his face.

Steady and stable, reinforced where there's slack
his measure of caring brings my soul back on track.

taking all of the portion he has for me
knowing there's more of what I failed to see.

Believing his call isn't fate in the wind
knowing such treasure, my heart starts to mend.

Strengthened and confident, tall and elite
wanting to jump yet, my footing I keep.

Contemplate Eternity

How can you contemplate eternity?
For it has forever existed and will ever exist.

From our first cries on earth to our last breath
Back into eternity our spirits came into being
Long before it rests within the body we host for it.

Eternity is never changing and never stayed.
Yet it is ever changing and always stayed.

Eternity is with us with each waking moment
And each sleeping hour.
We hold hands with eternity as we
Dance in the sun and rain and cry through the joy and pain.

Eternity influences our choices that map our earthly course
with its twists and turns that lead through the roads of life.

Sometimes, those roads lead us to nowhere.
Other times it leads us to a placid lake mirroring the creator’s
reflections of his personal artwork.

Eternity claims us during our hurt, weary, anxious or ill times
It seems to escape us in times of laughter and peace yet it remains
Constant each moment.

We travel along this earthy existence forgetting that
Eternity indeed is our constant companion:
as we are now, As we were before and as we always will be.

Numbers cannot account for its magnanimous existence
Nor can a clock stop its fortitude in perseverance to carry on.

You may not see, feel or hear eternity
Eternity has never or will never cease to exist.
We, you and I, are eternity and just like eternity we will always be.
