Time Slipping Away

I blinked and must have missed it

The time slipping away

I'm losing my mind.
I'm falling behind
I'm finding it hard
to stay in line.

I blinked and must have missed it

The time slipping away

Breathe in. Breathe out.
Let the rat race run out.
It only takes a moment to do.

I blinked and must have missed it

The time slipping away

Do what you need to do
but always take a moment for you.

Walk,Don't Walk,Yield,Stop

always take a moment for you

I blinked and must have missed it

The time slipping away

There's so much to do

 but I don't know why
I can't seem to finish 

no matter how hard I try.

I blinked and must have missed it

The time slipping away

Tired of all my responsibilities
Wish I could have a life of ease
Fortunate to not live in misery
No one said this would be a breeze

Here am I

I am here

Filling up on kindness

Awake yet dreaming

Asleep yet aware

I am here

Little idiosyncrasies

that say a thousand things

influence what I feel

I am here

So many choices
So many voices
So many words

I am here

at the dawning 

of a new day

I am here

Feeling lost
hoping to be found

I am here

Focused
Beloved
Ideal

I am here

Another day
Free to create

I am here

Another day
Free to celebrate

Adrift in Limbo

The wind blows

yet I feel no cold

neither do I feel

the heat.

 I am numb to 

its temperature.

I know it exists

because my

clothing shifts in space

but as to hot or cold

I do not feel a trace.

The sun rises;

is it warm upon my face?

I know the heat is there

in every radiant flare.

I know I should

be warm

but my body does not care.

I am here

and it is there.

The moon comes up;

a  soft, silent circle.

Is that the man staring

down at me

or just my sensitivity

to what I wish to perceive?

Moonlight clear and bright

bringing shadows to the night.

I am not filled with fright

nor do I feel delight.

Emotionless seems to be

my current plight.

Awake yet dreaming

constantly teaming

with incessant thoughts.

Asleep yet aware

of that I do not dare

make concrete

within my turbulent thoughts.

Adrift in limbo

my stance

akimbo

I need a symbol

on which to pray.

How do I get to 

where I need to go?

When will my path be
clear I need to know?

How do I get to 

where I need to go?

Time moves quickly

and yet I'm going slow.

How do I get to where I need to go?

Adrift in Limbo.

My stance akimbo.

The door seems closed,

please open a window.

Filling Up on Kindness

Filling up on kindness
letting go of grief
this is the way we should be
this is the best belief

Manners and common courtesy
need to make a return
There's so much
we all still have to learn

Giving of yourself
helps to revitalize others
when you help another
you truly help yourself

Manners and common courtesy
need to make a return
There's so much
we all still have to learn

Filling up on kindness
keeps one out of trouble
You'll find that when you do this
your happiness will double

Manners and common courtesy
need to make a return
There's so much
we all still have to learn

Filling up on kindness
we need to do this more
Filling up on kindness
a  path we should all explore

I am here

I am here

Trials and Tribulations

I've had to subside

Throughout this journey

no way to coast or to glide

There have been moments

my hands have been tied 

but through it all

I have faced it with pride.

I am here

Doubts and longings

have filled up my mind

All of these burdens

I must leave behind

Following a path of

my own design

I know that my world

cannot be confined

I am here

Crazy but not dumb

I am here

my feelings aren't numb

I am here

My path is not clear

but I can honestly say 

without fear

I am here

Day to Day Routine

You're still here and I'm still here
that says a thousand things
Who knew we could survive
the day to day routine.

Little idiosyncrasies
we didn't know before
haven't made either one of us
go running for the door.

You come in when I go out
and I come in as you go out
then we turn it all about
and go in and out together

Welcome Home
and How was your day
Words I've never really
gotten to hear or say
Are bringing me great pleasure

Will this last
I just don't know
but for now
we go with the flow
because...

You're still here and I'm still here
that says a thousand things
Who knew we could survive
the day to day routine.

Just a moment

Just a moment in my day
for a spot of creativity
nothing struck with divinity
just a little bit of me

Just a moment in which I say
however dull
however daring
I'm fortunate enough to say
I am thankful for the day to day
