Come Alive

I watched snow fall, flakes floating through freezing air, landing on window seals and gracing bare roofs with glittering cascades of white.

I'm beginning to believe what my ears hear and I'm trusting what my mind knows.

I'm following each guided step, letting my heart swim in a pool of gratitude. I'm letting go of what isn't meant for me, knowing what is mine will stay this time.

there are sunflowers growing out of my heart. even with the lack of the actual sun they stand, it has been dark, in stark contrast to what grows in me. honestly, that's what gets me out of bed. ironically i pay no mind to what made home in my mind, because all i want is to do my part and live a life full of heart.

Deciding Embers Vol. 4, 12.4.23 “Mothballed Lover”

Seek the flame and rebuke the shame Take the lighter way the easy way Life is a game And should be played with sift and sway At the end of the tunnel, though singed and scorched When fatigue amasses into slump Wings and dreams float like dog-earred books well-torched Warm words lead closer to demise, with haste candle-jump You may be burned and scorned and think to turn away But if you falter, flicker like the flame of love Be the free wedding-dove, as a midnight moth seeks the day Dawn will come, and with it, all thereof When nothing left, but passion burned, as fuel to fate The morning come, with light too late Do not, for fear let linger, wait Haste be thy foolish friend, er’ changed state

I turn away from days There is something callous in the moonlight, and so It colours the way To whatever hides behind closed eyes Inwards and incognito Channel surfing Revolving on a wrong axis Trees keep listening, still following the Sun Pointing to the omnipresent joke: Why do you keep feeding the creature you fear?

You

There’s a part of my town that’s almost like Michigan And it reminds me so much of you One street is the city you went to college And the other street is the first name of your mom Who I never got to meet But don’t worry, I’m not bittersweet Everything in my life Is exactly how it’s meant to be —Michelle Dana Sabado

There is a strong possibility that the birth of our connection, is the symbol of the loving friendship we grow;  You have just gone in my sight, and look now, I am missing you all this time;  I have to look for you in the pages of the book, and see if your name appeared, while I am passing through a hallway, I searched you in the reflection of strangers-   how your hair turned hazel brown, your eyes that has the part of the grey sky, as it transformed into sea-blue when you cry;  You said you were happy about the color when you feel sad;  You had this effect on me that brings the smile on my face, not even the roses can make me happy, but you made me lift up my feet;  Are you an inspiration or just a mere glimpse of happiness fading and soon to withdraw out of my humble wake again?;  Tell me, love, who could love you the way I do?
