Lessons and Healing

My friend called me last week and after a couple minutes, I knew something was bothering him. He told me he was returning flowers after being stood up by a girl he previously ended things with. She wasn't very nice to him during the time they were together and she did not add any positive aspect to his life. In fact, she made him miserable and did not appreciate him. I asked him what did he intend to happen with flowers anyway. She didn't deserve them. He stopped for a second and said "I was being nice." Although I said I'm sorry, I also had to be honest. I said, the flowers weren't for her, they were for him. When he responded, confused, I clarified that the reaction he expected was to help provide healing of his ego. He wanted her to validate a part of himself, he felt she took away. He wanted to convince her that she lost a great guy. I said, 'fuck her' and that in order for him to move forward he needed to dig deep and find his self worth. He knew who he was. He knows what he has to offer. More importantly, he knows that the only one in this situation that he needs love from... Is himself. My best friend called me the day after. She was catching me up and was explaining how she felt. She also shared something with me that she hesitated to say at first because it's not a-typical of her. She was slightly unsure and when she finished saying what she had to say. She asked what I thought. She was scared of what I might say or think. I waited a few long seconds and felt convicted to tell her that she did not need my approval. In spite of whether I agreed with her thoughts or not, I feel that my love for her surpasses my own opinion and that my support would always be there. What I'm making out to say is; I believe the success in growth for any soul is to heal any wounds we have. In love or life, work through pain or resentment in order to reach a higher level of vibration. More importantly, as you secure yourself, you also honor your intuition. We know when our heart is right. I take these lessons for myself as well. And I have no desire to settle for my own interpretation of mediocracy. Essentially, my wish for all, is happiness by personal definition.

Masked substance, I've been so inclined to reserve... My depth and honor. It is precious, and confined within me. What is my worth? What will my declaration give but broken seals. Purposeless chatter, unwilling grasp, too much for a frail basin. Fear has shut my mouth. I do not wish to spit the nullity of this life. Why? Instead, momentum strikes like the quickest bullet. Full of all my conviction, I regret to release. I yearn for its return, quietly at home in the reservoir of my incandescent flame.

That revelation came.

I smoke weed, I believe in things that are considered taboo. I am not society’s standards of perfection. I am a rare form of clarity. I believe in the raw expression of soul. I accept the idea of the perfect universe. Life is crazy. I love myself and love what God the universe, has given to my existence. I allow my feelings to naturally flow. I am real, and pray to exceed anyone’s expectations of what transcendence graces. We are here to accept progression of balance as time continues to course it’s way through existence. I feel the blessing of this moment, of this inspiration you have given me, the spark that was, still. I am willing to give and learn and love at the ultimate capacity. Maybe the Mercury retrograde is really bad timing after all.

Maybe we shouldn’t have regrets, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have them. Sometimes they live just as long as our lives. Sometimes, a ghost that comes and goes. The challenge comes with the willingness to wear them, like a badass tattoo.

The fog

I don’t miss anything but the fog. It hung so low that it graced the streets and enchanted the trees. The lamplight always seemed to be at the perfect angle. It was hard to breathe, even harder to remember your feet were still on the ground. It was always quiet, nothing but tree frogs and crickets. The slither of a cottonmouth. The pace of my step. The pant of my breath. The thump in my chest. The Stars were still clear, And I always felt their sound.

Drift

Sun, rise gently… Let me inch towards my strength as the tide begins to soften.

These waters offer no condolence, Just a ravishing front.

I came in rushing, I know. Enticed by those magnetic waves. Beautifully deceiving.

And now I’ve drifted back, smooth yet worn.

Redeeming the substance left, Recalling the dazzling specter… of my hopeful sentiment.

Captive

Hello, moon.

I am only a silhouette, A shadow dragging in the haze. Escaping… like a cautious breathe.

My straggling heart, Beats a sudden honor. I am your captive.

Hello… Moon, You beam… and of course, I bow.
