So Be It

When it gets dark
I am there
When it is light
There, I also will be
In the half light waking
in the fullness of the moon
reflected on the water
I am beside you

So be it

I'm always there
The way you walk with
me is up to you

So be it

If your chains keep us
apart
So be it
If your demons deal us
a
folded hand
So be it
I'll be there anyway

So be it

This is the way it is
Every smile, every tear
I see them all

So be it

I decided to love you long
ago
And so it shall be...for a
long time

Pieces Mastered

We've got this....
together
Like we always do
You and I

The human heart
a masterpiece of pieces
mastered
Over the walk of a
life
many miracles are
born in the heart of a
human
Born.....birthed, the soiled
diapers of despair
changed
Over and over
Until one day, our dream
is
potty trained!
Next mission.....
Bring on the sippy cup,
baby!

We've got this....
together
Like we always do
You and I

We see our dream walking
all  by itself
So proud we are
and rightly so
Not so very long
ago
We were up all night
taming the colic
Defeating the nightmares
Holding that dream so
safe in our arms
Till it sleeps sweetly like
the
precious lil
baby
it
is

A baby becoming a
grown up
Eventually.....

Another piece of the puzzle
of life
Mastered!
We muddle through one dream
at a time till we
realize
We have been birthed as
well
Welcome to the world....
mighty master of another piece
of life.....
Brilliant!

We've got this....
together
Like we always do
You and I

Change the diapers
Slay the boogie man under
the bed
Be the hero for your long
sought and realized
dream
And when it gets too heavy
Let me help, let me be
your hero
For I am a master of
pieces too!

We've got this....
together
Like we always do
You and I

Stand Up, Don't Give Up (A message for me from Dan)

 

 

"Don't lose heart"

he sang to me

Life is tough and full

of disharmony

Hold the hands

when they present

and feel them, still

when they fade away

Perhaps they will return

another day

 

Hold your head high against

the

winds so bitter

When your life is carted out

on a litter

Rise again, over and over

Hearts are resilient, my dear

When you find yourself on the

ground

in the rocks, looking for that

4 leaf clover

Remember, there is only one

way out of here

Up, stand up, don't give up

 

Keep listening to my wisdom

it will help when you're in

the dust

Light shines through the rainbow

prism

and one day, again you will

trust

In the love you know inside

yourself

Just like it was mine

It's your gig to help

others to know inner love

so fine

 

So, when you feel like falling apart

do it for a little bit

Then kick start your rainbow

heart

So once again you can do it

You can give more than

you receive

Out there in the storms of the soul

You will know what you have

always believed

The path of your own truth is

the only way you

can go

Life.....

Into his dry life, the rain had begun to fall. He felt surprisingly free in the uncontrolled downpour of her friendship, compassion and deep love. She gave to him and he did not run from it. He allowed himself to be supported as he had supported so many for so many years in so many ways. So often he was left at the end of the day, drained...knowing he had given his all, ready to do it again with each new sunrise. This was a pattern......he had grown accustomed to it. Never did it occur to him to ask for help, little did he know he never had to ask.

She was there, unconsciously aware that she was ready for their paths to intersect. A gentle meeting, on a seemingly typical day changed them both forever.

Through the joys, the soft and rocky journey, the pain and the passion....they chose to be beside each other...in the light, the dark, the twilight, the beginning and the end. <3
