I Am Sailing To A Better Place

I am sailing to a better place,
With the wind in my hair,
Wrapped safely in the ivory folds of a sail
While the rolling currents lead me.
I am scared, and
Curl up in the bottom of my boat,
Scared to watch the tossing waves
That roll my boat from left to right,
Choosing my fate.
I hope I end up in a happy place
Where the sun shines
And there is no such thing as heartbreak,
But it doesn't matter if I don't,
Because when I am sailing,
It really is all about the journey
Where I must face myself
On the rolling seas

Letting Go

Letting go…So much harder than it sounds. First a vision of a God on a throne, next a marriage. Crumbling identity Lost, alone on the edge of the abyss And then what is this.

Light ...dark.

Search all you may for the light in paradise.. While all the time pretending there is a hidden prize. Run run , run all you can, Chase behind the forgotten mist behind that summer van.

Butterfly Flutter-by

This little butterfly is ready to be set free. To be the butterfly she ought to be. To see the things a butterfly ought to see. To explore the world and all it's glory.
