Star shaped leaves
float from the trees
slow motion accentuating-gravity
we are made of stars
and water
each moment a heartbeat closer
to happy ever after.
Kissed by tears and laughter
messy blessy life
every moment like a marathon
every heartbeat marches on
the wind whips the earth
ground squeezes closer
the seasons turn
there are no losers
only searchers
pilgrims of the new day
We are raw and new and sometimes scared
yet we make our way.
Fighting fate
accepting the answer
discovering what was always within
discovering the courage to begin
childish footsteps reach to understand
facing a new season
with outstretched hands.

It amazes me
How many times people are wrong in the world
Yet wisdom and righteousness still stands like a motionless statue
Tall erect unflinching.
Beautiful in its certainty
Unmoved by animosity.
Im not always correct
Im not always wise
But who I am
Today,  tomorrow and the next day
Is legitimately legit
And that won't quit
So take the inch of me
That you think you understand
And pick it apart with a microscope
Piece by piece with your hands.
Go ahead and undo what was done
Declare yourself right
Ill turn around indignant
Go on with my life.
