Rough Edges

Give me some time... to collect these scattered thoughts that lay on the floor just like the marbles that slipped my hand.

Give me some time to figure this out.

Within your world, you decide whether the rain falls, the wind blows, or the sun shines.

"You search for home"

You search for home in the smell between pages,

You search for home in warm sheets of your bed,

You search for home in the warm cup of coffee,

You search for home in the light that peeks in your window.

You search for home.....

You feel at home in the chatter of your friends

You feel at home at the dinner table with your family

You feel at home in the arms of your lover

You feel at home with yourself one afternoon

You become your home.

Something new

It's been a year now,

I bow you a goodbye and turn around

I'm not going to lie that I don't miss you anymore

But, that is just something I've got to live with.

I take my steps towards something new.

I can still feel your blessings from afar

Something new that doesn't include you

Something new that you can't see or talk about anymore

That something new is hollow without you now

But that's just something I have got to live with.

I wish you were here for my something new

Reading this made my day..... Thank you

“For, dear me, why abandon a belief Merely because it ceases to be true. Cling to it long enough, and not a doubt It will turn true again, for so it goes. Most of the change we think we see in life Is due to truths being in and out of favor. As I sit here, and oftentimes, I wish I could be monarch of a desert land I could devote and dedicate forever To the truths we keep coming back and back to.”
