'First, It Means That You Will Be Happy If You Are Doing Your Thing -- Not Necessarily Achieving Excellence,

'First, it means that you will be happy if you are doing your thing -- not necessarily achieving excellence, simply reaching for it -- in a life that allows you to do so. But, it also means that happiness is something we all deliver to ourselves.'

I want to melt your layers of snow

and uncover where your flowers grow

from the wounds and scars you try to conceal

But I hope you know its okay to feel

All those raw emotions too

when you feel you can't get out of bed

in your shades of red and teary blue

Know all you feel is a part of being real

And give yourself some time to heal

The days are spent in glory and sun

until rain casts its violent shadow;

a storm to herald a setting moon

and bring life again, glory again --

                                  -- it will be here soon

Overthinking

I dream in hurried whispers

frantically calling for settled peace

amongst troubled thoughts

and empty seats

crowded by a droning babble

forever in a constant struggle

I claim only ease

in my own troubled company

watching their restless words

clamour for attention

over nothing but an empty dream

It’s quite nice to spend a while dancing through time

suspended in its ticking hours and days 

forever a breath away from endless moments
