When was the last time you stopped
to notice
the smell in the air
the presence of silence

When was the last time you stopped
to notice
the smell in the air
the presence of silence
I long for the days
I got excited
by letters from you
Just because it’s raining,
doesn’t mean that the sun can’t shine any minute.
Just because today is long,
doesn’t mean that tomorrow won’t be fun.
I get mad
Mad at love
Mad at its display
Mad at its photos
We were perfect
a match approved by the stars
and the whole galaxy
I saw you in my life
I remind myself to breathe
in, out, in, out…
I remind myself to smile
wide, wide, that’s it…
The year is coming to an end. I should be excited right?
I feel valued at work. I should be excited right?
I’m getting some time off work soon. I should be excited right?
You’re the air in my lungs
You’re my rain in drought
You’re my water in the desert
You’re the stillness in my heart
Save your thoughts
for someone who thinks about you
Save your worrying
for someone who worries about you
Embrace Joy. Deep, soulful, incomparable joy.
Embrace Love. True, unbridled, unconditional love.
Embrace Hope. Powerful, peaceful, unexplainable, hope.
It’s been a long year
consumed by many uncertainties
I’ve been sad
I’ve been scared
It’s just another lonely night
and time is taking its time
staring at the ceiling
something to pass the time
