It is interesting to live each day...keep faith.
Walking on Egg Shells
I can only be who you see.
Nothing more.
I can beg for forgiveness...
For not being more that that.
Yet, What would that change?
If you believe in who I am...
If you see me...
Then understand all the sacrifices that I have made.
I have sworn on my honor to give my self to a higher place,
And to remain within the power of my faith.
I would never betray you.
I would stand before you,
Just to keep you from falling into a darker place.
Please, do not make me walk on egg shells...
I am not that graceful and I will make a mess all over the place.

Just thinking....  Don't SettleWhat am I? Look into your heart and decide... Am I who you want? Or have I fallen from your grace? Don't settle... If you care at all about me, Then I ask that you never just 'settle' for me. I want to be your all. Sadness has hurt to many hearts. Perhaps, even yours... I don't play those hurtful games. If I don't give you what you want... Or just am not good enough then why do you linger here? Don't settle... I will hurt. I will bleed. The pain will fade and it will go away... Just don't settle... Don't make me be second best. |

Still thinking....
Swallow My Pride
Hold me through the night.
Find my conflicted heart and help comfort my pain.
Just need to have someone who cares,
Not a fantasy game to play.
Can't stop the tears...
Anger is often the same as pain.
Hurt through the soul...
Make you feel like you are insane.
Need a heart that cares.
Just to take a moment to tell me that someone really cares.
I often feel so alone...
It is not always fair.
I will swallow my pride.
No longer hold the sorrow inside.
Break down the walls that I always find refuge behind,
And let you see my second side.
I swallow my pride...
Just ask you to stay here if just for a second...
Long enough to make the pain subside.

Busy day... WindowsA soul. No walls. No reason to hide. Stronger words. No longer afraid at all. Chaos running in the world. Steady I stand. Will not fall, Hold you up if you have trouble trying to stand. Windows. Clear. I break the glass. Don't need to live in a glass cage. That time for protection has long passed. I stand. No fear. No pain. Treasure all my years. A small frame, Stronger than most that never had chose to last. I stand here. Not afraid of what shall pass. Windows... Now a pile of shattered glass. |

THE PEACE WITHIN ME
__________________
Light as air..I call your there...in tune we share...the love is everywhere.
Your moves are silently soothing and I feel you come through me.
Your essence remain...for love did stain my heart with your peace and I felt a release of sunshine and rain.
Doves glide along the blue skies above and I all hear is your song with love and tears... I will be loving you for years.
____________________________
Peace Sunflower Gypsy (Shawna)

I have been playing around with this work in my head...I decided to post it now that it feels done.
Darkened Skies
Waves of emotion fill the air...
Drifting the clouds in Heaven,
Like foam from the tides.
The skies have turned dark.
No star's can be seen in the skies.
No breeze can be felt across your delicate and pale flesh.
The moon had chosen to hide,
Within the larger darkened grey clouds.
Suffocating like a woolen blanket,
Drenched in the weight of a heavy rain.
I feel nothing...
I hear nothing...
I see nothing...
Yet, I can taste the sweet nectar of life all around me.
Looking toward the ocean skies,
I pray silently to myself.
Ask for God to give all of us here on Earth help.
I pray to see the beauty of another day.
Pray to have you see me.
What simplicity still does remain in the world?
My honesty.
I offer you my silent strength.
At your feet my heart still does lay.
I look toward the sky one final time.
I feel...
Rain begins to slowly come down,
It sends tear like drops down my face.
I hear...
The sound of thunder rolls lazily above.
I see...
Lightning sends a flash in the darkness of the night.
I walk away to find shelter.
Yet, am still watching the darkened skies from near.
