Crack of Light

Follow the moment that captures your senses & refuses to fade away.

Follow the moment that captures your senses & refuses to fade away.

Standing at the doorway in between the cracks of light in the dark of the night.
A life waits, wanting to move on.
There is so little light, but what little there is shines so brightly.
It’s hard to ignore the little things.
For every massive wave, there is a minor ripple that follows.
It occurs in the ocean, in light, in sound & even within our own humanity.
Follow the moment that captures your senses & refuses to fade away.
It will show you what to focus on.

Water & Oil

Drown out the tension & not the spark.

Drown out the tension & not the spark.

What spoke out to you laid silent in me.
A voice washed out to sea.
We hear the loud waves of emotion crashing.
Drown out the tension & not the spark,
because whatever rises to the top is what we become.

I Like Your Silence

 The space between your words speaks when words can't...

The space between your words speaks when words can’t…

I like your silence
And the volume at which it speaks
Its honesty emits a truth which words sometimes forget
The sound of silence can be deafening for some
Pregnant pauses become overdue until something must be said

You could be cruel
You could be kind
You could also be mistaken

You pick your pauses so carefully that what follows must be heard
Flooding our ears with unthoughtful words is on par with emotional pollution
Have a moment of silence
Breathe & stop
Wait & see
Choose your battles carefully

Your tongue rests with angels in spite of all the hell it could awaken
I may not always understand your silence, but I know where it comes from
Birthed in a place of patience
Raised with peace of mind
Learning to live with empathy, because somethings need not be said
The space between your words speaks when words can’t

For every speaker, there is a listener
For every word, one must be heard

I like your silence
I can still hear what you mean
I like your silence
When I can understand your heart

Here & There (Pt. 1)

Its hard being the one that’s always gone.
Its hard being the one that’s always here.
We see what we want to see.
Things aren’t so black & white when you live in the grey.
Two things define you.
Your patience when you have nothing & your attitude when you have everything.
So what are we to do?
