As I

reach to the sky, a rainbow appears,

lighting up my day, and I praise the lord for another great day ahead of me.

For nothing can ruin this moment that lights me up inside and has me skipping through life like no puddle is too big for me to handle or walk through.

That even if it pours, I will still have this memory to look back on and know that I can make it through the storm once I can make it through it again and again until the lord tells me it is my time to let go.

But for now I will be caution and try not to be so reckless while living with so much risk and love and good energy for I’m on a journey where I’m not ready to let go and I just want to keep going up and to never feel like I’m falling again.

So not

ready for the pounding to begin it starts out slow then

becomes so intense the ability to think is just not possible.

But, I have to keep going and sometimes it goes away quickly

and I put my headphones on and block it all out with the beat of such a great song.

I just don’t want another headache from the things in life that just get too loud when all you want is the quiet and the unscented air for too many fragrance brings the headaches too.

The day slowly goes by and soon night has arrived and you know you time is truly limited now as lights slowly go out and it is nothing but darkness all around and you go to close your eyes and you just know.

Something isn’t going to end right as the night is all around you and you can’t fight the sleep anymore and soon you are knocked out and the pounding is no more.

That night

We all got together to enjoy a great show after a long day at work.

We knew the time to relax and just move to beat and sing along was among us as we just enjoy this time together.

For we knew we would not get another chance to just forget about what life has thrown at us lately.

For things have been rough but we never stop hoping for things to get better if only we just had a little bit more faith this time around.

Words

come and go from my brain and each day I wonder will I ever run out of things to say.

Some days it’s nice to just not say any words at all.

Just listening and watching others sing or talk gives me some peace of mind .

It’s like talking all the time just feels up the space where silence is but, sometimes it just nice to be in the silence.

To not feel pressured to say something more just to make sure the other person doesn’t feel ignored.

Yet, It’s nice to hear what others have to say and just sit back and not have to join in the conversion for you have things to do and talking sometimes takes your focus off the task ahead.

So words please come and go for I know when you come it will be good and when you go that gives me time to work things out so when you come back what I say will be so much more intense and interesting to hear and read.

I need someone

on days when doing it alone just doesn’t work

When four hands are better than two

When laughter is better shared than echoing off walls and you are all alone.

When all you want is hug and hugging someone else is just what you needed

When dressing up is just more fun when you have someone else to dress up with

When you want to pick on someone there must be someone else that is your target

When you just miss that person and just need to see their face.

When it takes the two of you to cause the trouble you are just dying to cause

When the joke is just funny when you have someone else to hear it too.

I need someone else to continue to pull others into this so there is fewer people alone and more people together laughing so hard that they are crying.

For there to be more love and hugs then arguments and crime.

More peace than violence and a day beginnings good and ends the same way.

I need someone who is brave and willing to play along and take the risk that needs to be taken now with me to be there along the way.

Nights

when I’m dreaming and I’m running all alone but then you come along  my protector.

At first I was scared of you my gray wolf but now I look forward to seeing you at night.

Your eyes shine in the moon light and I can’t seem to look away.

Your teeth are so sharp and white and sometimes you run through the woods with a silly grin on your face.

You’re my companion and I enjoy our time together. The forest is a big place but I know you will always keep me safe.

No danger is big enough to stop you from protecting me.

The dreams seem to continue on every night and I hope they don’t end.

But then one day I woke up and went outside to get my mail and I saw you on my neighbors sons motorcycle and I knew I had found you in real life.

As I got to know Sean I realize he was having the same dream as me and now finally together our nightly walks are always just nice.

Safe when holding your hand as we walk on the trail  that leads to a wooded area, I never sense danger or fear anything for I know I’m safe with you.
