All that could be used to be a thing to past time.
But today I just want to talk and be in the present.
But I know to reach out seems like I’m hoping for something more.
Like a dream that won’t ever come true for it really isn’t meant to be mine.
For I’m doing what I need to do even if the support I have isn’t yours this time.

in peace and in sunlight all at the same time has felt so refreshing as things have not always been so great.
The lavender fields are my favorite place to go when the days are nice and I just want to lay around and relax with the hope of things becoming peaceful.
The field goes on and on and it gives me hope that some days may be long but they will end too and the blessing will come again.

Let’s go on the boat and let me play you a song that will make you forget.
Everything as music becomes your purpose and desire.
My mind goes blank and I become one with the song.

risk it and follow my dreams
Or should I play it safe and not going anywhere to fast.
Did I make the right choice and walked through the door that is and will get me farther in my life.
Or did I choose a path that is going to leave me wanting more and yet still not able to grab it?

So long since I’ve seen you
And I feel so nervous as I’m different now.
I cut the long hair you loved and got colorful tattoos.
Showing a side of me
I’ve been wanting to show-off but was afraid too.
And all you did was smile and accept me.
Making me feel like I wasted time worrying about nothing.
Now time to make this last for as long as I can.

Let me go
And let me move to my own steps.
Maybe our paths will cross again but let’s not put too much faith into the unknown.
I know nothing in life is perfect.
But we always want to get as close to doing something great all the time.
We want to move to our own drumbeat.
We want to get lost in the music we love to dance too.
So we are calm and become one with ourselves.
Letting the music carry us to new levels of hope.
Only to let it all go again.

Ever going to figure this out.
I want to say more than I’ve said in the past to you.
But I don’t want to scare you away
For the unknown is just so deep and right now so inconsistent.
I’m not ready to let you in completely.
Because I’m haunted by memories of my past.
From a similar situation that didn’t go so well.
I know I have to move on and give you a chance.
But right now it’s hard for me to break away from those chains that are holding me back.

This week we are “writing away, and having a play, with rhyming words for you today” with Rhyme Time.
Our rhyming words this week are:
She was saved by God
so that she could be brave
enough to go into that cave
and to wave
to everyone she loved and gave
her supplies to survive so that she wouldn’t end up in a grave
that day.

My name and I look your way
And I wait for what you have to say.
But nothing seems to come out your mouth and so you look away.
And I stare at you, for I guess I expected more.
I wait for you to turn back around just a little longer than I should have.
For you didn’t turn back or even explain why you called my name and looked my way.
But it was clear you had just wasted my time and energy.
When I had better things to do before you distracted me.
And a part of me was mad and irritated that I had even entertained the fact that you had anything to say to me.

Do I keep my frustration down as I feel like your picking and choosing to well respond.
And how do I not respond back with anger and inpatient.
I look back and I know that this isn’t worth fighting about and I won’t go out of my way to attack you.
But, do I settle on the matter just to keep the peace.
Or do I stand my ground and prove I’m worth more than what I seem.

Me to close my mouth
For you don’t want to hear what I have to say
You only want to see me and look at the eyes you love so much.
For you know the words that will come out my mouth will be the truth.
And in the end you will be hurt not me but if you want to prolong the matter.
Then I will let you have it your way one more time before I walk out that door and leave my words and you behind.
This time around.

Look again at how your dealing with life
And everything going on around you.
You begin to wonder why you were ever focused on the wrong things.
And that it is now or never to start focusing on the right things.
And not just for yourself but to help others as well.
Maybe this enlightenment was what you needed to realize that getting older is going to be different but worth the journey.
Whether it’s good or bad for something will come of it.

For the first time in a long time
To just take a walk and let the sunshine down on me.
But, every corner I turn more people appear and maybe before I wouldn’t mind.
But now everything is not normal so to see so many out as everything slowly opens up again.
Wasn’t something I was ready for with the virus still out there.
I quickly turned around and said goodbye to the walking around the neighborhood.
For I now know the risk is way too great to talk a chance on.
This thing is no joke and I for one don’t want it.
So back inside I go to hopefully see another day and maybe one day the normal things will be just that again.

Know that when you’re bored that my life then becomes interesting to you.
Questions after questions as if I’ve mentioned I’m not happy.
When I’m fine and you’re the one who seems miserable.
But, I won’t second guess my life and how it’s going because I’m happy and life is good.
New changes and we’ll I feel I made the right choice this time around.
For the long haul and now it’s like you want to turn my life upside so we can be sad together but I won’t go down that dark path again.
For this is the best it’s been for me and I’m not giving up these good times.

To a place that makes me feel safe
And whole.
While everything around me is so unknown
And new and slightly complicated.
So much to learn and so much to know.
I want to know more and be more but I’m growing tired and worried.
