another day

another photo

another moment.

And maybe those things don’t matter for you for your not in that day or photo or moment.

But, still you start to wonder what was going on with her in that moment  or that photo and wow look at the natural lighting that is shining through that day.

And then you begin to appreciate that moment and that photo and make the time to look at more or go out a capture your own moments.

I want

to just feel the breeze as spring finally arrives.

Layers are no longer something to deal with as the sun is out and the moods of everyone is so light.

And were all floating around as light as a feather with no worry in the world.

And I look up and thank the lord today is so great because without his help the light would never come.

Now if only each day or every other day could be so great.

What

do I say to you as time goes by and I feel  nothing but resentment towards you.

Is it best for me to just stay away and hope these feelings will go a way over time or is it something that will only get worst if I try to handle it on my own.

I know that I have to make a decision soon because I can’t keep living like this when I know that even if I didn’t come back you wouldn’t have noticed anyway.

So length of time won’t matter if you hear from me or not because you won’t check.

So maybe one day I will reach back out again but for now I just don’t want to resent you and so we have to talk now and be done with the deal.

I haven’t

Japanese’s Garden in Portland

so much beauty in one place in a long time and as I stand here looking at all the colors and just wonder what it would be like to see this almost everyday when the weather is good.

To sit underneath this tree, to sketch this tree to take a great picture of this tree to be able to just say I saw this tree.

The experience alone would be worth seeing and being in the moment when you thought you had seen it all.

But, this tree proved you wrong and no matter how much you tried to draw, paint this tree it just never really shined the beautiful way this tree does captured by cameras but your eyes will not ever forget it.

Lake McDonald  Glacier National Park

 

many decision need to be made but right now all I want to do is look out at the lake and then look down at all the many different rocks.

And wonder just how many are they and see how many different colors are laying down in front of me right now. 

This spot is where I go to be alone and to just write with no distracts as I know I have much to get done and not a lot of time right now. 

I want and need to get lost behind the words that flow from my mind to my finger tips as I write it all down and reflect on it before hitting save or send or published.

I am

one with myself as I lost myself to the nice feeling of the sun on my back.

And the feeling of the sand through my fingers and just knowing I’ve been having such a great time.

But, on this day I just needed a moment to relax and let time go by for I hadn’t felt this relax in such a long time.

If only this moment could last a little longer I would be so grateful to experience more days like today.

I stand

Here fighting for what I’ve been raised and born to do.

I’m meant be a hard worker and to not give up when things start to fall all around me.

I try so hard to get it done but, I’m only one person trying and fighting to get it all done.

But, lately it feels like I’m falling short every turn that make.

Nothing can help me from making this mistake as I’ve already stepped into a role I didn’t need to own in the first place.

To stubborn to just admit that this isn’t for me and move on from where I am at right now.

Instead I stand here dragging others down with me as the stress and complaining from me  keep coming my and your way.

Melt

away like all the snow from yesterday.

Until there is no trace of all the things you have complained about playing back in my head.

Just let go and enjoy the moments for everything can change in a second and all you have complained about won’t matter.

So much to look forward too but, not enough time to truly just enjoy it.

Unless you just drop what doesn’t make you happy and pick up what you always wanted to do and explore it.

Until it’s your time and even when your gone you will still live on inside the people you have touched with the kindness you always let shine through it all.

Like

a bird you came into my life unexpectedly.

You turned everything that seemed so out of sync back in sync with me.

It was like the lost piece of me that I thought I’d never see again came back to me with upgrades I didn’t think I needed or truly wanted to accept.

For change has always been hard for me and being alone was something I had gotten used too.

But,you gave me hope and love again and I didn’t think I would ever have them again and trust that it would all workout again.

Things have been looking up even when so much is falling down all around me.

Coming

up from my darkness days 

only to find the light is shining so brightly. 

There isn’t a moment when I want to go back

for I feel so alive and there is no baggage that I have left to carry around. 

I feel light and at peace and this moment doesn’t feel like it will just last for a day 

but possibly for a lifetime this time around. 

But, I will try to be hopeful but not put all my eggs in one basket for it could all go back the way it is the next week. 

To hope that the day will be light and joyful and the darkness will stay inside and not come out and play again.

Don’t make

me choose what I need to do right now.

For even though I feel like I have the answer it’s clear that I don’t.

What I want to happen may not happen as the darkness that surrounds my life swallows me whole once again.

The feeling of knowing what I am supposed to do vanish with the light that was protecting from the pain and sadness that overcomes me right now.

The path that I walk on is not clear to see and I feel like I’ve been walking in circles lately and no matter how hard I try there is no relief in this journey I am trying to go on.

The beating of my heart is all that carries me forward but the silence feels so not right as I push away the noise and lay down and hope when I wake up tomorrow things will be better and brighter on this side of my life.

Every

moment is precious

and yet there is always someone taking stuff for granted.

Every decision sometimes takes time to decide on but, some

just come to your mind and you jump without thinking it through.

You want to go through life not just affecting your life but others as well.

I know that we are all different and some of us work so hard that at the end of the day

when we hit the sheets we will have used up all that we had for the day.

We have our moments when laughter is around and joy is just shining so brightly through you.

All the stress just melts right off your shoulders and you forget that you’re at work and not just hanging around with some good friends.

The

last thing that I want to do is hurt you but how long can we drag this on.

I keep thinking about what I’m going to say to you but yet at the last-minute I

just close the message.

And overtime I will forget and move on and maybe I will be just too busy to worry about

how things are going for you.

I know that through social media how things are and so I keep moving forward and not worrying because you keep writing about what is going on and so I don’t bother to reach out.

I know I should try but the words that I want to say just won’t come out and even though I know they need to be said because I just can’t keep this going.

But, I feel like the guilt of knowing that I will hurt you is enough to stop me for saying what needs to be said.

But, the truth is I’m hurting too and it just keeps eating me up inside and I feel like I’m going mad if I hold it all inside any longer.

I need to let it out and be free from this and even though I so wanted to hold on to you for so much longer  I just don’t see how I could or even if I want to anymore for I know the way I feel about you isn’t the same anymore.

Oh

Spring how I wish you’d come soon because winter has stayed a little too long.

The cold is doing nothing but making everyone sick and slightly miserable  because of the cold.

We want to feel the sun shining down on us without the feeling of cold surrounding us.

The feeling of feeling good when being out in nature and feeling one with it.

The beautiful flowers blooming all around us and all you will  see is  nothing but green as you walk around town or when you visit other places.

You will want to walk around and play outdoors with no care in the world until you are tired and ready to go inside.

It feels

like something’s have come to their dead-end.

There is no way to go backwards in this friendship.

And there is no room to go forward and build on the now

for there hasn’t been a now since we stopped talking so much.

We just live our lives one day at a time and once in a while you pop up on my mind and I reach out but even that little of time doesn’t show how much we still care about each other.

Not knowing when or how it will end makes me feel sad but, I still have to live the live that was given to me so I don’t have time to sit and wonder the what if’s.
