Dreams and Right are Peace

Again, I awoke at peace with myself, and in harmony with you. A comfort that has its own pulse settles in my chest as perfect peace pervades my mind. It's becoming my favorite of times. The morning, when all my thoughts are new. I am inspired by my heart's journey to you. Completely fluid, I have no certain shape, I am flowing with and finding balance with my surroundings. I am calm, and at ease with myself, today. Just as I am. I'm finding my way. Sign in to see full entry.

Dreams Speak Truth

I woke up this morning, in love with the world, unable to keep myself from it's embrace. It makes it easier to be in the wrong place. To be in it, is enough for me. Part of it's pulse. One of it's streams. Today, I am a blue streaked with purple and tenderly stained with crimson. Myself, at peace with my need. Overflowing and content, I am gliding at my own pace. I am at one with what lies beneath me. I am touched by what is above. Swaying in the breeze, I am moved by the air between us. It's a... Sign in to see full entry.

My Heart Knows Right is in My Dreams.

Stop trying to murder my soul. I am not yours to kill. Don't hold me back or put me down. I won't allow you to tether me to the ground. You're beginning to see what I can do. You are terrified of my visions of truth. I am filled with faith. My heart is new. I will continue on. I have a lifetime left, awash in blue. Sign in to see full entry.

My Heart Dreams

Where does my heart go, when I sleep? Is it really mine? Always, to keep? I feel that it must leave, somehow. To meet with yours and live in now. A path that's known, and seeped in dreams. It's lined with memories of what we've seen. Softly they speak of what will happen today. Make their plans. Show us the way. And so, I ask my heart to leave. Meet with yours riding my dreams. I'm following the light that gleams. Sign in to see full entry.

A Lesson of My Own

I looked into eyes today that were cloudy, and dark. Eyes black and heavy with a sadness of now, and blurred with the tears not shed from his past. His soul is speaking with death. Oh, I long to comfort him. To show him the way. I haven't found the words yet. I don't know what to say. He was reaching for me, standing in my door. Somehow, he knows me. He can see what I stand for. I didn't realize what was happening until he was gone. I disappointed him. I denied who I am, and took the path of... Sign in to see full entry.

My Power, and Yours

Through my blue and silver eyes of truth, wrong is intensified in all it's discordant half hearted halting glory. Wrong in day, and in night. In mind, soul, home, and heart. What is left, blackened in my life. What you use as paint for your walls. In ridding myself from wrong, I find myself reaching for yours. I must wait. I am not worthy yet. I will be. I cannot speak to you about what I haven't done yet. I can only speak on what I've lived. And what I've breathed in from you. I have guidance... Sign in to see full entry.

Using my Knowing

To be me, and only me. But still a part of you. Balance, I'm striving for balance. In life, and in mind. Oh, but not in heart. My heart is running free, as I see that it's meant to. As it must. Without it, I am not me. And I am nothing to you. You wouldn't hear my voice, were it not for my heart. There is so much to see, to hear, to taste, to absorb from you. I haven't been giving you my full attention. If I truly listen, what will I hear? Remain open, and inhale your fears. Feel what's there,... Sign in to see full entry.

As I Know, I Grow

This living in truth...I can't lie to myself. I could, but it takes too much effort. I won't fight my heart again. My soul sweetly whispers encouragement with silent, melting words that glow with light. A warmth I hold, that lovingly carries me through. There is more of me, to give back to you.

My Knowing

In truth, I am the blue of water laced with silver, wrapped in clouds. Liquid, I flow with life. I drift with the tides, and keep communion with the stars. I inhale the wind and exhale my words. I am touched by what surrounds me. I feel my true self inside, stirred again by my heart. My knowledge, my vision, my power. My calling. In my state of truth, I can see my true fear. It isn't of failure, and it isn't of you. It's a fear of myself. I am only beginning to see what I can do. Once seen, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Onward, for my Soul

How many fears do you have? I've been haunted by shadows whom I wouldn't acknowledge. I've hidden away my nightmares and refused to remember them as they rotted and blackened with time. I have allowed hurt to kill what was growing inside me. I gave up my hopes and dreams before I knew them for what they were. Are you missing your own happiness? Fear, oily black with it's multicolored effects, oh, I know it. I've lived in it. I've tried to murder my own soul, and have choked what drives me.... Sign in to see full entry.

I am Ready

There are words I thought I never wanted to hear. Places I had barred myself from visiting, castles that I refused to build. I avoided sleep to keep from dreaming. I'd died, and stayed on, alone in my lost. But now, those words are mine. Mine to take. Mine to breathe in, mine to know. Words that are swirling in my mind, dripping from the air. I am ready for their song. They are meant for me, and I deserve them Sign in to see full entry.

I Don't Belong to You

Something was said to me... That I couldn't do something. But oh, I can. And I am. You have no idea what I'm capable of. But I see now, after reflecting upon your words... That it isn't yours to know. It never was, and it never will be. And I, am content with that. Sign in to see full entry.

A Living Heart Feels

Oh, this beating, throbbing, swelling heart. I lived without this? Do you? My heart is becoming bigger than I am. There are times when I am prepared for the overflowing, the ache...the need. And then there are moments when I am rocked with emotion, reeling from warmth, the rest of my body completely unwarned of the aftershock to come. I am vulnerable, letting my heart live like this. Letting what lies within breathe. Armor ridden, and open to hurt, it flows on. I am allowing what is to be,... Sign in to see full entry.

My Heart Lives

I feel oddly light, undressed and deliciously vulnerable. I'm flowing with the wind, and moving with ease. New, this living within my heart. New, and old, like I've been here before. But I haven't. Not during the time that is this chance at life. And I wonder...in the past, have I always lived in blue? In blue, I am natural, and can see my thoughts running in rivers. Fed from all directions and corners, these rivers carry the life they've churned up along the way. I wait here, to grasp what I... Sign in to see full entry.

Shedding my Armor

Armor. I haven't been wearing mine lately. It's been a long time since I've taken it off, if ever. Steely grey, light but thick, a barrier to protect me from you. And you, from me. I can't wear it, and move freely. I can't feel what the wind sighs and screams. I can only hear it's cries. And cry silently along with it. The day I took off my armor and hung it in the closet, I found my heart. My own heart. Long held still and lying in wait, it recognized me. Days, weeks, and years since we'd seen...
