What Will Be
Sometimes the only thing we know about the Future is that it’s coming.
Don’t allow your thoughts of the Future to be marred by Past events.
What do you want to be and what will you do to see it happen?
As long as I have hope I will continue breathing;
and as long as I’m breathing I have hope.
Rather than anxiously worrying about
what the Future holds, I
live one day at a time
(free from regret,)
keep breathing,
and anticipate
the best yet
to come…

Transition
the disrespectful moon
shone bright despite the black
the utter cold of night
could not hold it back
then stars as sparkling rain drops
spanned across the atmosphere
the darkness, in utter shock,
was forced, itself, to fear
the constellations kept watch
through a luminescent night
till the subtle sun rose slowly
to restore the brilliant light

Time
It’s speed is in direct proportion to how strongly we enjoy life, it seems.
It’s as unstoppable as it is priceless, yet often killed unaware.
It’s as mysterious as it is obvious, yet so often wasted.
It will not end and it effects everything.
It can be redeemed.

Simplicity
“The quality or condition of being natural…”
“Freedom from artificial ornament…”
“The absence of complexity or intricacy…”
____________________________________________
The past is the past; what’s done is done.
We are part of a battle that’s already won.
Let Him have His way. Take your hands off the wheel.
It’s much harder than following how we think or feel.
Don’t fight what goes right, or obstruct it’s flow.
Embrace the simplicity.
Let anxiety go.

Remember…
When the clock is wrong, yet the time is right,
and you do all you can to get through the night.
When the table is set (but no one’s there yet)
and your hope is beginning to cave in to fret.
When your mind and your heart are so far apart
that your physical body doesn’t know where to start.
When the cards are stacked and all your stuff’s packed,
but you’ve turned the ignition and your engine is cracked.
When what you’ve known all along appears to be wrong,
and confusion has kidnapped the words to your song.
When you’ve driven all night to get where you’re at,
but you made a wrong turn and forgot the way back.
Remember…
Keep breathing, move forward, and never give in;
for all that’s without can’t defeat what’s within.

Mister Moose
Enter Señor Valdez,
the Mariachi Moose.
Whenever he speaks
it’s fast and loose.
So instead he strums
on the strings of our hearts.
When he hums, the universe
blows into twelve parts!
With a style all his own,
and a strange hat, to boot,
his legend is known
from Greece to Beirut.

Adrift
darkness all around me
with no trajectory in sight
I drift toward my destination
through the solitude of night
while tranquility escapes me
I find myself wondering why
when and where will I know
if my purpose passes by
with loneliness to the left
and frustration to my right
eyes run wildly to and fro
for evidence there’s light
ejected from this galaxy
and all I called my home
I wander toward my destiny
and realize I’m not alone
for though we seem to wander
nothing and no one to our name
we’re united by the fact that
our Creator is the same
and if we were sent in this direction
however uncertain that it may seem
we’ll see every word accomplished
and the fulfillment of every dream
[Inspired by the hundreds of billions of planets without orbit drifting through space…]

Confession Booth
Just thought I’d say I tend to like to write. I tend to like to use, learn, and hear words. I hate water. I love mint water. A lot. I live mostly on a liquid diet. I don’t know why. I just do. 90% of it is highly-caffeinated. Just thought I’d mention I tend to be somewhat critical. I wrestle cynicism and sarcasm daily. I also tend to be sort of an over-analyzer. I hate sleeping. It’s a necessary evil that I’d rather opt-out of. Music captivates me. I can just sit - and listen. If it was not for time, I wouldn’t even stop. It takes you places, it breathes inspiration, It joins all irrational/rational emotion and feeling together and teaches them to get along. Just thought I’d let you know I disguise my Pessimism as mere Realism. I walk the line between choosing to expect the worst and choosing to expect the best (and hoping that’s what happens.) I am far from perfect, yet I still work towards becoming so. I am far from satisfied with where I am, yet I won’t just give up. I am far from in control, yet losing control is a part of the solution. I am far from who I want to be, yet have habits still needing broken. I loathe talking on the phone. I love talking with people in real life. I am one of the most “socially-networked” individuals I know. I am also, however, one of the most detached individuals I know. Detached from? Popular opinion… Acceptable… Normality… Expected… Reality… My favorite colours are black, grey, silver, and sometimes white. I prefer to only ever wear black slip-on leather shoes (religiously accompanied by black skinny ties, black polyester-blend pants, and cotton black ankle socks.) I am - quite possibly - the worst driver. Period. Okay - maybe the most reckless driver. I hate ruts, repetition, routine, and rigamarole. I love journeys, adventures, the unknown, and surprises. The past 9,130 days of my life have been riddled with unforgettable moments, moments better forgotten, lessons learned, lessons to be learned, utter rebellion, unrivaled obedience, love lost, love gained, and the Unknown. I don’t believe in coincidence, happenstance, or accident. I try to live and learn from every page in the book of life. I absolutely refuse to be regretful or unforgiving. There’s a little about myself. All sales are final. No refunds.
Dream. Believe. Do.
