The Whole Shebang

I caught a glimpse

momentarily

of what could be;

the potential of

the whole shebang.

Another kindred spirit

mislaid,

lost too in a familiar life.

Shared dreams, aspirations,

distanced

by circumstance,

united by certainty,

by the belief

that there is so much more…

Mediocrity,

alien

to us both.

Continually searching,

connected

purely by thought.

Universal Threads

My bad days, are the good days

Of the time that has passed

Without denying my feelings

There’s no emotional fast

 

Sadness still visits

But no longer makes its bed

Doesn’t take root in my heart

Nor try to squat in my head

 

The pull of what was

No more dictates the result

Face to face with my fears

It is my choice to exalt

 

I am learning to trust

That I am where I should be

The outcome released

I love and trust just in me

 

None of us are separate

We do not stand alone

Connecting to everything

Universal threads being sewn
