Love

To admire beauty without envy is love:

To lie in the darkened garden to hear the song

Of the unseen nightingale is love:

If you would hold a knife to your heart

To spare another, that is love:

To love is to give everything away for nothing,

To open your house to the dark stranger:

The world is a pit of fire and shadows,

Those who love throw themselves into it wholly:

Ah my heart, only you know best

How love is the mortal flesh burning in darkness.

-The Crow

I sit here, and I realize I am doomed to the forbidden. tiers run, and I fold forever and leave.

Ripple in the Clouds

You walk out a door,
The breeze is fresh you can almost feel the rains coming
you look up to the sky
mountains loom before you.
and as If the mountains had touched the clouds
there is a ripple
Just a drop and the waves of clouds bring awe-inspiring moments.
The wind soon soothes the clouds
and just at that moment the rain falls upon you
clearing your thoughts
colors deepen with feeling
the sun brakes through
on its way to rest
brightening the mountains with orange rays....
and all I can do is think of you.

Broken heart made hole by two

There was a man I gave my heart to,
he took it and declared in unfit,
the heart shattered in to millions as he let go,
My hands could not heal the heart,
so I kept it hidden form all for a long time,
but one day I fond a friend,
I dared to open my hands that held my shattered heart,
and let me tell you it was not pretty nor amazing,
he took it peaces in all,
and covered it with his warm hand,
he kept it for a wile studding it,
and when he gave it back,
it was hole but it was not just my heart,
it was his intertwined with mine,
for only true love could bring,
my broken heart in to one,
I held it in mine hand like he had,
then it leaped into the emptiness in my chest,
and started beating,
and so it beats and not only,
for myself but for him,
so, only two can be made into one,
and then only love,
can make a broken heart hole.

Now Is The Time!

For a moment think of now, not the past nor the future for they may hold darkness for some. Now. The presont or as they say a gift. You can always find something amazing like the sound of a bird or a cloud that made you think, or the warmth of the sun, a fall leaf that caught your eye, a bare tree with sparkling snow. my point. Start now to find the bright side of life. Now is the time to grow, to live, to be happy just because you can. In this happiness you just might find that the future isn't as dark as you thought before. Start laughing about putting the milk on the bookshelves and the pants in the fridge. make it a good fun day. Now is the time, so start being who you want to be today. Live for the moments that take your breath away. Now is the time start loving life. You will change the way you see and that will change the world.

My Moment

I am but a small person in a big world. My life is just a moment in time a fleeting gleam in a sea of stars that beat upon the lands. Is it time to live for others for it is told that love, charity and faith bring the greatest power and that means selfishness and hate is weakness. Is it my moment to give myself up to the power of faith..... I know its all word for now... it is harder to put them into action. My moment. my small time. To make this world maybe just a bit stronger, just maybe. if I can. My moment if I can make it not for me but for others.

sometimes control is hard to find

I sit thinking.... then out of the blue my heart stars to race... I bring my hand up hoping that it might help me find control. thoughts of you tend to do that. what must I do I no longer can sit I have to do something... I turn a switch and music courses through my body but it does not quite do what I had hoped... no.... it takes me higher and I find myself dancing..... Now what... how am I to control my thoughts and heart. I must do what I have been taught to do throughout out my life.

here it comes the time to go for drives and think of important things like good friends and family. The rain falls turning the days cool, and you know fall is just around the corner. Fall fall is it the time to fall? questions that have to be answered and futures to be planed. hoping you don't mess up and make the wrong chose. Time to find yourself humble.

Life As a Pebble

We don’t always remember where we came from but we all remember the splash. It could have been when we started making decisions on our own, taking charge, and we found that those decisions made ripples. Before we knew it we were sinking into the beat of life. We'd find ourselves sinking fast into darkness as life pulls us from trial to trial. Then it happens, we hit rock bottom, making us feel alone, accentuating the darkness around us. As time goes by life has moved on and hope springs in to our hearts as light brings meaning to where we are. We begin to see that we were far from alone and we may feel insignificant, as if we are one star in the great see above, yet we start looking closer to find that other pebbles are encircled around us. You reach out to them with all your strength and find you are changing. For one can not touch another's life with out the other touching yours. We change with every pull of life we become smoother as we grow from those around us. We try to be the best we can be and in doing so we become the beauty in life itself.

stories

have you ever listened to a melody to find that you have created a story I have many, many times. music tells the stories that are only for you. the stories of hope, love, work, and life the stories we never see.

my eyes can find what they need to my heart sits with it for ever and ever

If you will

My heart is thinking of every moment that I have brought to be humbled in the eyes of my God and my Heavily Father. I do wish I could say that I do not need to be humbled but the truth is I do not need it every day, but every moment. I need to remember why I have been put here. The more I learn, the more I know that I need help from some divine loving God that knows me so well he that he shows me where I need to grow. He also knows my heart well enough to know that I can not go through out this life with out hope. So He gave me those people in my life that never give up on me. those people who love me even though they have seen me at my worst. If you will be grateful for something just look around you at the earth, at those people that are always there for you. Yes He humbles me, but I need this blessing of these moments. A time to reflect upon those things I could change to be one good woman. to be kind, loving, forgiving, and helpful to those I come in contact with. this is my prayer. To touch one life. as so many have touch mine for the better.

Think About It

Think about it if all you did was to impact people with your actions then do you not think that we should be more aware of what we are portraying and think what our influence is doing to this earth.
If I could just see myself through someone's eyes then I think I would know for sure what I could do to better myself. This is why I am my worst critic, this is why I put myself down, for if I become too in rapture with myself then how will I lean for the better. This is the way I am, and only I can change me. I am who I am, but I mush change for the better.

Heros in my Life

If you start thinking of all the people that have touched your life you may find that there are a few that you would conciser a hero in your life, someone who never gave up on you, who still was your friend when all was going wrong, who sees your "bad side" of you and yet still loves you. There are your family who is always there even tho you don't always treat them wright. Then there are the ones who like you for who you are and for some reason they still seek you out every moment they have, and to this I wish to tell. Once a upon a time there was a girl who had felt that no one wished to speak to, you could always find her though if you look where the silents was found. one day she started writing on a page thinking that no one would care to read. weeks went by but then one day she found someone who did read here rantings of life. He was kind and seem to really care so she wrote to him and he wrote back months went past and they both felt like that they trusted each outer dearly. it was like finding someone that fit a puzzle in your life. He became a true hero in my life, and even to this day he has made an impact in my mind. Hero someone who is always there, who never stops listening, who knows when something is wrong, and who wants to help no matter what.

Too long.... hmmm

Time is a funny thing, right when you think that you have it under control turns out you don't.
so you sit and try and find just when you lost it all. funny think is I don't remember ever really having it.
It has been a long time sense I've been here, went to Snow College for a little bit found some "friends" only to find they left with the once winter came. broke my heart really but what can I say its normal my fault for I am reserved (so my twin cousin says) but I think he is wrong, I think I'm too reserved and can't get over the fact that when ever I think I have found a true friend they flee from me as soon as I start trusting them. Witch is why I started to rely more on what I can't see or what I can't have. There are very few people who really understand what you say to them. well at least this is how I see things and truly I hope I'm wrong, but more and more people show they don't trust and with that it shows the disrespect of today society. We get stuck looking for someone who will listen and understand and yet still respect you fully. one day all the lies that people tell just to get what they want will come unveiled and they will see them selves for what they truly are.
