Holding On And Very Still

Holding on and very still
Breathe light
Heart softly beating
And I will
Be careful to leave the earth
A better place because of me
I promise
I will.

Wandering now
Where I’ve never been

Seeking now
Things I’ve won’t begin

Leaving now
Thoughts I shouldn’t have held so tight

Gone now
From the darkest night

Flowing now
On a path not so straight

Holding now
Promise as I go to the light.

The Day Is Bright

The day is bright
With promise from the night
Fills my heart, my eyes
Which see a future
That’s right and mine
To honour.

Conquer those demons
Who want to take it away
Stay in the light
Let those terrors, worries float away
Vanquished by the brightness
In this, the brightest of bright days.

So What Is It That’s So Important?

So what is it that’s so important?
What makes you strive to be the one you want to be?
The one you need to be?
Is your goal, your need empty?
Or do you fill it with promise?

Does it matter?

Your goal, your life needs to be
It is important
It does matter
It is not empty but filled to the brim with promise
Must be strived for
You can be the one you need to be.

That is important.

Bright Sunlight Streams

Bright sunlight streams
Across the land
Brining favour and promise
To whomever
Is within her hands.

Profound love gently
caressing our motherland
moving west
Making all
A promised land.

Looking Back Down

Looking back down
The road I’ve been
Always knowing I could
Be there in a second
That place I’ve been.

So sad to know
So sad to be
Looking back down
The road I’ve been.

Don’t look back
Turn around and see
A new road
Opening up for me.

Full of promise
Full of majesty
Heartbreak gone
Back down the road
I’ve been.
