in a distance

A calling in the distance.
Whispering quietly.
The trumpet muted by blank sheets of music.
The sound muffled yet apparent in spirit.
It is what’s to become of me.
Meandering for its final outcome.
Patiently awaiting its due.
I rediscover self in the process.
I reinvent.
Re-establish.
Renew a new sagacity for my transpiration.
Comprehending much.
But struggle for resolution.
More than a feeling or emotion.
Love is.
Abides in me.
I search for its presence.
Swiftly to no avail.
Eager for its finished product.
Questioning presides as I hibernate from others.
Void. Alone. And hurt.
Stories unfold and stolen moments transcribe a fairy tale.
An ending unknown but the will to exist.

Once

I met someone once.
And a conversation was explored.
Sharing realities, philosophies, and ideologies which profoundly correlated with experiences witnessed in life.
The debate contrasted in its details.
The exchange spoke of strangers meeting in time only to separate and get lost in their own journeys once again.
The approach different.
Unpleasantly diverse in its endeavor the disappointment arises in the unknown.
Wondering if paths will rekindle and new beliefs are discovered as the events of the day discontinue.
A reunion of thoughts, a reunion of life, a reunion of words unspoken.
I met someone once.
And it made me feel good to be in their presence. Reassuring the core of me own identity.
I exist in challenge. I exist in understanding. I exist in you.

Maybe we'll meet again.

HOME

I wonder where this life will become.
As I live each day anticipating another.
Taking for granting the moments of today.
The mistakes of the yesterday.
And the next second of time that will present a choice.
To be.
To become.
To live like no other.
Challenge beyond measure.
As I understand my call to action.
Limitations no longer exist.
The shackles released like doves in the sky.
Pursuits are birth.
Interventions near.
I am home.

BEHOLDEN

The warm embrace of love fills my mood.
Laughs.
Side conversations.
And tears of how we all connect as beings warm the heart and allow the soul to glisten with rays of light.
Joy presides in the atmosphere as we rekindle spirits.
Aged moments of time permeate through words.
I inhale the observation.
Accepting the present.
Reliving past events.
Family.
Sweets.
Stomach aches.
Pastries baked with childhood goodies.
Remind us how beautiful life is in golden years.
Kinships joined.
Fellowships remembered.
Strangers but friends dine in gratitude.
Yet the heart tells our story.
The feeling.
The emotion.
Happiness profound.
Thrilling.
Beholden.

Nameless

Cogent is the mind.
Wars.
Conflicts.
Bloody battles invade my territory.
Muddy images clog thoughts with a pristine concept of life.
A question existing.
Disparaging.
Muddled.
Mystified.
A stranger in time lost in the wild.
Stop pause and wait humbly for verve pursuits.
Configuring a timely withdrawal to unearth chimera.
Patience is a virtue.

This Time

It is in the remittance of this moment that I subsist.
As I attempt to stray away from the uneasiness preoccupying the brain a warm sensation overcomes me.
An innovative gist of being.
A fond awakening which draws a smile upon the face initializes change.
As a child I dreamt.
As an adult I continue to reverie.
And as time passes before me I recollect my exploration of life.
The measures of the day gleam new historical beliefs of possibility.
Reaching for the stars never appeared so secure.
Living the dream is not a preference.
And thoughts replenish the brain with stimulating sentiments;
You can be what you want to be.
Anything is possible if you believe.
Friends give way to what once was and celebrate this time.
The mood exciting.
The atmosphere letting go of the pain and embracing now.
Family tells stories of the day to younger generations.
What a feeling of hope.
Pride.
Happiness illuminates the heart, which permeates the soul with glee.
This is and was the moment that will reside with me now and tomorrow.
And even more as a child dreaming.
Twinkle, twinkle little star.
