Thinking over future memories

 

I'm so alone.

I say that I’m not

but I can’t hold it in,

The thoughts fizzle

and pop like bubbles

from a shaken

up bottle of 7up.

But I’m not reminiscing

of an old flame that whittled down,

becoming smoke that drifted

into the night time town.

Its somehow more what

I don’t see sitting on the horizon,

I only see an empty future

with no lasting sun of which to sing.

 

Its sometimes hard to say

how the day just fades

into insignificance

without your presence.

How the blinds shade

the light of day,

only throwing out

shadow memories of you.

Memories of futures

that haven't become true.

 

This world feels too big.

Where all I can see

are the silent tears

obscuring the mazy

thoughts in my head.

I’m blind to the outside,

when all I see is

you in my mind,

whilst I lay

in my empty bed,

thinking of all the things

we would have said,

if only we had met or would meet

in some future memory

that leaks into the present me.

 

When I close my eyes I see

a silhouette of your hopeful soul.

A world somewhere I can’t hold.

I just want to touch that aura

and feel it flooding over,

but all I see are fading colours

and the clouds rolling to cover.

I kiss the air

in hope that it will find

you where you lay

and that you will somehow know it’s me,

somewhere in some past history

pining over a future memory.

A step to the side (fire and ice)

 

We are formed from fire and ice,

stardust and comets.

We explored the cosmos

in a previous life.

Burning suns,

blinding lights.

That all still lives inside

in the molecules that collide.

We are still wide-eyed explorers

where all we seek

is found just a step to the side.

 

We are dust and ashes

blowing through a galactic sunrise.

We just ignore how connected we are

to the universe outside.

We hide in our little worlds,

following herds to the same

worn down pastures,

when so many new experiences

are just a step to the side.

 

Look up. What do you see?

Just blackness?

Or perhaps you see a canvas

on which to paint, in neon lights,

a ballroom for us to dance,

when we feel the high

of the cosmic music

that plays from all the worlds

that lay just a step to the side.

 

We are stardust confetti

mixed with the universal threads,

like spaghetti curled around a fork in the road,

drizzled with a tomato sauce to die for.

We live to be more,

not just to walk the same beaten path

we have walked a million times before.

Not to fight, not to hate or start wars,

but to love all there is, it’s not that hard.

We are meant to explore, not just outside

but within, take a hold of your feelings and

let your fingers trace the reasons,

the meanings. Let yourself step to the side

and look with a new perspective at life.

Something in the wings

 

I feel I’ve always been waiting

for something in the wings,

in the delicate way they flap

as time speeds past.

I always thought

I was awaiting death, my final lap

but now it seems

I have steered onto a new path

and something else is staring back.

 

I used to feel small, insignificant

but now I realise we are all magnificent.

We hold an ocean of energy,

we are not merely boats along for the ride,

we are the waves that never hide.

We control the tide.

I always felt I was stranded at sea,

but now I know the sea is me

and I am free to be who I want to be.

 

I won’t lie. It’s scary

this renewed energy I feel inside,

I feel younger with every stride,

I feel my smile growing wide,

and the part of me that doubts

thinks this is gonna all collapse in time

but I know I’ll keep walking

through every downward spiral,

every torturous mile,

because I will always know

that I accepted my trials,

learnt to love the way the gravel feels

when it is dug into my heals,

and as I walk ill sing

because at the end of the road

is love for everyone and everything.
