It's your time to shine.
Your footing is sure and true.
Now chase down that dream.
Cant cry hard enough,
to purge all the memories.
Broken heart aside.
I have retired from temptations of attention.
I’ve retired from the need to judge.
I’ve retired from feeling like I need that moment,
And I’ve retired from feeling too sad.

I have retired into a place of contemplation —
A place nearby, and where I sit.

I have retired from feeling guilty,
And I’ve retired from needing your yes.

I am retired.
I won't fight with you.
Won't sink down to your level.
You just sling the mud.
one sun      one moon
to nudge the air   to braid the snow

one sun one moon
to bid the wind   to harbor autumn

one sun      one moon
to salt the skin      to taunt the stars

one sun      one moon
to trace the day   to etch our dreams

one sun one moon
to set the fields   to signal the tides
He couldn’t even finish a bowl of sorbet—he said it was “too sweet” for him.

Little did he know—he was too sweet for the cruel world he was born into.
I have a friend who just radiates so much positivity and I wonder what the world would be like if everyone was like this.
i have come to understand effort
once i would just give up
when teacher said no such word
as can´t-

i would scoff..but it is the act
it is the love..we put in..
and somehow get back..
the leaf is thin..
