Power of Two

have i got it right

that could have been it
that moment
the one that just passed
it could have already come and gone
or maybe it is happening right now and i cant feel it
or it could be waiting a bit longer
that moment when i realize, understand
why i am here
when it all whooshes into me
when i peak
you say it happens to everyone at some point
when you know you've finally got it right
i really hope i didn't miss it
i hope it is waiting just a bit longer
if it is coming at all
but it seems to be getting late

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

-Buddha

Sun Beams On My Face

Though I know I shouldn't,
I walk barefoot through the grass
as the sun beams on my face
Music and laughter and tears
float from around me
in and out of my ears
I see the sad painted smiles on faces all around
a splash of color
Faces beam back to the sun
glowing with sad joy
This is now and forever my home
and will forever be my dreams
what I want to live by
surrounded by
submerged is

I stop to think
as the sun beams down on me

Swirling through a rainbow,
I am thinking, choosing
What color should I use next?
Open, closed, stuck, free
I feel like I can go anywhere.

Even colors beyond the rainbow sit before me.....

I am climbing a ladder
Speeding up
Not stopping
Not seeming to go anywhere

I can’t see the bottom
I can’t see the top
I can’t remember how I started
I can’t tell if I’m actually moving up

I want to see the end
But I’m getting frustrated
I’m getting tired of climbing
And not knowing
Where I’m going
