A walk to remember...

Thumb

"....have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”

― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Secret...

Can you keep a secret?

I've known all along

I need to forget

So I wrote it into a song

Don't tell no one

I give it to you now

It might help ease

This void somehow

Keep it, it's now yours to keep

Don't hold onto it, it made me weep

I'm done hiding it, in that well too deep

Where none but only my thoughts could creep

Hidden wisdom, crouching shadow!

There is a part of you that exists
Somewhere within
Reaching into your future
Guiding you like an internal lighthouse

You falter, you waver
You surmise over what has been and what is going to be
You move on, you fall back
You compromise, you please

And yet again, no matter how much you try to shun it away
It follows you like an undetachable radar
Guiding you, Altering your path, Leading you right..

You waver once more, you have trust issues
You are unsure of what to follow
So you go back to the well woven path again
Things feel familiar, things feel right
So you stick on awhile out of fright

It's what it is..

Hold your head high

Let the light burn through you

Know that you can..always can..

Don't let your reality be colored by someone else's opinion

None of it is real and will never be

What is real..

What is true..

Is what you make of it!

And in the end, that is all that matters.

The more inner yourself you delve

The more doors you give yourself permission to close..
The one's you went down way too far..
The one's you never found your way back from..
The one's you had never intended to open..
The one's you thought you had closed long ago..
The one's that swung open almost effortlessly yet became the hardest to close..
Until you find the one you were born to open..

I don't know if that is a sign of strength or weakness...

What I do know is,

That it has the potential to make you vulnerable enough,
To become who you really are....
