Rushing forward

Life is changing quickly
No longer what it was
A maelstrom of emotion
Cascading with a buzz
Weeping all alone
For all that's yet to come
Knowing we're moving forward
With nowhere left to run
Gently now my angel
Let's not lose our way
We're more than half way there
So let's embrace this grey

Going

We're showing our colours now
Watch us fly
Don't hold us back
And don't ask why

We're blasting away all the old
We've found our groove
We will not fold

What it means

Can the mind be satisfied with triviality and drivel?
Can we see to the other side with a simple little swivel?

Can the heart by mollified simply with intentions?

Or must we cross the line to confirm our grander actions?

Lest we leave this sphere with unanswered, nagging questions
We must delve most fully or accept all good suggestions

Calling the surprise

I felt a happy little shiver
As the cold ran down my back
Despite my coat and scarf
The wind found an open track
Chilling me to the bone
Yet inside my soul was warm
As I knew my voice was heard
Through the preceding ugly storm
It's always been this way
From when I was a tot
And before that I always saw
My family calling for what it got
I know ingrained within my being
That if a need arises
As long as I believe and pray and hope
Life always has surprises. 

Balance: Reality vs Fantasy

I've found a balance
Between yesterday and now
A tiny little sliver
Of time beading on my brow

Running through the fated limits
Of love and lust and life
Understanding that delusion
Can be like sharp and curving knife

Plunging now and then
When life turns a dusty brown
To wash away the cobwebs
And chase away the frown

But linger in those waters
Is something I cannot do
For it leads just to discontent
So those hours are but few

Like sacred orbs of light
Refueling reality
I know indulgence must be limited
So the pleasure doesn't shatter me.
