Pressure makes Diamonds

Pressure makes diamonds     I grew up in Religion. Spirituality defined by rules followed and Laws upheld. Pressure. Going again and again Spirituality strengthened by commitments made and covenants upheld. More pressure.. A desire to be the best of me Strengthened by my “upheld spirituality.” Perceived Truth and still learning the greater Truth associated..  To crash, then burn. A husk leftover from an imagined reality. The feeling of it all: Numbness, darkness, pain… Tears and yelling.   Scars on the Heart A received black eye or two.. More darkness... Applied Pressure. To that of finding God again. Then Remembering the feelings felt, Just without the face of him. Spirituality found in the peace of self. An assurance and a confidence.   To the point and place of a quiet solitude A Mountain breeze in the wind. Feeling the Mountain dirt beneath your feet Earthy essence feeding your soul.  Healing.. as a smile starts to hit your face.  Feel everything a...

Is this what tomorrow looks like?  A Smile on the Lips A heart so full The look on your face Eyes, those eyes.  It's intoxicating.  Electrifying.  A reunited light to it's bulb.  A breath that should last forever With forever not being long enough.  Oh my What is this? What have we found? A dream.  A hope.  Yet I can feel it in the Future I can see it in the Culture.  The moon as a Sunrise. With the Sun Setting to only a new day.  A dream filled with the colors of Orange, Blue and Yellow.  A world open to be travelled  Like a Bear in the Forest  A ferocity yet to be explored.  Two souls reuniting As the Heat in the Conscious.  When do I begun? Waking up to Father Time...

Yes. Yes today   Yes at this moment I still love you. At this moment I can relish in the connection made The love shared. Yes, yes in this moment A smile hits my face Thinking that someone like you Is out there in this world. That God glistened a tear creating you. Knowing how great you'll become How beautiful you are How much good will come from you. So yes, yes in this moment I want to call you I want to share a space or two Just to bring back If not just for the moment All the wonderful things associated With you Me, what could have been..  Yes, yes in this moment I'm resigned to the ideas of The memories shared To the thoughts of the past I promised myself I would let it be Respect what is Even if it  was  only And let you live your life. Yes, yes in this moment Instead of a text message or a call I'll send love your way If but a  Prayer   spoken to the Wind... Have: Positive energy, As your mind leans towards the negative Healthy As that's what you des...

The Days

  These Days   I’ve seen better days in some ways   While also living the best days is the way I’m choosing to live them. Changes came, life became.   Two worlds colliding, as those changes came.   The losing of a   life-time career job Funny, I don’t particularly like that version of me.   The Becoming aware of, Evolving into a new version of myself. Trying to find an artistic groove again, It’s funny how I no longer feel the need to write about sadness or of lost loves. The need to just write about life.   I see “me” again. For the first time in a very long time I’m, me. A reconnecting with my inner child To the resolving and the batting down of those inner demons that held me hostage for so long.   They’re still there. But for once I remember a younger, more innocent Shaun that would never give up to inner pain. Choices . I can accept the past and live in the present, knowing the future is Bright. For once. Because I want it to be, So it ...
