Take The Time


Close your eyes and remember
the times that made you laugh
Let the memories was over you
like the quiet light of the moon
on a clear star filled night.

Let your heart smile and laugh
with the visions of friends and
family that have filled your life and
made it better with a simple touch
Take the time to miss the people
that might no longer be here
to bless you with their presence

Take the time to remember
the love that fills your heart
Let the wave of calm and serene
wash away the pain and stress
that life tosses to us on a whim

Allow the time to let yourself love
Take the gifts that lie at your feet
and accept them into your heart
Let your soul be lightened from the
burden that threatens to consume
and let it shine with the happiness
that every one of us deserve.





I was actually thinking of Lauren when this popped into my head.I guess I was reminded how quickly friends and loved ones can be taken, and how much time is not spent letting others know how much we care.

The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind pretend I am weightless and in this moment I am happy
