love for granted

for all of those out there that have love. Don't ever take your lover for granted!!! You never know the day when you wont have them. Make every kiss last and every wink burn into your heart. The little things like being able to turn to that love and tell them a thought that only they would understand, waking up in the morning to a face that you know loves you for your strengths and your weaknesses. These small but preciousness things are what make your love special, they make your life worth living. When dark times come and your love is lost these are the things that will strike you and make you miss this love. I just got out of a 3 year relationship with my best friend, not having them around has really opened my heart to the love I had. Life isn't about living alone, God wants us to love and wants us to have that companion because he knows we can't do it alone. Love is unique and rare these days, if you have it hold on tight if you haven't found it yet lucky you, if you had it and lost it.....do all you can to find it again. Love is what life is about.

The Freedom of Feeling Alive.

This feeling of electricity buzzing through me has been a long time coming. At sunrise I jumped out of bed, grabbed my long board and headed up the canyon. I just got new barrings for my board and wanted to do a speedy yet soulful ride to test them out. Short meditation, my tunes, got the mellow and I'm ready to start my therapy. Close my eyes.......take in the mountain air, feel the rhythmic beat of my heart match my breathing. The music notes begin to catch in tempo with my body's internal time. I open my eyes and push A quick down slope curves to the left and my legs glide to my heel side and my barrings kick in. The burst of adrenaline seemed to speed up the music as my body became loose and free. Corner after corner, I catch more speed with each bend music notes swirling faster around my wheels. Every element around me was in perfect harmony. As I come over a slight incline the song ends, the sunrise casts a long shadow in front of me on the black pavement. Now going at a less sketchy speed my entire body melts is one with the board....the wheels.....the ground and to the heavens as some reggae music floats me on home. Sweet loven life tunes moving my body in carving smooth motions. Relaxed and free, I felt the most internal and satisfying emotions swell and release. Stress, worries, every stone on my shoulders lifted. Passions are what motivate us, passion drives us, without our passions there would be nothing. Live for your passions, Strive for your passions and do it.

One That I love

One That I Love

The sensation of your touch.

Perching eye that reach my soul

In my heart you’ve filled a hole

I want to tell you so much.

I wish we were the same.

So hard it is to find one to trust.

To my horror keep it I must.

So sudden to my life you came.

My wings have been lost.

I only dream to fly

To be free of all the lies.

Is our amity the cost.

My heart is torn in two

To tell and risk losing you

Or to keep it hidden from your gaze

I feel so lost within a maze.
