Let Love Flow Through You

Now is the time
To rise above
Look in deep
Feel the love
Growing — pulsing
Telling you that now is the time to sing
Time to bring Humanity together
Storms around the corner
That we must be prepared to weather
Not to let up and break the chain of inspiration
Holding on tight to this sweetest elation
Luckiest sensation
For this moment is fleeting
But right here, right now
We can love and live outloud
You and I meeting for this single second of infinite time
Yet somehow, someway, we are alive
Able to shine like the stars that guide us
Love both near and far and always so wondrous
This is the meaning of my deepest bliss
Becoming aware of the Love before it is truly missed

Calmness in the Air

Calm is key
Relax good friend
You are here with me
Momentarily aware of air to breathe
Dependent on the external
While always in need
Desire inescapable
When urges repeat
You have the strength
To not give heed
To past impulses
Addictions of greed
Escape in consumption
Is not truly free
All it takes is for you to believe
That your soul is calm
So long as you breathe

Becoming a Legend of Inspiration

Right now you can call me contemporary
But my aim is to truly be legendary
For if I live on
In these words I’m generating
Then I can continue to inspire
Individuals to not just wake
But rise
With open eyes
A disguise unneeded
When our dreams top the skies
Arms open wide

I write for the love to resonate
Because the ultimate wish is to eliminate the growing hate
You know this
There’s no more time to wait
Make the change today
So do something you feel is great
Abandon the idea of fate
Your life is random
But you can still grow-create

Blip

The ability to inspire is much more than saying and writing motivating and uplifting thoughts. An ability to inspire requires the capability to affect the environment of those in your presence.

This text is much like a blip on your radar. Here for this moment, capturing your attention. Soon gone, unless you’ve chosen to keep it in your memory.

Inspiration is the by-product of leading a motivating life. Make no mistake that motivation alone can not be created merely for motivation’s sake. It comes as the consequence of a pursuit in something. A dream or a wish accompanied by the strength and support to bring it to life. To create in the midst of silence.

This writing is a blip.

Something so short and barely graspable, but still a blip.

In these seconds that you spend reading and listening to these dreams of mine, I’m ever so slightly affecting your environment.

If your stream of thought is like a train, let this be the message to derail it and lay a new set of tracks.

Let these words become part of the later version of you who remembers this.

Blip.

You, too, grew!

As the seasons pass
Like they did ages ago
Are we closer now
To identifying a soul?

As a Human race
Are we more lost
Or in control?

As we can see the roles we have to play
Look in the mirror to see the hands that shape this day

Create!
Bring your work to life
Regardless the truth
I feel this is right
Using emotions and lyrical obsessions
To set life into motion, on this spherical setting
Aware of my limited blessing
Working against time to spread this message:
Life can hurt if you let it
But it’s absurd to live with your head in the dirt

It’s easier to feel as if life is against you
That no matter your actions
You only add more fuel
To the fires that threaten your deepest desires
Stress after stress only work like multipliers
Compounding pain into something more than just deal with
Change mandatory when a mindset’s stuck reeling
And at this very moment, being weaker looks appealing

But stop, breathe
Start to believe
That you already made the choice
To grow and achieve

This moment has renewed
You are more than just you
Believe that this is true
That like plants out in the sun,
You, too, grew!

So stop, breathe
Start to believe
That you already made the choice
To grow and achieve

Though time will move forward
Regardless your choice
Know that I look forward to your work
So that together, we’ll rejoice!

Emotional Polarity

The highest high you’ve ever felt
Will be matched in intensity with your lowest low
Come to see life as polarity
For no matter where you go
Opposites exist
To balance in flow
You can see it clearly
You already know
That to understand yes
You must think of no
The same holds true
For me and for you
Happiness can only thrive
Alongside sadness too

Dreams in the Mirror: Part 10

I’m here now
Somebody for you to believe in
I’ve come to start weaving
Together separated threads
Of reality mixed with love and with dread
No longer used to treading on the safer side
Finding it easier to run and to hide
From problems to share yet no one to confide in
When you just want to open up
And renew an inner trust
Between your past, future, and present
States of mind, I’m here to represent the idea
That you can write through your fears
Vocalize the struggle you’ve been fighting for years
Countless tears
For these internal battles are shared
More frequently than you’d expect
We’re all souls drifting
Not knowing what’ll happen next
Whose life can flip upside down
By taking a right turn instead of a left
But not left alone, cause time again has shown
We can connect so long as we’re together
And collectively choose to grow
Finding internal flow
You’ll definitely know
In the realm of self-reflection
Look in the mirror and enjoy the show

Gratitude

So make the most of it
Dont fall and quit
On your heart
The moment it tears apart
Loss is coming and it’s going to pack a punch
Death is around the corner, this isn’t just a hunch
Wake up – Now is the time to wake up!
Emotions are coming and you need to be strong
Enough to embrace them
Enough to move on
But never forgetting
That the dead live on
So long as you remember
To continue their song

Cause in life we are a combination of these two things
A self that experiences and a self that thinks
We are the sum of our total experiences
With a capacity of our human awareness
When the time comes when we pass this
The only loss is the continuous additiveness
To our own take on lifes experiences

Storing shared moments
Of a fleeting bliss
Sprinkled with bits of painfulness
Yet look at all the togetherness
Envision the people that led to this
See this world as a communal wish
To grasp this ideal of happiness
From them a lesson not to miss
That in the end,
Gratitude is the answer to anguish

Stability

The universe isn’t out to get me
Its there waiting for a bit more understanding
To know we can’t understand it
And how we often take for granted
The laws of physics in a continuous
Chain reaction of amibiguous
Call to action
Imagine happiness, try to max it
Find a bliss and hope it lasts this
Last time cause I cant go back
To hanging on a single vine
Like a life line holding back
A catapult
Cause once I say its all my fault
I shoot off into a one man cult
Where im trapped inside my painful thoughts
That make it harder for me to open up
Repressin a desire to express whats up
But im free now
cause I see how
I dont need doubt
If I let it out
I have friends proud
So I say it loud
I have found now
Solid ground
Got my feet down
