Writings

Sometimes I find it nice to write down thoughts. No particular order or reason, just write them down. Most times I end up getting something interesting out of them. I have a song lyric I started writing after my brother passed away and every time I sit and try to finish I end up with something completely different. I end up looking at the lyric and thinking "that doesn't work at all" then taking what I write and putting it away only to read it later and think wow why did I write that? Where was my mind when I wrote that.
 I have a pretty decent collection of writing since I started 20 years ago. Some I have shared out on the web and some will probably never see the eyes of another person. But all in all they have kept me in tune with my thoughts and feelings.
 Looking back and reading them has given me insight and inspiration for my life. I hope maybe one day the writings will inspire someone or ease their sorrow in a time of need or depression. We go through so many feelings in life and think that we are the only ones to feel that way when it is absolutely not true at all. I have no problem with sharing what I have written if they feel others would benefit.
 Below is one of the latest things that came from me trying to finish the old Lyrics.

Unconditional

The Sun came up today in it vain attempt to burn away the shadows.

I feel it’s warmth on my face, slowly chipping away at the cold inside.

Scars from the past too deep to heal serve as a reminder of the hard times we pass through.

Souvenirs for a place we didn’t want to go.

One smile, small, honest, and true, shines innocence on the guilty.

Offering unconditional forgiveness and love.

Making the sun’s light seem cool and the scars so hard to see.
