Take my Breath

Will you stand on the edge of perception and gleam into madness.
Turn the known inside out and throw it to the unknown.
Will you brave the emotions you fear the most
in order to say that in the darkness your light was your own.

Step inside that which you fear and learn to love.
Release your grip you think you have on what you thought your knew.
Let love in, bask in it, revel in it, understand you don't own it.
Now give it away to the universe and watch it fly from you.

In these moments we are everything there is to be
We are love and hate,  life and death
full of emotion in a moment we never saw coming.
These are the rare and powerful moments that take our breath.

MOTHER

I could write words down on paper
Sing them to the stars,
they are but reflections of the heart.
I could paint a song of love
and dance across the universe,
that is but a reflection of the soul.
I could carve a statue of honor
and display it to the world.
That is but a grasp for the moment.
Nothing written, sung, or displayed
could ever show the love
found in the heart of a child to his mother.
Happy mothers Day.
