Month: September 2019

I feel safest at night when I am without my reflection
At night I see me and not a mere hint of me
I see who I am and who I am not; this brings me peace

Though I love the warm sun streaming upon my face 
I feel compelled to keep one eye open to see what lurks around me
In the day all I see is the reflection of me, in those whom I love

In this mere hint of me, lies madness
I’m addicted to these shadows of ourselves, to what we possess
Believing they are us

But the clock ticks and slowly, our souls haunt us
…….Until we can no longer bare it

But in the night
we come face to face with ourselves who we’ve avoided for so long
And then suddenly see the face of God

dd- November 2019

We have a drive inside of us to improve the person we were born as

Striving daily to be more, to be better, to be different then who we are

This drip continues day in and day out until the dam breaks and we realize then, that we’re not only perfectly acceptable the way we are

But we’re profoundly important to this life and the life of others simply by being that wonderful creature from the day of our birth
