| you're still fast asleep, so i'll wait 'til you decide it's time to wake up
you can't see me, so i'll wave before your open eyes
until you recognize me
wake up!
it's all happening now!
i am right here, i see everything
and i know you can't see me
so i'll wait
wake up!
here it is!
empty couches, walking floors
empty bottles and pounding doors
loveless and unfulfilled
what good is just one night if it means you miss everything?
i'm not going anywhere
i'll be here 'til you stop trading me
for one more sleepless night
wake up!
your eyes are open but you're not moving
and the breeze is trying to blow me toward the ocean
but i'm not disappearing this time
i'm more patient now than history would tell
and i'll keep screaming until you remember me |

| sometimes, things are just as bad as we think they are.
but we are still blessed in unbelievable and mostly unnoticed ways.
may we be forgiven for being blind to all we're given?
insurmountable beauty surrounds us.
may we be forgiven for squandering our eyes.

| i've been forgotten and reborn, lonelier still and at peace with everything.
All in all, All in all.
everything is beautiful. space, gaining elbow room while growing closer.
but being close is better than okay if it's to something you don't think you could ever get close enough to, no matter how light gets between the two of you.
because i know that no light needs to get between. not when there's so much light from within.
i'm writing, reading, living, laughing.
you've got me smiling so incessantly that my face hurts and i can't bogart a cigarette like i used to.
there is light, there is hope, there is love.
all of us are all we've got. let's not lose each other in the fray.
Namaste. forgiveness. Love. grace. compassion.
if you're looking for someone to send you to hell for the things you've done, you've come to the wrong place.
or maybe you came to the right one and just didn't know it,
because here, no matter what you've done or do, no one's going to say or think a bad thing about you.
here, arms are open, hearts even wider, kick off your shoes. set a spell.
here, pain is healed, shoulders exist to get wet with tears, and hearts live to see peace in yours.
here, you are Loved. and here you will never be allowed to forget that. |

| and it's gonna be better than it was.
