Sea of Stars
Look up at the sky.
If it’s dark out,
You can see so much.
It really makes you wonder.
Why are we really here?
Are we the only ones?
Is the universe really that big?
I wonder what created this vast sea of stars.
We seem to be all alone in this,
Making our way on our tiny little speck.
Traveling through asteroid fields,
Or maybe getting pelted by solar rays.
Traversing the infinite expanse,
Through a stellar sensation.
A cosmic soirée.
In the never ending sea of stars.
Spanning across millennia,
The sea of stars sweeps on.
Leaving many unanswered questions.
There’s just so many things we don’t need to understand.
They just are.
Just because you don’t get an answer,
Doesn’t mean that you won’t.
It just means you’re not ready.
And that’s okay.
Freedom comes with knowledge,
But the best things,
Come to those who wait.
Keep gazing on the night sky,
There’s magic all over.
It runs through our veins.
Just feel it.
See it.
Hear it.
The music will reveal itself.
And you will find peace.
Witness the endless spectacles.
A full spectrum of colors,
Infinite possibilities,
In the never ending sea of stars.
The Phoenix
Walking through the fire,
Like it’s never hurt.
Like it’s not burning my flesh.
But at least I can still feel.
Walking on glass,
So I don’t offend you.
Keeping myself in check,
So you don’t do it for me.
I’m worried one of these times,
You’ll snap.
We’ll break,
And I’ll burn.
Our end was predestined.
Your end had been set in stone.
My end has been on the horizon,
But there’s only one thing.
You never knew,
I am never down for long.
I always get back up.
You watch me go down.
But you turn your back,
Before I even get up.
You have never seen me
Rise back up.
Resilience.
I will always stand back up,
Wings out,
Ready to fly again.
No matter how many times
You push me down,
Watch me struggle,
See me die,
I promise you,
I will always move forward.
I will keep fighting.
I will win.
Even when I burst,
When I break,
When I shatter,
When I feel unrepairable,
You will see me on my feet.
You may not wait for me,
But I will wake up,
And reassemble.
Putting my pieces together,
Draining these emotions,
Dropping these weights,
An absolute resolution.
Born again,
From the ashes.
Rising from the end.
The Phoenix.

My Gentle Goodbye
Who knew this would happen?
I’m standing right at your coffin.
This is so crazy.
It’s so unreal.
It’s starting to feel,
A bit hazy.
Really it’s all like a dream,
I’m just waiting to wake up,
Even abysmally.
The lives we lived,
The loves we shared,
The worlds we charted.
My deepest love,
My world class friend,
My dearly departed.
It was much too soon,
Leaving much undone,
Much uncharted.
I hope everything’s better now,
Way up there wherever you are,
Letting your spirit soar.
Not letting anything stop you,
Like it never did here.
Something I’ve always adored.
A bundle of love,
And bestest friend you could ever want,
Way down at your core.
You only gave me lessons,
Along with many stories.
None of it was ever a mistake.
I know this isn’t real.
Desperately attempting to wake myself,
But I guess I really am awake.
Trying just to stay conscious,
But I keep fading.
I just wish I could have a break.
I’m ready for this nightmare to end,
Absent from reality.
You were like my glue.
Now I have to let you go,
Forever,
And bid you adieu.
So sleep well,
Have sweet dreams.
I love you.
