I got lost in thought...

I have seen death in its cruelest form and witnessed life take its first breath. With each struggled gasp to breath, your soul dangles between this life and the next, and in a moment it slips from the earth. People struggle their whole life to make a name for themselves only to be forgotten with their last breath. What legacy if any will you leave? Will you simply slip from the earth without a trace. Or perhaps will your good judgment and wise choices influence the lives of others. Will your love leave a lasting impression. Will your life be a splash of colour in the greying values of the world, or will you fade into the scenery, never standing out.

Without even small dreams, you cast aside hope without thought.

Time

I lost myself for a moment, and awoke to find the world moving on before me. Left behind in the maddening chaos, trying to figure out what all I missed. I seemingly lost control, and futilely sought to restore the pieces. And after I put the puzzle together, it was not the same picture as it once was. As you see, life never remains the same, you can’t change the past nor manipulate the future. It unfolds in each moment. Unpredictable in its course. These event unravel before my very eyes, I can't comprehend the speed of life. In a blink its gone, and I am afraid to miss its meaning. I stand wide eyed before the world, taking in the beauty. Each moment never the same, and each breathe never regained. The speed of life, moving on before us, each seeing merely a glimpse of its art, before its time to close our eyes.


Don’t pin me in a corner and expect me to be happy. I am a free spirit, my soul cannot be tamed. Let me spread my wings and fly, let me choose my own path. I will make more mistakes and new discoveries. Don’t squelch my heart, it must be set free. My life is my own. My heart belongs to God. And my future is unknown. I tried to suppress my feelings, but that is not who I am.

I am who I am, and I know what I want. I am ready for the future. I am ready for now. It's time to wake up. It's time to live. It's time to be happy.
