too many questions

5/15/2011

​I ask too many questions
I know
and I try to rush through the
dull moments
the hard parts of life
and get to the other side
but  right now
I will open my eyes
and accept
this is it
the place that I intended
when I took each step
along this path
good or bad
planned or unplanned
this is my desire
this is my sacred space in reality
that I have made
for my  self.
I accept this gift
regardless that it
cost so much
to see this clearly
and feel this sure of myself
I would not go back
I would not  go through any of that
ever again
but I can accept the gifts
of  the darkers days
I'll accept my life and this look on my face
there may be a shadow
in my smile
that I didn't plan for
but it's better
because it feels good
after everything we've faced
to just sit here
and be ok
it feels good to be okay
and it used to feel like nothing
I was always restless, wanting
 for something more
and now it just feels amazing
to not be hurting...
It's feels so right to just be...
it feels
............so much more like me.

This is It

This is it
that quiet astounding moment
when you cease to be a cynic and you say
I'm here
this is the place I knew I could trace
my life forward to
if I
painted the desire into a solid color
with paint that I could see and feel
cold and real
on my fingertips
taste the color of this thought
with my tongue and lips.
This is it
the moment when you
step outside of yourself and say
this is my life
exactly
it's not some show I'm watching
or a book I'm reading
hoping for an interesting moment
 or a better ending
it just is...
It's happening.
I look at my hands
pale and stong
I laugh at my reflection
it's been far too long
since I've recognized myself
and now I do
it feels beautiful, it feels safe
and utterly true
just to be here
in this moment
in my life
 and with you.
