Fact

The fact of life is death
The joy is in between
There are those who believe the reverse
And waste life waiting for the inevitable
Wondering and pondering of the minute
He will take you back

The fact of life is now
Not later, tomorrow or yesterday
The fulfilment is your reaction
To this moment in this minute
Not planning for yesterday
Or regretting tomorrow

The fact of life is you
The reflection in the mirror
Who you know you are
Not who they say you are, or will be or was
Your beliefs and attitude
To right now
Is the fact right now

Almost

I almost missed you
It all seemed green but was lime
Felt good but not right
Believed all I heard but not believe
Dark shadows adorned my pupils
As you stood in the mist
I truly almost missed you
Next to me you were
Though I was not looking
Eyes shut with temporary joy
Fool fooled by a fool
Direction...everywhere
Contentment a myth
I seriously almost missed you
Turn left paved with swarovski
Right with copper but leads to diamond
Darkest hour diluted when you saw me
Saw me for the first time as I saw you
Bags and all you gave me a lift
Stopped on green and unpacked
Filling the empty with light
I almost missed you

Loving yourself

Take a look
In the mirror, in the pond
At the scars and memories
Question your birth
Ask about your being
Unlock your childhood
Reminisce the years before
Appreciate the innocence
While laughing about your naivety
Feel your heartbeat
Touch your hand
Kiss your lips
Hear your silence
Break your heart
Only to recollect it
Renew your spirit
And enrich your soul
Take a look
Into yourself
