SOUL SONG
glitter-graphics.com And leaving, she found the one that had been missing for so long, The not good enough, found her self. And in finding herself, that one who had been missing for so long, she has discovered, that she is indeed more than good enough. No longer hearing your words, for she listens to the song of her own soul

Going Home
glitter-graphics.com Sometimes people get lost. Sometimes they leave the nothingness; that has no meaning. Without a word, they rise to follow their soul, for fear that that too may fall silent to the ear. Then closing the door, without backward glance. They're gone

AFTER A WHILE
After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
that you really are strong
and that you really do have worth
And you learn and you learn
with every goodbye you learn...
