We are the same, my dreams and I

Partners in life, we walk beside

One another, my soulful companions

Imaginations on fire, spirits on a mission

Passion, the spark, keeps my fire alight

Perpetually, in motion, taking flight

Our words and worlds, woven together

Awake, asleep, day or night, knowing

My hopes, my purpose, my truth

Remain constant, on the ever changing

Sea of life, always as real as it seems

A needle pulling thread, I am my dreams

Moment to moment, time flows by like a river

Is it an illusion, or an aspect of time we have

Come to know, ingrained in our perception

Without any question, we take it for granted

Because I am forever in the present moment

I remain always in the here and now, ageless

And eternal, unaffected by time, my existence

Undefined by the past and the future, I trust

What is happening now, is all there is, and

I believe that it is everlasting, ever timeless

Without beginning or end, moment after moment

Unfolding, I let go, I am living in timelessness

From one minute to the next…

Lightning strikes, where we least expect

It is with this type of precision…

We can change our lives with one decision

You really need to know…

Understanding where it is, you intend to go

The fire inside your heart…

Will spark the answers about where to start

Like an arrow stays the course…

Calculating carefully, before applying force

Moments hold such great power…

In time, a seed turns into an incredible flower

Will it be a journey or a ride…

Everything changes, the moment that you decide

Limitless, living right beside

Nights and days, spent

Dreaming about our purpose

And our passion, always

Available, to you and I

The realization, requires

Perception and belief

It is in the leaning forward

Learning the only failure

Exists in what we regret

Without our dreams, there

Is no reason to move ahead

Success is an achievement of

Persistence, following through

Forging on, for your big dreams

Await, upon you, only

Daring to listen

To the voice within

Against all odds

Avoiding logic and

Reason, saying yes

Walking boldly into

Fear and the unknown

When the heart says

Yes, your pulse quickens

Deep down inside

Digging for a strength

You have yet to know

Heartbeats like a drum

So you opt to let go

And find the courage

To follow your heart

Because I can, I will

Armed with ambition, I proceed

Obstacles appear as hurdles

I fly over them, spirit taking flight

At the most difficult of times

I get by, encouraged

Once again, another try

When it does not yet exist

I find the way, exploring

Building bridges, I cross over

To discover, that experience

The best teacher, leads me

As I aspire to greater knowledge

To be all that I am meant to be

Fulfilling my potential

Because, I can

With the simplest gestures

The torch is passed, powerfully

Silently, from person to person

Witness it in a passing smile

Eyes gently sparkling, saying

Hello, yet no words are spoken

The chain remains unbroken

Unending, circling around

And around, hands reaching

Out, forge bonds with strangers

Build bridges, connect people

A universal language, understood

Wordless expressions, exchange

Igniting fires, growing friendships

In these brief moments, we are

United by the circle of kindness

Your distinguished

A flame so brilliant

Meant to burn not extinguish

And when you hit them

Your sparkling like

A lustrous gem

Shining with light

««<»»>

Your outstanding

A talent so exceptional

Born with a voice, commanding

When they hear you sing

Your epic sound

The people’s king

Wearing the crown

I

Live for my dreams

Watching their mystery unfold is even greater than it seems

I

Long to explore

Knowing there are always new worlds behind every unopened door

I

Love with all my heart

Seeing the beauty of every living person, paint the world with their art

I

Like possibility

Finding joy in each new day of living and hoping for what may still be

I

Learn how to fly

Falling never scares me, so there really is no reason for me not to try

I

Let my tears fall

Understanding life brings both pain and beauty, if we are to have it all

I

Look all around

Discovering that after all the years and tears and laughter, it is me, I’ve found

She had been through all of this before

At the time, she knew there was more she could explore

Though the words played out in a certain way

In the end, she knew that they had never fully closed the door

Never fully closed the door

She knew there was something

Something more she should explore

<> <> <> <> <> <> <>

She was an icon, and once a really big star

With her words and songs she had gone so far

Her music was sweet candy to the ear

Away from her mirror, she saw so much clearer, the way things are

She saw the way things are

She saw so much clearer

She had come so far, so far

She saw the fallen star

<> <> <> <> <> <> <>

Finally, her feet were once again on solid ground

Suddenly, it seems she had really found her sound

Her life had played out in the lyrics of her songs

She knew everything would be sweeter, the second time around

Sweeter, the second time around

She knew that her songs

Her songs had found their sound

The second time around
