Perdida Contigo
Momentos atemporales pasaron vagando en busca de llamas eternas.
Sediento por lo inalcanzable y doloroso por los tesoros escondidos dentro de las paredes.
Sin aliento y decididos, deambulamos perdiéndonos en el laberinto de la vida.

The Nothing I’ve Become
I know what some of you are thinking ~ that my life is in ruins and/or I’m drowning ~ possibly even calling out an S.O.S. of sorts ~ but no ~ none of it is the case.
The reality is I have evolved into a state of nothingness over a few years. This epiphany was slow in the making but layer after layer my inner being found itself emptier and emptier. The nothing I’ve become doesn’t need saving from a hero. In actuality, this state has given me the most exquisite gift in life, peace.
My journey began in 2014 when my consciousness burst open. I discovered in me an emotion called empathy that surpassed every boundary ~ every life form. I became one with all living creatures ~ understanding and feeling the pain and suffering of the universe.
This oneness with creation forced me into veganism. I could no longer be the person who walked in a zombie state of mind devouring all in its path. Pretending to be a god had zero value to me, instead, I opted to shed the worth humanity placed on me and found infinite richness.
The more I let go of the wealthier I felt. The nothing I’ve become is the me now.
I have no walls or motes surrounding my mind ~ spiritually I am free. I hold nil value to this planet but that’s ok. I love being overlooked and undervalued because then I don’t have to be one with or of the masses, I can simply be nothing.

It's ok ~ It's ok
My wings wrapped you in a blanket of love
and sheltered you from the world.
It's ok to let them go,
to fly ~ to glide ~ to float.
It's ok to set off on your own journey,
to feel the breeze ~ the raindrops against your skin.
It's ok ~ it's ok.
just feather upon feather ~ flesh upon flesh,
with no real beginning or end.
Just a middle where I found solace in your presence
and stretched out my embrace to give you safety from the storm.
It's ok ~ it's ok.
Reach out to the wind that has been howling
calling out your name to touch the stars.
It's ok ~ it's ok.
It's time to watch you soar.
It's ok ~ it's ok.
It's time to hear you roar.
It's ok ~ it's ok.

Without You

How
erasing all images, I have stored in my heart of you?
Is life so shallow that our existence consists of only what we touch?
And, if when we remember, does it have to be like a dream
or a fantasy we are not sure we even experienced?
How can I bring back what I once felt, what I once loved?
How can I bring back the stars that seemed to touch my fingertips,
the moon that brightened even the darkest of all of my nights?
How can I bring back the light that entered my being,
how, when I do not even have you?

I'm Racing
Cobwebs imprison my mind grounded
Something's missing, can't place it. can't grasp it
Racing the darkness before it arrives
Keeping in shadows layering armor
I'm racing
Shielding life
Exhausted by people who walk with the purpose of stepping off cliffs
Discouraged by those I find sitting on ledges
Wordless disappointment, unexplainable loss
Chasing moon drops for a sign
Waiting for answers to unfold
I'm Racing
