woven

beauty wrapped in the ordinary,
every laugh a spark, every tear a lesson,
echoes of a deeper truth beneath the surface.

What does it mean to cherish the now,
to stand at the edge of uncertainty,
embracing the chaos as part of the song,
finding wisdom in the impermanent dance?

In this fleeting tapestry,
every thread holds a story,
reminding us that to live fully
is to embrace both the light and the shadow.

With every heartbeat,
the fleeting breath of existence,
we discover the richness of being,
a profound love for the life we hold.

connected 

In the quiet expanse where stars softly gleam,

Humanity wanders in a ceaseless dream.

from an ancient cradle to distant shore, 

We journey forth, seeking forevermore.

Through valleys deep and mountains high 

Our spirits soar, our hearts defy. 

Boundless yearning, a quest untold, in the 

vastness of time, our story unfolds. 

Across oceans vast, through endless skies

We chase elusive echoes, where truth lies. 

Seeking meaning in the cosmic flow

Infinite souls, we ebb and grow. 

Yet in each departure, a return is found,

An eternal cycle, a profound rebound. 

For as we wander, and as we roam, 

Our essence finds its way back home.

In the silent dance of stars and night, 

we are but travelers in eternal flight.

Leaving footprints on sands of time, 

Seeking solace in the sublime. 

Oh, humanity, in your endless quest 

May peace reside in your restless breast.

For in leaving and returning, endlessly. 

We find our place in the tapestry.

of me, of you 

Whispers of you remain. 

Gentle echoes of love, 

though you're far from this plane. 

Memories etches in the heart's deepest hue,

where loss meets a bond that forever holds true.

Your laughter still dances on the breeze's soft sigh

In the stories we share, you'll never truly die.

For you live on in the smiles that we wear,

in the kindness we give, 

in the love that we bear. 

Though parted by time, in this vast cosmic sea 

Your spirit, your essence 

forever with me.

In each beat of my heart, in each breath that I take, 

A part of you lingers, 

a bond none can break.

So cherish the moments, 

the love that we knew. 

For even in loss,

there's a connection so true.

In the depths of our souls, 

intertwined and entwined,

forever in love, 

forever in mind.

wilt

I look at my mom and see you

I see you as the peaceful wind blowing gracefully

through the trees of my window. 

I see you in a crowd of laughter and joy in the city.

I hear you when I play guitar

and hear you when it rains. 

You're the smile I put on every morning.

You're the small gestures I notice between waves and hugs.

I see you in everything and hear you in everything. 

This is my eternal thank you, I love you.
