Same Sentiment; Different Day

❤

Always Choose the Light.

I love this quote.

And it is a very nice coincidence that I stumbled upon it today as I was just texting a loved one this morning about her patience and support of me, especially in our youth. 

This quote resonates well with me and makes me appreciate her and all of the people in my life who are filled with such light.  I would like to thank them for their help through all those times when I've been incapable of sleep and unsure of the shadows that haunt me.

You know who you are...thank you for being my night light.

Sometimes

the darkness 

lights 

my way.

💀

Sometimes

the darkness 

makes 

me stay.

Remember That

One of my Faves

Paid In Full

Thank you for my ears
that can hear a bird's song -
the breeze through the trees -
the voices in my head.

Thank you for my eyes
that can see a sunlit morn -
the full moon in its sky -
the shadows in the corners of my room.

Thank you for my slumber
the comfort of my bed -
the softness of my pillow -
the nightmares that call me home.

Thank you for my ghosts
the ones that haunt my days -
the others that visit my nights -
the ones that summon me into the darkness
that choke me without reason
that slash me without razors
that own me without title.

Thank you that their will be done.
And, that now, my payment is none.

Only a Dream?

Only a Dream?

Remember when you were little,
Just bite size?
Can you remember lying in your bed at night, restless and imaginative?
Hoping that sleep would come for you before the Boogeyman?

Can you remember the shadows?
Maybe they were hanging from the light?
Creeping through the hallway?
Hiding in the closet?

Do you remember the fear?
The tightness in your chest?
Trying to catch your breath before they caught you?
Squeezing your eyes shut to block out the darkness?

Did you panic?
Pray?
Piss yourself?

Since then, have you filed all that nonsense away?
Flooded those thoughts with worry and work?
Did you replace that imagination with responsibility?
Did you swap that magic for money?
Those dreams for nightmares?


Who's crazy now?

Maybe it's you?
Maybe it's still me.

Feed Your Head

Her voice.
The music.
The lyrics.
The execution of it all.

This jam always gives me chills.

 "Riley thought a minute, then said, 'I've heard that sometimes objects act as conduits, you know? Like if you hold your grandmother's wedding ring, you might call her back enough to be able to smell her perfume.'

'I've always had this idea that objects hold history,' Helen said.

Riley nodded. 'But maybe it's more than that. Maybe they don't just hold it - maybe it flows through them, you know? Gives the dead a kind of ... touchstone; something to pull them back to this world."

"Light passed through the lead-glass windows; 

shadows stretched across the floor with fingers that seemed to reach for her, 

to pull her in."
