It’s Only a Season

I never liked fall or winter. The cloudy days, cold rain, and bare branches always left me in a depressing haze… but recently I had a change of heart. Leave it to me to take something simple and complicate it with deep quotes and over-thinking, but sometimes my over-thinking leads to a positive change.

During my walk a few days ago, I was gazing at bare branches and the most obvious thing dawned on me: It’s only a season… The trees shed their leaves so new ones will grow. Someone will be like… um, DUH… but it was a revelation to me. I always knew this, but never completely understood. This season is not a sad end, but a moment of transition. Then another light turned on.. This applied to my life as well. Moments of loss or emptiness were only a stepping stones to something new… possibly even better than what was before. Sometimes living in the moment is a painful thing to do, but it’s not so bad when you see things for what they are.

The past: Gone

The present: A moment of transition

The future: Unwritten

Happy 2012.

Dreams

Not really alive

Just breathing

Like I slipped into a coma

Still walking

Nothing new

No feeling

Not content here

I have dreams

Faith is light that guides me

Lets me see beyond the ordinary

I take leaps

Cause one day

I’ll defy gravity

Who I Am

Thank you for making me strong

I learnt to love those who do me wrong

I was torn down to rise

My heart beats with new life

My song is being written

Some lines I may never understand

but battles made me strong

Made me who I am
