Beginnings and endings
every day, they happen side by side
We must wake up and understand that this is IT
there are no retakes

Live your best life
not the most monied or travelled or feathered
just the best lived

Don't keep your heart locked away
give it piece by precious piece to those who earn it
and don't begrudge them if they don't appreciate it
because only you know what your love is worth
and no matter what
it never depreciates

Begin today
Life is the riddle
Of which we're caught in the middle.
A couple of lucky ones
Tangled up in too much love

    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen
  • lovely poem
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key
