117 I’ll see you in the future, Where clouds have silver linings, And rainbows, pots of gold, And love is blissful, as should be, And we are one, as was foretold.  I’ll know you more tomorrow.  Cuz new days bring new light.  And there, there’ll be no sorry, No lefts, no wrongs, all right. Justice peace in eternal glory.  I’ll be waiting on those days to come.  When chariots blaze like moon and sun, And the stars fall from the sky, And land at our feet, When you and I are one.

114  Falling in love with the sunset Is like a miracle That happens to me, everyday. All day long, He works to give life To the world; Then, at night, He finds peace Like an explosion of rainbows, He lights the sky Softly in the mellow romance The seas become like a sparkling wine As if sprinkled With diamonds from the heavens.  And the whole world becomes silent, Calmed by His soft breath, Amazed by the beauty of His tranquility.  By the very essence of the sunset, The whole world, Not just me, falls in love with miracles.

115 I’ll dare not to forget this day.  Always shall he find a place in my heart Waiting for a tomorrow like a reflection Of everything I’ve grown to love, today.  And I’ll never ever stop dreaming About moments like these last ones, When life is so full of emptiness; Of light, of peace, of love, of purity.  Memories about living this way Are those memories that I’ll crave, forever.  I’ll hold on to today, but only to remember, For, in my dreams, I only see tomorrow, Where there is no end, where there is no yesterday.  Where there is only today, And nothing else matters.

116  Some things are much harder to accept Than others.  Some things make you want to regret The bothers. These things that tell you you can’t Are dying. These things that say that you won’t Are lying.  One thing’s for sure that you’ll be sure To know.  One thing’s much more than many door To go.  No thing is too far away to reach With wings.  No thing should be too near to see The blessings.

113  Who can say Where time goes After it passes by To bring forth  A new day.  She never says goodbye And never looks back; Never turns her head To take a second look Or even bats her eyes.  Forward and onward She walks forcefully  Striding toward the future  Looking beyond tomorrow Into a place where life lives.  Thus is the quest of time That the world should follow And adhere to her footsteps Like a moon in the sand That winds and tide wash away.  Always going on, Always motioning freely. Always aware of what was, Yet, her only desire is to claim That which will be. The Queen of Destiny.  The Goddess of Fate. And Her only place of solace, Her only home to rest Is that of Faith, and Hope, and Love.

112  Hold your breath Because otherwise You might lose it To me.  Or let me take Your breath away. Let me set your spirit Free. Just breathe this in Hail holy air. Choose the truth and dare To be.  Blow a kiss with The wind you breathe That it should give you X To see.

111  I am as I am.  I can’t be nothing else.  I won’t be no one else, But me. For me?  I am as, As I am.  I am who I am.  Who else could be me,  But me?  For me? I am who? Who I am. I am what I am.  The most me I’ll ever be.  No one else can set me free, But me.  For me? I am what? What I am.  I am that I am.  And I make no apologies.  That no one else holds these keys, But me. For me? I am that. This I am.

Sometimes

I get lost in the darkness

Other times

I become blinded by the light

Even still

I lose my self in the silence

Even Will

I bound my self in the fright

But never,

Have I given up

And never,

Has He given up on me

For always,

I shall stride forward, onward

Forever,

Shall I trust in God, in Me

110 This is my day.  My hour has come;  The time that was appointed For me. This is my door, A tunnel, dark, and mysterious That I should pass through Fearlessly. This is my path; Paves straight and narrow. And, one foot before the other I walk on.

109  Shine  Like an Olympic torch  Marching through the night  Til it reaches its final resting place For all to see And stand in awe

Glow Like a firefly after sunset Glaring as it leaves its trail Of pixie dust behind That the children Should smile in thrill

Burn Like a summers wildfire; Uncontrollably, persistently, passionately... That it should take A hailstorm Just to quench your thirst

108  Because now I know That just when things are bad enough; So bad, so low, so shallow, That all you can see is dirt, And, you look down because You are so afraid to look up Fearful of what might not be there;... When life is so tough  That you feel it is about to break you down  So, you cry, because you can’t hold it in  And you think about life as if it were death.  Now, I know that even when  Things are that bad, Don’t give up.  Not on yourself.  Not on life  Not on love.. Because, Regardless of what you think, Regardless of what you see, Don’t let it change what you know... That life and love Are always there  And they’ll never give up on you.  So, it is up to you, then  To never Give up on them

I am going to rule the Universe

And everything in it

It is already mine

It was given to me

Yesterday

He put it in a tiny box

And delivered it to me

And now it is mine

As if always destined to be

This world belongs to me

And no one can take it away

She is mine

My baby, my beautiful child

And I will love her forever

For, she was given to me

And, I was given to her

That we should set

Each other

Free

Now is the time

The time has come, now

The whole world is changing

Too slowly to notice

But, I notice

I see

Because

This change all began

Here,

Inside of Me

106

I want to sing

Sweet songs of praises

And give glory

Make joyful noises

And give thanks

Cry out in laughter

And make loves sounds

That the world should hear

I want to dance

Twirl in circles like the moon

And bring joy

That eyes should sparkle like the sun

And make peace

With body language, tongues that tune

Send them fearfully on the run

I want to walk

Forcefully, gliding, striding

And with my hips

Shall my legs transcend this place

And with my feet

Gently make new paths in space

That my hands might point

To a world far beyond their fighting

I want to be

Everything that I am

And I want the world to see

Everything that I’ll be

And I want to go

Everywhere that I’ll know

And I want to know

Everyone whom I’ll show

102

I told my lover

That I had had enough

I stood up to him

I was fierce, and tough

I let him know

That he let me down

I let him go

And, I made him frown

I don’t care how he feels

I hope he feels how I felt

I won’t dare to reveal

That he still makes my heart melt

I am punishing him

For being such a bad boy

I want him to learn to know

That I am not just a toy

I love him so much

So this fast may get rough

But I love me even so

And I have had enough

103

My future is so rich

I can already taste

The sweet morsels

That will melt in my mouth

Mmmm...

Everything I had ever dreamt

But so much better

So much more intense

I can hardly wait until

Tomorrow

104

Dear God, Mother, Father

Thank you

For yesterday, and today

But, especially

For tomorrow

Wherever I go from here

And, however I get there

I thank you

In advance

For being there with me

Bless the living and the dead

Forgive the foolish

For their deeds

Forgive me for my folly

And bless me; make me holy

I love you, God of all

I adore you, All of all

I want to learn your way

I want to be just like you

Today, Tomorrow, Everyday

All of God, All that is I

And above me

And throughout me

And beyond me

Thank You

Thank everything about you

Gracious lover

God of the living

God of me

God of All

I thank you.

And so

I’m not alone

Anymore

I don’t have

To face this world

Alone, tomorrow

Because, today

I have realized

That I’m not alone

Anymore

By my side

There is strength

Holding my hand

There is might

Lifting me up high

There is love

And so

Just as it was in the beginning

There was one

Then there were two

Now, again

There were two

Who just became one

Once more

Today

As I’ve realized

That I was never alone

Anymore

Than I am now

100

What’s next?

Who knows?

Who cares?

I don’t I’m just going

Flowing

Floating

Being

Led by

Whatever

That is

Within me

Driving me

Thriving within me

Taking me there

And

Whoever

That is

I know

Is worthy

Of my trust

Fully

Wholly

Because

I know

That

I AM
