Tomorrow Gets Me Through the Past

"They left us alone, the kids in the dark to burn out forever, or light up a spark. We come together state of the art. We'll never surrender, the kids in the dark. So let the world sing, 'What a shame beautiful scars on critical veins. 'Come together state of the art. We'll never surrender. "

~ Tomorrow Gets Me Through the Past ~

Tomorrow equals new experiences.

Tomorrow    IS the narrow versus the Broad.

Tomorrow   IS a choice That reinvents Itself as the events Get Closer.

Tomorrow   IS Always in the Now, so Get up and Dance.

A smile filling my eyes as I learn to discover rather than cower.

A moment of jubilee when I find out that change is not as bad as it seems.

More of this and that.

And less of that and this.

For tomorrow  IS the Day That starts yesterday.  

Finding out that fear is no longer part of my arsenal.
That time when it is okay to wander and not find anything at all.

Tomorrow   IS Never Alone and today IS filled with Sparks.

A smile filling my face as I learn to drive and not let go.

A smile that tells me that running away is not the answer.

A moment of jubilee when I realize that letting go is just another part of the day.

For letting go is a double edged sword used for the good and for the tarnished.

Tomorrow   Divides into three.

The past, present, and the future.

All rolled into one caring moment where the choice is made.

As I run and not let myself equal the impossible.

Even though I miss and I mourn.

Even as I am filled with sadness that I will not get to see them.

I know they are safe.

I know that life takes a strange path to find an answer that was always there.

Here I go weeping for joy.

Here I go dancing this day into the next.

Here I go taking in feeling and using it for good.

Here I Go looking for tomorrow  Which IS just like looking for today.  

Tomorrow  equals new experiences.

Tomorrow   IS the path less Traveled and more Traveled by others.

Tomorrow   IS missing the ones I hold Dearest.

But for now I tell you I love you.

I love you more than you know.

But we know, that we are never not together.

Because tomorrow  IS where the memories and the Present collide to form the new and exciting.  

Tomorrow  IS a lways in the Past and the Now.

So get up and dance to the new.

Dance to the present, and the past.

So get up and dance to the undecided.

Because we all know that the meaning will be with us and reveal itself when our eyes stop looking.  

But please do not stop looking at the same stars.
Or even the same sun and moon.
For even if the sun is a star.
It is the one that will truly guide me home. 

Staring at the Sun

"I took the fire escape and made it out alive. Yeah, I still burn from time to time, but I've a healing hand against my side."

                                                            ~Relient K

~Staring at the Sun~

To start the day forgiving the sun for not coming up yet.
And at night forgiving it for going away. 
Listening to the light of the day.
And asking for it to stay.  

Hearts are bound inside prisons.
That are sunk below the sea.
Hearts deserve to be set free. 
Even when they must forgive thee.

Looking for dreams to interpret.
Looking for a way to forgive. 
Being scared as life keeps crashing down.
And instead of doubting,  believing that forgiveness will come.  

All the wrongdoings brought before.
Must be forgiven if you are to stand tall.
Not to be better than them.
But to do good by the maker. 

Taking love and giving it away.
 Who do I give it to?
Taking my heart and giving it away.
Who do I bring it to?

Seventy times a day I fail.
Seventy times a day I lie.
Times that by seven equals how much my heart crumbles.
Times that by seven and that is how much flesh I was given to squander. 

But I do not wish these things to be in me or others.
I want to be strong.
I want to love.
I want more than the dark in my eyes. 

Wish the best to those who wronged you.
Do not seek evil or revenge against them.
But weep when they are hurt, and do not be pleased when they fall.
To make things right if possible, and come to them if they need help. 

Looking up to the sky I see the sun staring down.
It makes me clean yet my eyes still burn. 
Taking the pain and staying true to the teachings of love.
To use the sun that I see to forgive the sin against me just as I was forgiven for sinning against you.

For inside your arms you forgave us.
Even if we have no reason to be forgiven.
For inside your abundance I was made clean.
Even if my life has been dirty.

For the dirt can be washed away.
And love can be the water.
Rain fall and help me forgive.
Help me forgive the wrongdoers and love despite the pain.
