The Truth
of the Matter Is…
Sometimes
people and things enter our lives and appear to be everything we want
and all
that we’ve been longing for… Sometimes
those very people and things are only meant to be in our lives for only
but a
season… We create these “ideas,” develop emotions, before knowing for
sure what
we have encountered; we find ourselves entangled in the “idea” of what
and how
we would like for things to be. Before long, we look up and realize
we’re left
with nothing but a bunch of trumped up emotions and a truckload of
disappointment. Sometimes we just need to be brutally honest with
ourselves and
expose the truth for what it really is…
Overwhelmed
by
emotions rushing through like a whirlwind,
How did
this
connection end before it even had a chance to begin?
It all
seemed
to be perfect; almost too good to be true,
Without
me
speaking a word, you seemed to know just what to do.
Glancing
in the
rearview, holding on to what I’d hoped would come to be,
I must
release,
disengage, extract, untangle these emotions and quickly get back to
doing me…
Not an
easy
thing to do but necessary nonetheless and although I desire more-
I must
get a grip,
pack up these emotions and politely escort them to the door.
I refuse to allow myself to be taken out by
someone else’s storm.
Maybe
there’s a
reason things appeared to be everything outside the norm…
Although
this may
appear to be tumultuous and impossible to deal,
I must
see this
for what it is and separate this “idea” from what is real.
Distracted
by
this diversion, unsure and anxious of what possibly lies ahead,
I must be
patient with life and focus on what’s my reality instead…
Instead
of
creating these ideas based on what and how I’d like for things to be,
I must be
still, search God’s word, and allow Him to elevate and position me to
receive.
To
receive the extraordinary
things He has prepared for me alone,
An
abundant
future filled with peace, hope, true love, an existence second to none.
Although
the
possibility remains for something to exist between you and I,
I’ll just
keep
it moving for now, accept my reality, stand on the shore and wave to
you
goodbye.

Seasons
Everything
grows
in its own season.
Everything
that
happens, happens for a reason.
As
seasons
change, new flowers bloom-
New
stars
& possibilities visible beneath the new moon.
Goodbye
to
the remnants from past season’s storms.
Once
beautiful
treasures now left shattered and torn.
Goodbye
to
the tattered memories of the past
While
some
things survived, others were never meant to last.
Hello
to
the crisp fresh air of a new day,
An
opportunity
to try new things, a chance to get away.
Hello
to
lessons learned from past pain & strife,
A
new
understanding and welcome new life.
Hello
to
new perspective & wonderful things to come,
Possibilities
for
new experiences, friendships, & unexpected love.
Apprehensive
about
the unknown and what to expect,
I
close
my eyes; take a breath and whisper, “ready, set…”
