Days Gone

Take me to a Spring
where every day was as young as I
and the sun would come winking through the curtains

Virus

I’m looking around,
at him, at her, at them
mad, confused…mostly scared
of something that may not even be there
and all I can think about is you

Weakness (Haiku)

Under this street light
pouring down rain in the cold
alone, and done wrong

Journal Entry # 174 – Don’t Let Your Heart Run on Empty

When you find something that makes you happy, continue to surround yourself with it. Miss it and want more of it. Allow it to imprint on your heart and keep giving your soul what it longs for. – Ash

Journal Entry # 173 – Needleless to Say, Don’t Wait, Donate. Help Save A Life!

Whatever you do, give your 100%. Unless you’re donating blood. – Bill Murray

Journal Entry # 172 – You Got This

When you doubt yourself, you contradict the value you already possess. You’ve come this far, you’ve made it halfway. So, why stop? You got this! Remember, you can achieve anything for no other reason than because it’s you and you will. – Ash

Ash To Dust

i look, turn around, and see your face
then, it falls away like dust
like a living dream
not even yours in the first place
so, I keep walking along staring at the ground
trying harder to recall what’s left of the vision I have of you
only time has started to begin to fade the picture
even though my heart has a good memory
the beats are becoming too far between
those flashes no longer able to bring it back to life
no matter how much I love you
soon, i won’t be able to see you anymore
when you’re way out of focus
and completely lost from my heart

Journal Entry # 171 – We Can Change the Forecast

Some time ago, I decided that I would start to exchange negative thoughts with those of joy and happiness. I learned almost instantly what there is more of in my life. Don’t let one dark cloud follow you forever. – Ash
