Sometimes a real love will remain with you throughout your life. It’s the one that sticks to your ribs like a good barbecue dinner. One that goes feral and will not allow any other to come near. It could very well be the most incredible experience you’ll ever come to know.

As you travel through life, storms will always appear. Some you will see coming, some will catch you unaware. The best thing you can do is to ‘hold fast’.

It may be the only thing that allows you to survive.

Hold on and hold fast is all you can do when riding out the storms of life.

A poem about a rare love. The kind you dream of. The kind that is an unstoppable connection. The kind that reshapes your world… the kind the survives lifetimes.

Everyday we wake up to a new magical day to experience. If you look closely and delicately enough you notice everything is slightly different, as appearances can be misleading. Each day is a new world to experience and a true blessing. All one has to do is open one’s eyes and one’s heart.

Tonight’s poem came to me in a flash of inspiration while I was sorting papers and receipts… A short poem of sage advice … and always, always wear sensible shoes.

Have you ever missed someone so much that you look for them everywhere you go? Hoping to catch a glimpse of something present inside a past memory. You can feel them close by and you look for them in everyone and everything. If so you may relate to this poem entitled… “I Look For You Everywhere.”

If you get granted a wish, sometimes it’s best to listen to your heart and wish for something that brings back a beautiful memory. A time where you felt the most joy and happiness and warmth and peacefulness and your entire being simply floated on air.

Sometimes, if one is fortunate enough, dedicated enough and wise enough, a heart waits for someone very special. A soul waits for a divine connection and once connected … can never be filled by another.

Sometimes that empty feeling that you feel deep inside cannot be quenched no matter how much food you ingest… no matter how hearty the meal or how sweet and abundant the desserts… sometimes that empty feeling comes from a place deep inside your heart that is missing someone so dear to you that the ache never goes away.

Sometimes in life, if one is fortunate, you can feel truly at home. When you lose that, there is a daily ache and a constant melancholy that follows you from the moment you wake up … and all you want is to go home again.
