a new path

as we go our separate ways today
i'm thankful for this road we've shared
this stretch of the journey
has been filled with rest and care
for as i walked, you walked too
as we told our stories
we shared our souls - unexpectedly, thankfully
though our paths will be apart
i walk away a better man
so it is not goodbye i leave you with
but a heart full of gratitude
i pray as we each start down this path
a new strength and wholeness may be found
knowing that, for a little while,
we walked along together

silence

why does it disturb me so?

being alone

what is so hard about
being alone
why do i run away from
being alone

when i'm with myself
i want to run away
to hide from all that i am

what roles have i played
in shaping what's left of
who i was created to be

glimpses of who i was
before i came along
leave me all the more angry
that i'm not that today

why can't i be ok with
being alone
what is so hard about
being alone
