Tracy Chapman sang about “the space between”
What’s in there?
Imagination
Things we hold as true
Past memories
Odd feelings
We feel the need to fill in
As emptiness is quite frightening
A place where shadows are walking barefoot
Unafraid of the turmoil inside
What’s in there is just
Time trying to catch up time
So we can move on
Without losing our minds
As days are becoming brighter
Everyone is hoping for a new start
In this long and everlasting battle
And if
Instead of waiting for the world to make a move
We took the chance to open the window
Bring our smiles on the scene
Let go of expectations
And not just hope for better days
But fully appreciate the little things
And make tmore of them
Heart and soul ready for a new ride!
***
No more projects
Was this true?
Freedom of being
Doing what feels right
Acceptance of what is
Enjoying moments as they come
And go
Freedom of testing
Taking pleasure in the making
Projects are alive
Objectives belong to the past
And this is only the beginning of a brand new life…
Life
So many times
We are trying to:
Understand it
Manage it
Control it
Change it
In a way that could suit us
Not living it
Forgetting that life is moving
Always
Ever changing
Whatever the way
Something happened here
In between
Something that needs
To be healed
Subjects come and go
There’s always something
We ought to look at
Or our garden can quickly got
Hundreds of weeds everywhere
Looking like a forgotten land
Bad dream
Step by step
Getting to know ourselves
Great discoveries ahead of us
Only if we take the road
If we’re ready to listen to the call
No rush
We’ve got a lifetime
But waiting too long
Can make us fear the start
Too many rocks on the way
Too many bridges to cross
Too many subjects we used to hide away from
Step by step
Giving ourselves the chance
Of the greatest adventure:
The journey towards our heart!
Love can be in words
But words fly away
Love is in the sky
And the clouds
In the feeling that stay with us
When life got tricky
Love is in the glowing sun
The morning fresh air
In the knowledge that we belong
To bigger than ourselves
Love is in the dance of the leaves
The song of the birds
In the secret of our hearts
Brought from darkness to light
People
Part of our lives
Making it easy or hard
Walking with us on the path
Cheering us up when we feel down
People
Lights on the way
When hours are tough
And our hearts know nothing but chaos
Ears open to mend the broken pieces
People
We tend to give them our power
Feel lonely when alone
We may want them to give us more
To be different so they can match our list of expectations
People are part of our lives
They don’t make it
They are part of the deal
But our happiness doesn’t depend on them
We are the true masters of our own life
People can add to it
But if we don’t become our own best friend
People will never make it for the loss
All start and finish within
People are our in-between
Got lost in vibrations
That weren’t mine
It’s crazy how the world
Wants to mold you
So you can fit in boxes
Not the ones you know about
All the other ones that
Make you feel like
There’s always something missing in you
Boxes all covered with beautiful lights
Made of beautiful words
Words that charm and bewitch you
Promising you eternal happiness
If only you follow the path outlined
And if you are not sure enough
If you feel a bit lost
If you don’t know why you’re here
Or where you’re heading for
You’re in great risk of losing yourself…
Reading words
Pinned on the fridge
Saturday morning
Memories kept
Memories fading
Your heart is a thieve
Shivers through the skin
Past love gone blind
Memories kept
Memories fading
Grey sky turning black
The sound of thunder behind
No place to hide
Memories kept
Memories fading
For the present only
Hold the key
To peaceful growth
And serenity
