Moving Pieces

We are the moving pieces

Pictures, paintings, memories

We are clouds forming to fade

And leaves flying off the trees

We are sprouting from the earth

And returning to the ground

To the streams that reach the sea

To the wind and its sweet sound

We are the moving pieces

Let your breath flow out and in

Feel the touch of someone close

And their kisses on your skin

We are the blood that dances

To the beat played by each heart

We produce the love and hate

That can heal and tear apart

We are the moving pieces

In cycles of fall and rise

Time lives in passing seasons

And wrinkles that wrap our eyes

While here, we take the journey

To find out what life can bring

We are the moving pieces

Connected to everything

See

It can be

Painful to watch

How reality unfolds

How most walk

This earth blindly

Never grasping what life holds

Still, true joy

Exists out there

In all things that you could do

But joy starts

With how you see

And seeing depends on you

Hurt No More

I'm not hurting anymore

I've decided

To run away

And be my only friend

Everything feels simple

Now that I

Have turned the page

And I'm off

To find my own happy end

You can come along

If you want to

But I don't

Expect someone to stay

I'm just over

All the things that bruise me

All I want is light in night and day

I'm not trying to hurt you

Please believe me

I'm thinking that

With time you'll understand

Worlds outside are cruel

And I won't

Become a fool

So darling

Come on now and take my hand

We can find ourselves

If you're ready

Freedom is

The call that guides our way

Aren't you tired of

All the things that bruise you

We can be the light in night and day
