I surrendered to love...

So today is my first real post in quite some time... I find myself continually engulfed by everyday activities that I can’t seem to find the time to update this anymore. There are times that I wish I would actually sit down and write about what’s going on in my life; and others where I feel like there are just no combination of words and punctuation to truly express how I feel.

Today marks the first year that I have not chased after my past in three years. I know this must sound puzzling but it really isn’t at the same time. This year marks the first year that I have allowed myself to be happy, this year love found me. This year I surrendered to love…

A Dream

Where the mountains touch the sky

Where poets DREAM, where eagles fly

A secret place above the crowds

Just beneath marshmallow clouds

Lift your eyes to a snowy peak

And see the soon- to- be we seek

Whisper DREAMS and let them rise

To the mountains old and wise

Climbers climb, it's time to try

Where the mountains touch the sky

Take me there. Oh take me now

Someway, Someday, Somewhere, Somehow

Where the ocean meets the sky

Where mermaid dance and seagulls fly

A place in DREAMS I know so well

The sea inside a single shell

Far across the living sea

A pale blue possibility

Beyond the castles made of sand

Tomorrow in a small child's hand

Only DREAMERS need apply

Where the ocean meets the sky

Take me there. Oh take me now

Someway, Someday, Somewhere, Somehow

Where the forests reach the sky

Men are equal and doves still fly

No thorns of war, a perfect rose

This is where the green grass grows

Out beyond the crystal stream

Like so many I have a DREAM

Imagine such a goal in sight

For strength, courage and might

Whisper now, let the DREAM begin

It's time to trust the truth within

This is where we seek from above

A tremendous gift of love

Dream on Dreamers, hopes are high

Where the forests reach the sky

Take me there. Oh take me now

Someway, Someday, Somewhere, Somehow

Now, listen close, the future calls

"Build your bridges and tear down walls! "

For time has taught and so it seems

Realities are born of DREAMS

Chase this light...

Took me awhile to figure out the lyrics to this new Jimmy Eat World song, but I think I managed to do fairly well. Enjoy...

I’m a suspect,
I'm a traitor,
I'm only here in body, visiting,
Yellow faces,
In the distance brings,
The beauty is in what isn’t said,
I raising to my feet,
Because tonight,
The world turned me,
Because right now,
I don’t dare breathe,
Oh babe by now,
It’s a light and somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me

My jasiel,
My last call,
My life is yours in your gifted hand,
Confetti rainfall, in the quiet stream.
These things I've found are special now.
The night is in my reach.
Because tonight,
The world turned me
Because right now,
I don’t dare breathe.
Oh babe by now,
It’s a light and somewhere for us to find tonight,
Chase this light with me

Movie still,
Photographed,
Through a martyrs eyes
I can see.
I’ve seen the best of love
The best of hate,
The best reward is early
I pray for every single word I have ever read
Confetti rainfall, in the quiet stream.
The beauty is in what you make it,
So get up on your feet.
Because tonight,
The world turned me
Because right now,
I don’t dare to breathe

Oh babe by now,
Its a light and somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me
Because tonight the world turned to me
Because right now I don’t dare to breathe
Oh babe by now,
It’s a light and somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light now with me

Never Alone

DID YOU EVER REALIZE
THAT YOU'RE THE ONE I'M DREAMING OF
MY HEART'S FOREVER PARALYZED
BUT I FOUND THE CURE IN YOUR LOVE

I'M NEVER ALONE
WITH YOUR LOVE
I'LL NEVER BE ALONE

EVERY TIME THAT WE EMBRACE
I CAN'T HELP BUT BE AMAZED
YOU’RE EXACTLY WHAT I NEED
I'VE SEARCHED THE WHOLE WORLD ROUND
YOU CALL WITHOUT A SOUND
AND NOW I'VE FOUND MY PLACE

IF WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE
THEN WHY IS IT SO PLAIN TO SEE
I'M HAPPY WHEN YOU'RE CLOSE TO ME
WE COULD HIT IF OFF SO EASILY
