Fifteen - A Place to Begin - B - Another Step Forward on this Journey, My Life

Life is a miracle, you got it, now what are you going to do with it?

For a moment time stops - the world shuts down, my midnight arrives, the tears do not come, I am alone, but I am not lonely.  I stand nude but I am not naked, and in that moment I find myself, and I begin.  I know I will not fall without getting up.  I will be safe when the sun fades away.

I have come from a place so far from where I began.  My life has been a journey.  Everyday I look in the mirror and I know I am the most beautiful girl in the world.  I will define who I am.

I want dreams, I do not want nightmares

I need to know the truth

to believe in angels and miracles.

I look at my reflection and I love who I am

I will do what I have to do to hold on to me

and suddenly I realize, I am not perfect, I am me.

  

I will believe unconditionally that my tomorrow will come

I trust, and I will believe in this life

I have listened, I have learned and I have loved.

Faith is who I am
I close my eyes and I find my soul.

This is my truth
I will step forward even when I fall.

I don’t want magic

but I want to know this is not as good as it gets.

I don’t want make believe

but I want to believe in fairytales.

Somehow my tomorrow will be

hope and courage will once again emerge

life will be bigger than me.

I will stand in dignity and grace

I will make my music and dance

I want to feel joy and I am not afraid of pain.

My journey is and my voyage will continue

and all the while until I reach home,

I shall laugh out loud.

Fourteen - A Poem - Dancing with Dostoevskij - Two

Dancing with Dostoevskij

From that far away place, she beckons me

Whispering softly
Her words flow across the white pages

Subtle... tempting words, my life, my history

Bathed in the moonlit night
I begin once again

The timeless journey of love and life

My heart, my soul

Words engraved in that old book

My life

Those sweet tragic words of promise

Immersed in a whirlwind of emotions
A wave of hope and I have come home

One step, then two

The music ignites, the orchestra of life

Playing the song of midnight

My song, our song

The song of moonlight and tears

Once again like old friends, knowing lovers

Embraced in trust
If only for one moment

The silence of our truth

We dance

Our histories, our suffering

Disappear into the night sky

Remarkable this journey has been

I find again, my faith

The joys, the sorrows

Of life and of death

The tears and the smiles

Our passion, our life

Love is life and Life is

Bathed in the moonlit night

Entangled in our histories

We dance in Grand Square of Humanity

                        

13 - Dancing with Dostoevskij - One

Dancing with Dostoevskij is where I want to be 

in the rhythm of my life

so selfless and so free

I pause as I wander

through the love and the pain

I glance back at yesterday

so sweet the memories I shall hold

I remember and I forget

I leap into tomorrow

dancing with Dostoevskij is where I want to be

in the rhythm of my life

so selfless and so free

I pause as I wander

I become me
