Not one more thing Not one more yes I am overburndened Overwhelmed I can no longer carry mine and yours I am not Atlas I am not super human My cape and costume Are permanently at the cleaners You will have to carry your own load You will need to step up Not one more minute Not one more mile I cannot shoulder any more Now I must begin letting go To save myself -gws
I am overflowing emotions
Joy
Love
Kindness
I am bursting inspiration
Word
Color
Song
I am lead by my instincts
Quiet knowing
Persistent pulling
Otherworldly trust
I am open to receive
I am open to give
I am broken open and on display
No censorship
No editing
I am fully embodied
I am connections waiting to be made
I am heart bonds ready to be forged
I am ready to be seen and heard
I am ready to receive all that is meant for me

The night is filled with shooting stars But it all stands still for me I am arrested by the smell of you Feel of you Taste of you This moment I thought would never come This fantasy realized Held in my hands My arms My heart This moment that I have longed for Hoped for Dreamed of Every breath Sigh Touch Fluttering heart beat I collect them into a mosaic of moments The story of tonight The night when all I dreamed of came true -gws
Such a pretty cage I sit inside It is a gilded cage Built from my pride Sealed by my fear Constrained by my guilt No one draws near This prison I built My eyes shut so tight I white-knuckle the perch I deny the light My existence besmerched The jailer knows mercy She offers the key I must find myself worthy For my jailer is me -gws
And through the veil I see my life revisited All that was great and small I see how each choice Was threaded to each outcome How energy released returns I, at last, can visualize Divinity's had at play Ready to begin again Buoyed by the knowledge That all is right I make myself ready to ascend And begin the cycle again -gws
I have arrived where I began
The entry point of the circle
“Attagirl!” I think
I deserve this moment to
Pat myself on the back
I sit at the apex of this evolution
and as I gaze down from the summit
Taking in all I have accomplished
I take a deep breath and smile

How can we devastate each other so? How can we stand so close and yet There is a chasm of misunderstanding between us? If only you'd let down your defenses If only I'd let down my own Blast all of this confusion And fickle pride Loving each other should not be so difficult Bring back the times when you gazed into my eyes And there were no desperate questions No conflict of needs No accusations No misjudgments Let us not tarry too long in this mire We do not quarrel so painfully You and I So let us find the tonic that will heal these wounds Put away our vile clubs And set to right the wrongs between us So my enemy can be my lover once more -gws

Picket fence With a sturdy tree Green grass And a tire swing Lavender growing by the garden gate Laughter and joy Abound in every corner Art on every wall Music drifting alongside The good smells wafting From the cookies baking in the oven Contentment Stability A home at last Well and rightly earned -gws
I lay out the evidence before me I examine the facts Contemplate the weights and measures I rework the figures I examine and cross examine It is the only way to be sure I leave no stone unturned In my quest for understanding I must know the cause To comprehend the effect My honor demands this work Only logic and reason can guide me To the fairest outcome The most balanced conclusion There is no room for bias No room for emotional subjectivity I employ open-minded objectivity To uncover the lessons Hidden in the bits and pieces before me No matter how pleasant or painful What is just and balanced must prevail -gws
