Flux

by Liam 

The end, is a veil too thin to hide,

The quiet pause before the turning tide.

Life twists, it shifts, it will not stay,

A restless stream carving its way.

Closure? No, it’s all soil and seed,

Life the fertile ground for what you need.

The past, a shadow cast behind,

A fleeting echo of heart and mind.

Don’t cling to those colors that fade and fray,

The light ahead shapes your brighter day.

So bend, transform, and dare to dream,

What you believe in creates the stream.

From what is hidden, new form will rise,

Each end remakes what it implies.

And in its stillness, new beginnings sing,

Let your soul takes flight on a fresh new wing.

Resonance

by Liam

When my heart attunes to fields aspace,

Where gratitude, in love with silence blend,

Abundance moves through thought’s reflective place

And insights of the spirit mend.

Compassion lifts my veil of inner sight,

Appreciation warms my fleeting breath;

Understanding turns my mind toward the light

And love dissolves my fear of death.

Within a chorus where mindful thoughts do flow,

Cognition grows brighter in my living dream;

Introspection’s lantern starts to glow

And wakes me, the dreamer deeper in the dream.

Through inner light, the path of being shines more clear,

And finds the timeless present now and here.

The Shape of Love

by Liam 

When it’s the moon and stars I seek,

I ask the night

to hold me in its sight.

I wander

fragile,

worn,

weak.

relearning my name,

learning how to speak again

learning how to play the game

I place a rose into your hand

It’s not my thorns

that make you bleed.

It’s the way my gaze

unmasks what you had planned

Because truth,

truth cuts sharper,

sharper than anything I ever meant to hide

I trace my faults

in crooked lines,

insecurities carved across my bleeding mind

Every misjudgment

steals a little more sight,

until

bite by bite

I start losing

the one I was holding,

holding onto inside

I said I named my self

I said every choice was mine alone

I named my path

I named you too

But freedom frays

where hearts betray

and consequence,

consequence redraws us

whether we’re ready or not

And still….

like quiet dawn

melting midnight blue

your love

revives my world

Not by saving me

but by showing me

the shape

I’d forgotten

was already true

was already me

was already you.
