Destiny

what is destiny?
 
is it the want for a love...
one that fits all the desires that we're looking for...
the ultimate soul mate who knows us and understands everything we are...
 
is it the unknown adventure...
the travels that take us into the future...
the ride of a life time filled with the new and exciting...
 
is it winning...
is it the losing....
or the loss and gain and loss again...
 
are we living it each day...
or have we already had it...
is it what we make it out to be....
 
is it measured in tears and heartaches...
laughter and smiles...
or in the silence and still just before sleep...
 
is it ever circling...
ending and beginning with no notice...
wrapping around time and space...
 
does it explain hope...
bring us to an end...
will we know when it arrives...
 
do we try and change it...
or is it all predetermined for us...
even possibly a vague elusiveness that always remains out of reach...
 
is it our suffering...
to continually know pain & hurt...
or is it the getting back up after the fall...
 
do we find it at the end of a rainbow...
can we touch it & hold it like a child to a toy...
or is it simply the reason to never give in & never give up...
 
how will we know once we've reached it...
how will it feel to finally be engulfed by it...
or could we be in it now...
 

is it leading us out of the darkness into the light...
is it strait forward or twisted like vines through the jungle...
or is it split into 100's of pieces for us to pick up & put together...
 
is it a fickle bitch...
or the warming calm...
or just a simple desire...
 
where will your destiny lead you....

Boxed

A box. What a simple way to store things. There are boxes of all different sizes for all of life's large & small needs. Boxes so big you can cover a car & ones so small that a single gem can only find room to sit. Some boxes fold in helping to hold down the overstuffed seams, while others have nicely fitting lids for easy access. There are boxes with handles & some are so decorative that they end up as storeable decor. There are even beautiful boxes that are so extremely ornate that we only see them once before burying them for all eternity while there are others that we dig up again years later.


We stuff our lives into these boxes. Filing out the old & unnecessary to be rummaged though again at another time. We stuff our paperwork & documents & everything that holds us accountable into special boxes that are then off to a hidden spot. Diamonds & watches & deeds & wills all get locked away into metal boxes that can withstand explosions & heists. Then there are other boxes that are falling apart & damaged by weather or moves. Some boxes get stuffed so full that pieces of innards start popping out like some sort of horror scene, while other's are meant to simply showoff the splendor found within. We then stack them to the ceiling & fill out every corner & inch of extra space.


No matter what....each box holds something special. As we return to each box...a flood of memories is only moments away. Memories of our childhoods are tucked away with that old stuffed toy. Pictures upon pictures of time & loved ones hidden away from the world but always return when a memory strikes up. A forgotten love resurfaces from an old letter found at the bottom of a box. Boxes that will make you tear up from seeing a specific memory or from not cleaning out that thing in the bottom of your camping box that was last used 8 years ago. We will hide special things in boxes to surprise or scare others. We take the time to decorate boxes to help entice the bearer even more.

The box can be used in a literal sense as well. We've all heard the terminology "to
think outside the box" or "hating to be boxed in". Most of us have gone to the Box Office or seen a box match. Some of us have ridden in a boxcar & some have eaten box berries. We even have stories of boxes holding all the evils in the world & religious artifacts. These simple & wonderful things can help us get organized & hold all things that life needs. So next time you see those brown cardboard boxes in the attic or garage or dust off those delicate or decorative containers....remember that they are doing exactly what you have planned for them to do....holding your life's belongings & therefore....holding you!

Everything

I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby and you've never met anyone
Who is as negative as I am....sometimes

I am the wisest one you've ever met
I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected
I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen
And you've never met anyone
Who's as positive as I am....sometimes

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting
And you've never met anyone as,
As closed down as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or...high I go

I'm the funniest one that you've ever known
I'm the dullest one that you've ever known
I'm the most gorgeous one that you've ever known
And you've never met anyone
Who is as everything as I am...sometimes


You see everything, you see every part
And you're still here
You see all my light and you love my dark
And you're still here
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here
A.M.
