Unsettled.

Posted by bretthperkins on May 28, 2011

Unsettled.
As my ground is shifting… shaking.
Unsettled.
With the plans I have been making…
It’s foolish and naïve to think that living would be easy.
Each day I’m up my worlds change…  Can’t help this feeling… queasy.

Unsettled.
With irony I find…
I’m unsettled.
As these thoughts race through my mind.
With each new day I see my life continue rushing by…
So fast that I don’t have the time to say “Hello, Goodbye?!”

Unsettled.
In all that I’ve become.
Unsettled.
As it seems the time has come.
To acknowledge that I’m holding on to life’s realities
Instead of leading with my heart into love and fantasies.

Unsettled.
In seeking out the truth.
Unsettled.
I’m trapped in thoughts of youth.
Those days have come, and more still will… after all I’m not dead yet.
But I’m living life in yesterday and my focus is regret.

Unsettled.
With each new breath… new blink
Unsettled.
Exhausted now I think…
About the days that lay ahead…  The journeys yet to be.
That require me to let all go…  my friends… my family

I settled…
Perhaps that’s what I did?
Just settled…
Had no courage left to bid.
‘Cause what I thought was tongue in cheek was really there for me.
How could I miss the life-love of possibility?

Unsettled.
But now I have my time.
Unsettled.
Is an awesome frame of mind!
To motivate and put in motion awesome things in me.
To get me to a place my heart has always longed to be.
Unsettled.

Metaphors Galore

Posted by bretthperkins on October 25, 2010

The door now closed, forever will be

Turn around to see what there is too see

Dwell not within the path that’s end

Has come and left you here

About your face!  Go t’ward the place

That’s waiting for your entrance

For locked you’ll find the world behind

The path you’ve long since taken

If on the trail you catch your tail

Then all your goals have missed

For in the end, your life, my friend

Should always keep it hidden

Find Your Peace

Posted by bretthperkins on August 9, 2010

Beware this friend… for he is not!
Escape his sight.  Untie the knot.
Take back control and let him go.
Reclaim your heart from the frozen snow.
As darkness falls focus on the light.
Yes, it may seem to be lost in flight.
Enjoy searching and never cease in…
Dark betrayals… find your peace.
