The Void
There’s this longing inside me I can’t put my finger on.
Every time I think I know what it is,
is quickly escapes my grasp -
stamping its footprints in the labyrinth of my mind.
Leaving clue of what it could be -
disguising itself as love, friendship, happiness.
What is this void that consumes me?
How do I fill it?
I guess the only way ton understand, is to run after it...
And if I run a little faster,
maybe one day I will catch up.
//the void.

Song: Stavroz- The Finishing
It's Not Normal
It's not normal
to see our kids dying.
Bodies laid on the streets -
leaving family and friends crying.
It's not normal
to be scared to go outside,
because you never know
when two gangs will collide.
It's not normal
to say goodbye to another soul
who was too young to go.
Another victim of unregulated gun control.
It's not normal
to think this is just everyday life.
Being used to living in fear
of the country's never ending strife.
​
Song: Dona Maria Como Vai Voce
Lost Paths
What is going on in the world,
where man has lost his love for others?
Only seeing from his set of eyes,
and forgetting that we are all sisters and brothers.
We must remember our light within,
and pray for the souls
that have lost their paths -
for only love can fill those vacant holes.
We often forget that we are divine creatures
with the immense power to feel -
the fire that burns inside,
which is the power for change and the power to heal.

Song: Toto Bissainthe - Lamize pa dous
Speak Up
Speak up
if you have something to say.
Your words are powerful,
they have a message to convey.
Speak up,
because you have the light
to inspire others -
so bright it illuminates the night.
Speak up.
Others want to hear from you.
They will listen -
ears open to your point of view.
Speak up -
your voice is like the greatest symphony,
that transports music through the channels of infinity.
So I beg you – speak up.
Open your chakra located in the throat -
it’s the only way to express
the beautiful words that you wrote.

Song: Makadem & Behr - Nyako (Daisho remix)
The Feeling
I can’t see it,
but I know it’s there.
This feeling in my gut
come in waves -
alerting me there is work to be done.
Each time the feeling comes,
the intensity grows much stronger -
making is presence known.
I realize that
I’m being energetically shown.
that something is shifting,
but I can’t yet understand.
Whatever the reason - it’s outcome will be uplifting.
​
Song: Romare - Down the Line (It Takes a Number)
Who I am
Who I am
is not who I was.
And who I thought I would be,
is not who I’ve become.
So, this leaves me to question,
who am I?
​
Song: Yusuf Lateef - Like it is
Trust
Trust the process
guided by your light.
You are connected
to your soul’s delight.
Trust that you
are going on your way.
Because where you are now,
is where you’re meant to be today.

Endings
Thank you for what you’ve shown,
but I won’t be needing you anymore.
I’ve taken the lessons and outgrown
What no longer serves me.
Because it is time that I move on -
finish the chapter in this book.
For I have a new story to write,
filled with bright hope and new energy.
With the arrival of the full moon
I embrace these endings in my life,
and look forward to what’s coming soon.
​
Song: Troja - Shanti
The Past
I am not my past.
I’ve lived through that,
and I don’t look back.
It has made me into who I am,
but it does not rule me -
for I am me now.
Knowing this, sets me free.
​
Song: Odesza- Boy
The Shift
There’s this invisible layer that we have to penetrate,
and it becomes apparent when we are ready.
Each price reveals itself slowly
from the hidden depths of where they are stored.
It comes at an instant -
with a spark of illumination.
It comes when we least expect it,
only after we’ve done the work.
But don’t get yourself fooled,
because it’s a long journey ahead -
not the easiest or the shortest,
but it’s worth each prayer that’s said.
