looking out into the ocean
spanning into the horizon
a universe so much more expansive than this

the moon, a broken locket, shares its secret

i may or may not know you
but i love you.

what happens to people who wish upon a star, but tag their hopes and dreams upon a plane heading towards an unknown destination?

you and i are the same...flesh and blood and dreams that can not be contained.

smile.

because your spirit is free

limitless

unburdened

uncompromised

peace.

may all your dreams come true

and may you never be shackled by the fear of those who gave up on their dreams

smile.

because one day it will all make sense

*****

i hope someday you'll find me

like the poetry of the ocean and the infinite horizon

*****

smile.

because it's the truth

because your heart feels what your mind can not contain

because today life has blessed you with another day of living
stretching out beyond all that can ever be known
beyond all that is everyone and everything

smile.

because today you are free

and the universe dreams of you
your hopes and dreams
your freedom
and it hopes that some day you'll realize
the blessing of all that you'll become
and the blessing of all that you can be
still as yet unwritten...
