Yan's Labyrinth

Right now, I find that I am just tremendously grateful... And content...with you... Because of you..  That is all.

So today I woke up and my vision was clearer... My eyes were wide open and set aglow with understanding. My fears transformed into crystals of awareness and I was relieved... I allowed my senses to take over and enrapture me with renewed knowledge. I breathe deep and exhale loudly... Sending a surge of rejuvenation through my soul. My body... My body almost collapses from the intensity of the experience... Leaving me naked, reborn, revived... And ultimately transformed. I am a writer, a poet, a sinner, a child. I am a lover, a voyager, a reason for someone's smile... *smile* And I am graciously bosomed in this epiphany... And my mind? My mind, for this moment, ... is at rest. -Y.

... There are moments, days, when all we can do is be patient...

You bare scars, because you have been broken. They form ridges and curves and lines upon your soul... Your heart... And your mind. Creating a disfigured masterpiece so unique and individual, that its beauty is almost blinding... Captivating in its pain, Mesmerizing in it s resilience. You are beauty, because you bare scars, Fitted and molded to your creation... Imperfections and tear stains collide in gracious harmony...   So tranquil and serene, you could, just possibly, go deaf... You are life... as you possess bravery so reckless and demanding that it is enviable. You grab at these challenges as if they are gifts and embrace them within your very being as if to attempt to make them physically apart of you... Like a limb, made of mistakes or a child bore of defiance. You are love, ... Because you are in existence. So pure and rare. That at times I feel my heart may stop from being in your mere presence. So radiant and unfamiliar, in all of it's comfort......

Sometimes my mind travels to that place, where you reside and I am angry. I will you away... But still you rear your head... Mocking me... Taunting me... In defiance. I am left depleted. Expelled... And thinking, "Without you, this darkness. Would I even exist?" -Y. Salmon *Original Image courtesy of @instagrafiti

Sometimes my mind has visions, thoughts and memories. And sometimes they are dark... I'm not sure why. But that's how it is in the mind of a human I suppose...

So I'm standing at my bus terminal, waiting on my bus to arrive. It's early and I'm sleepy and everyone is grumpy. Because it's Monday and no one wants to be in the cold or headed to work.... Anyway, I suddenly find myself mezmerized by this girl's beautiful head of hair... And I think she feels me staring, because she turns around suddenly and I am stunned at the fact that she possesses the same set of eyes as a really close friend or at least someone I used to be close to. I haven't spoken to her in awhile... She was pretty awesome and I find myself missing her sometimes. But life,... Life has different plans for us at times... Anyway, I felt inspired, and thus this entry was made. Memory's Past Saw someone today and she had your eyes. I thought of you and wondered if you were alright. It set my mind adrift with memories of us laughing and singing out loud and boisterously...  ...I remember your first heartbreak. I remember your first love. I remem...

I envisioned you in the flesh today. Curled up beside me, breathing steady and light... My arms wrapped around your waist... As you nuzzle me unconsciously. I envisioned you as a part of me. Completely and wholly... And I smiled from my soul... No hesitation... No fear. I smiled and then rested with you... In my arms... In your arms... Completely. - Y. Salmon

Sometimes we forget to take a step back and inhale. We forget the beauty of simplicity. It's elegance. It's grace. We forget to appreciate what we have been blessed with. We take it for granted. Well, today. In this moment. I am just so grateful... I am.
