DYLAN CARRTER REDSHAW
And even after the worst of days
The sky still lights up pink for me and the moon is the sun and the children still sing
Off key but beautiful, meaningful somehow
Meaning that searches and surfs and settles the depths of my soul
I was them before
And they will be me
And we are all each other.
You have to forgive yourself
For all of the mistakes you will inevitably make
You are human
It is not world ending
It’s just the passenger side mirror
It’s just a tooth
It’s just life
I break things!
I lose things!
I’m finding so much!
Objects are less important than they appear
I am not guilty
(I am not a coward like you
You know who you are
And you have to live with it)
(I am brave enough to choose love
Again and again and again and again
And I have to live with it and
I do)
I am human
I am a heart
I am an ache
I make mistakes
I choose grace
I choose children
I choose absolution all alone because I am trying my best and my best is enough and my best is different every morning I wake up different in so many ways and I don’t have time to explain or complain I just want to live before I die
I need my time wise
No timeline
I roll I rock I ride
I crash I care I cry and I
Flow feel float like a Butterfly
Forward like Water like Karma
Drop me off anywhere and I will
Evolve
I Am Evolving Endlessly
Innocent nature
To make mistakes
Is inevitable
Bleeding
It’s all apart of it
Everything makes sense this is the experience (and I’m making it up as I go!) ((like a poem!!!)) and nothing makes sense about being alive but
You are.
Somehow.
Someway.
Today.
Keep
Going.
Broken wings still fly.
All light has its shadow.
Bravery looks like little bugs and little girls and little by little by little by little
It’s not about you it’s not about you it’s not about you
Sometimes it’s hard to see it but
Sometimes it’s hard to feel it but
Everything that falls stops falling at some point
Everything has its landing
Everything has an impact
Death is birth and
Birth is death
And the past is only a lesson I can finally accept as a lesson and not as my Present
The past is what brought me to here
To you
To this blushing sky
To this moon
In our own sweet time
(Knowing this time could be our last)
It’s just money
It’s just material
It’s just my mind
Everything is a mirror
Take a good look
Keep looking
Keep living
Keep loving
Don’t lie
You are beautiful chaos
Fragile like a storm
Tough like a violet
The stuffed animals are for the nightmares
Miraculous and tragic
The bandaids are for the accidents
You are magic
You are purposeful and meaningful and nothing but chance MIGHT AS WELL DANCE
IN THE MIRROR
Objects are stronger
(Objects are stranger)
Objects are braver
And clearer and kinder and MORE AND MORE AND MORE
THAN THEY APPEAR.
Even after the worst of days
I find myself here
In everything
Everywhere
Thank you
