Reignited

Flames ignited.
Fire burning hot enough to quench
Fire.

Blossoming colors, changing and growing,
Morphing into something that strikes new chords
Within the heart.

Familiar lightning explodes,
Though new shapes brand themselves behind the eyelids.

Love is a familiar fire,
Yet so new each time it flashes across the sky.

Well, in about twenty minutes it's off to rehearsal. I've never learned as much about myself in one place as I have in the Lehi High School auditorium. I've also never had quite so much stress... Or as much fun. :) I love it, though. I love it more than anything I've ever tried, apart from singing. I can't imagine how it would be if I hadn't been brave and auditioned for this class. I'm doing things and breaking barriers I never thought that I could. Go risk takers! :D

If you glean anything from this, it should be to stop hiding from yourself :) ...It's dang scary, but it's infitely more worth it. It's not that I'm not scared anymore, I'm just a whole lot braver. After that first step out of your comfort zone, the next one doesn't seem quite so taxing.

Stronger than words.

There comes a point in the emotional realm where words are simply not enough. I want to pluck my feelings from my very heart and transfer them directly into yours. It isn't enough, now, that I tell you my intentions are pure. It isn't enough that I tell you I'm sad, that I'm joyful, that I'm tired. I want to find words to make you feel this, to allow you into my soul to understand me.

I want to understand you. I wish I could take your emotions and feel what you feel, so that I might know how.

How to cheer you up, or on, or how to better share in your joys and successes. I want to know when you need me so I can be there. I want to be able to promise you that I WILL be there, whenever it is that you might have need of me in any form.

I wish you could know my intentions are pure. You can't, of course. You simply have to trust me. Sadly, it seems mistrust is most people's first reaction. Therefore my greatest hope is that one day you will trust. Though that risk of pain is interminable in this lifetime, opening up is the only way joy can be found within it. I must be allowed into your life to make a difference in it... Hiding from hope is the most detrimental of mistakes in this world.
