Time To Play ©Molli Paige

2022-07-14T18:18:00.005-07:00

We are all playing within our own game

Perpetual hope hidden in the main frame
Finding it is part of the plan

Hoping some day it will change

Instead of living the days in negative extremes

A constant battle going on, it seems

Deep inhale, let that internal smile play serene

Shining bright in all you do, letting others see
Living through your heart is the only way to be

Raise Your Vibration ©Molli Paige

2020-11-09T11:43:00.001-08:00

Love or Hate. Light or Dark.

Negative, Positive. Bad or Good.

In all degrees, living a dualistic world

Uncovering the notion of what we thought we knew

Everything a tool, an opportunity to discern

Choices! -- To shine bright or crash and burn

Every experience, revealing more and more

To defer, or see what we truly prefer

Merely stepping stones, opening new doors

A chapter within each of our individual lore

Yet intrinsically woven together as one whole

Bringing us closer and closer with every turn

Raise your vibration and see what it's all for

We are Light. We are Love. We are One.

The World As We Know It ©Molli Paige

2018-01-10T11:42:00.001-08:00

I'm tired

Tired of being quiet

Quiet, in moments where I should stand up

Stand up for the heart that beats inside

The beat inside, which keeps the soul alive

Alive to breathe, to love and be loved

Loved in a way that respects and transcends

Transcends the mind to grow beyond

Beyond the physical experience we see

See through the conventional thoughts and beliefs

Beliefs that scream so loud, your eyes get shrouded

Shrouded to the point where it seems blinding

Blinding all the obvious that lies in our view

Our view as a whole, you and me and everything
Everything showing our very true colors

The true colors and nature of our state of being

Being the one, that stares back at you in the mirror

The mirror that reflects every particle of you

The you that brings light in to the world

The world that is ours to build our own path

A path where--what we choose exemplifies the truth

The truth that only you can perceive as the way

The way that compliments and elevates to the supreme

The supreme state of mind, ever expanding and shifting

Shifting to your own growth, in your own heart
The heart that each of us should adore and cherish

Cherish all that you are and all that you see yourself to be...

............To be -- You -- All of you.

I Know For Sure --Songwriting Syle ©Molli Paige

2018-01-10T11:02:00.002-08:00

So many things here remind me of you

That's okay though, I choose to remember the good

Like that day on a whim, we went on a drive

Sitting on the beach, watching the tide

I close my eyes, feel your hand in mine

And all those times, you running your fingers down my spine

Finding passions in places, that made us feel high

Our talks about the universe and questions in life

Now your visions changed, in your mind

And I knew I had to say ...goodbye

I know, these tears are the last I cry for you

And I know...I know...for sure...we're through

That doesn't make it any less true

All the things we went through

In my heart there will always be a part of you

So many things here remind me of you

That's okay though, I choose to remember the good

You know your personal sway can make any girl swoon

Intoxicated by your lips and sipping whiskey for two

After the twilight, up on the hill, staring at the night sky

Wondering how many others felt the same that night

I can honestly say, I have no regrets in time

You will always be my wildest ride

Now your visions changed, in your mind

And I knew I had to say ...goodbye

I know, these tears are the last I cry for you

And I know...I know...for sure...we're through

That doesn't make it any less true

All the things we went through

In my heart there will always be a part of you

You changed the rules, you changed the game

I thought I could play, but honestly, there's just no way

I know it's not down my vein and that's okay...

'Cause I know, these tears are the last I cry for you

And I know...I know...for sure...we're through

That doesn't make it any less true

All the things we went through

In my heart there will always be a part of you

Personal Discovery ©Molli Paige

2017-12-24T07:33:00.002-08:00

Sometimes...it can feel like being lost

Lost, in a maze; that has no end in sight

Staying guarded and sometimes...feeling so damned tired.

Too many people think they know the words

The words to make your life worthwhile.

That's alright, but go ahead and use them for your own lifestyle

One mindset is not meant to rule the other

Thoughts are all speculations without a home...

...everywhere, yet belonging nowhere.

Love, will take you at some point or another

Spin you down to the ground

Or take you flying high

But still, you have to give it all

There's no other way...it's live and learn.

Life, no matter what, will have its twists and turns

Every thought you have shapes who you are

Every soul you encounter becomes a part of who you are

Choose wisely, 'cause sometimes it's hard to tell

Amidst the new fresh upside-down

Busy with one, the other may fall away unbound

Out of sight, out of mind, only to realize

That letting go of what you left behind

Was one of the things that held you strong

One of the things devoted, true and sound

Eventually it all comes clear down the line.

Since each and every encounter...tells-all in time.

All of this said, any revelations in life should never be denied
So fly, soar and be free on your path of personal discovery...

Ethereal Moment Of Now ©Molli Paige

2017-07-30T09:27:00.000-07:00

Living in that ethereal moment of Now

Is the only way to break away

From the suffering we believe has us bound

Holding on to the past, with chains heavy and cold

There has to be something brighter to hold

Living in your world with your eyes mostly closed

That kind of darkness can be toxic to the core

Not a thing is written in stone

Not a thing binds us to what we think we know

All is relevant, indeed, for sure.

Yet nothing is absolute!

Shifting our perception to what we want to see

Why waste moments on useless rephrasings

Making life a never ending parody

Clutching on to only common beliefs

Masters of limitations we concede

This is not our only passage way, you see

Challenges come, challenges fade away

Creators of our own paths

Moment to moment, we choose

Do we allow ourselves that time to breathe?

And allow ourselves to set things free?
Or do we muddle through
Feeling burdened, weighted, heavy without ease
Carrying luggage filled with ancient memories

I choose to soar

Granting my mind to travel beyond

Dropping the weight that would hold me down

Accepting of the fact, there is no control

And what is tangible is not mine to hold

The only certainty is the unknown

And to live in that ethereal moment of the Now

Let's Talk About Black or White ©Molli Paige

2015-11-15T12:45:00.001-08:00

Let's talk about black or white

Not the color of our skin

But rather,

Psychological beings

So many not seeing

The colors in between

We call it the grey,

But there's so much more

It's any color you want to see,

As long as you look further

Than the constricted lines of ones belief

There's so much we miss

If we stay blind and insist

On treating each-other, as if

It's my way or you don't exist

Let go of the black or white

Let go of only seeing this or that

The roads traveled in between

Have so much beauty and love to give

A revelation of a whole new world

A whole new way of seeing, as if...

...suddenly, there's no me or you

Them or us, or him or her

But instead, there's just simply

All...of us...and everything joined together

It's not implausible

With an open heart...all is possible

Ready ©Molli Paige

2014-10-05T12:18:00.000-07:00

Too long silent

I'm ready for love

Don't obsess

Definitely don't oppress

Or anyone in your path

Too long silent

I'm ready for Love

Not the kind

That comes with strings

Or the kind

That we've been conditioned to believe

But the kind

That makes you fly

Fly high

Alone or fly along side

The kind of love

That breaks away any chains

That are holding you down

With things

That don't even belong

To you

It's time

To let things go and breathe in

The kind of love

That's infectious and contagious

A kind of contagious

You don't mind

Taking in

Over and over

Until you feel an outrageous

Sense of truth

And can't help but share

With others

And before you know it

That's all there is...

This Love

That lets you be

.......everything

This Love

That's always been...

..........Waiting

Sometimes ©Molli Paige

2014-10-01T20:06:00.004-07:00

Sometimes...
You make it impossible to love you

Words come so easy from your lips

Turning everything
Upside down

Twisting the moment, twisting the view

'Til what we started is gone

You fuel your fire with nothing left to burn

          But Sometimes,
          When things are clear and true with you
          You give the sweetest love,
          Sometimes...Through every part of you...
          You give the sweetest love

Sometimes...
You make it impossible to love you

Something I say, you distort and debate

Turning it into a hurricane

Leaving a path of ruin and scars that won't heal

And it seems like you don't even know

One minute we're fine, the next
your leaving me with pain behind

          But Sometimes,
          When things are clear and true with you
          You give the sweetest love,
          Sometimes...Through every part of you...
          You give the sweetest love

                                                              Sometimes...you make it impossible to love you

You push and you push,
Yet expect me to come close

There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do

One minute your in, the next your out

Only to find you want back in again!

                                                  Your addiction to chaos...like you want the moment to fall
                                                       You want the moment to fall down

                              B u t, s o m e t i m e s.....

The Midday Sun ©Molli Paige

2014-09-30T22:10:00.000-07:00

Let the warmth and rays of the midday sun

run through you

draw you

fully embrace every part of you

floating and dissolving

into every particle

creating

a disbelieving feeling

of serene intensity

It doesn't seem real

this feeling you feel

illuminating some kind of shield

making all the negatives yield

allowing only positive notion...to enter...in

a perpetual smile

playing across your lips

showing no signs of defeat

an unfading and unbroken flow of motion

takes you

spins you

with eyes closed

tries to bend you

but with every fiber it resonates and does not sway you...

...into contention.

Instead it washes away

all that was never yours in the first place

let the warmth and rays of the midday sun

run through you

draw you

fully embrace every part of you

Dare to Imagine ©Molli Paige

2012-11-18T16:06:00.001-08:00

What a wonderful time

to have not disappeared

surging through reawakened dreams

every teeming soul

needs a place of reprieve

an undeniable space to breathe...

...without the choking persuasion

of everyday beliefs

Getting wrapped up in emotions

escape seemingly nowhere near

so far removed

from our natural state of being

separate is not the place we want to be

Dare to imagine

the relation weaved instinctively within

unveiled and released

all insidious intent

would fail to exist

all toxic beliefs

would fade and desist

Dare to imagine

our natural compassion mended and repaired

every heart radiating without despair

Dare to imagine

a full recognition coming so clear

rushing through...

...leaving not one shred of fear

Cherish ©Molli Paige

2012-11-18T15:41:00.003-08:00

Amazed through the years

by your abilities and strength

Today, content

with my memories

Loving to remember...absolutely everything

All the moments.

Of taking in,

truly getting to know

what it all means.

The comfort space of love

understanding...

...expanding from the inside

Fondness always lingering

Teaching each other to see the stars

showing each other we can see beyond

Laughing, crying, loving, being

all part of our belonging

Would never dream of forgetting

...one single thing...everything I cherish
All of this...

I cherish.

Life in the Mirror ©Molli Paige

2012-05-18T10:30:00.001-07:00

The reflection stares back at me

do I smile, or do I cry...

The mirror has no reality.

We decide.

...to give it life

or defeated demise

creating a paradox

from the inside

Linked with all there is

adopting someone's creation

with generated ideas
a tingling sensation, waiting to awaken

the physical quantum of realization

different from what we see

Just a fragment of one

you are what is and it is everything

There is no disconnect

an illusion of separateness

A concoction, like drops in the water

leaves a loss of reflection

Seeing your experience

shape shifting your own existence

Life, a mirror of your tears or your smile

it is your blueprint, your design

a reflection from you

we choose to observe and define

there is no you, without presence of soul

Road blocks are just a disguise

A built in meaning-less friction, meant to divide

rattles within our own vibration

Yet, every minute where we are

is exactly where we should be

Reaching for recollections

Trying to remember

the mirror reflects only what we offer!

Diving In The Reel ©Molli Paige

2011-11-23T20:33:00.000-08:00

You see her

walking

silent

veiled in a smokey haze

in the darkness

of the night

Her silhouette you imagine

she isn’t even anywhere near

her fingertips on your scars

she makes them fade and disappear

dreams lost, come back and reappear

Like a vampire standing still

with a penetrating view

diving in the reel

of the deepest pulse of your soul

She lingers in some quiet way

pulling the strings of fibers

leaving her scent

haunting

and craving in the air

She sees you

but when you reach

she seems to slip right through

leaving a fracture by way of heart

You wonder, was she ever really there?

With no illusions of tomorrow

you close your eyes

...and breathe...mindful...and with intent...

Of Many ©Molli Paige

2011-11-08T10:56:00.000-08:00

A sequence of numbers

making a shy recollection

a swirling of lights

misconstrued

followed by hushed evaluations

obstructing questions of truth

Voices heard, in and out of dreams

phenomenal stories told through the years

just to be told--it is mere imagination

Hieroglyphs, carvings, paintings to prove

yet to prevail--are fiction, myth and untruths

Making reverence of devotion

the ultimate restoration

blinded, entranced and completely deprived

they keep things clouded, shrouded and concealed

Visits of many have intertwined their ideas

yet, it’s made to seem just a likely fantasy

Denying the fractal point of infinity

how strange it is, for us to believe

everything outside of us ceases
to exist

Quiet Seclusion ©Molli Paige

2011-11-07T10:36:00.000-08:00

A silent refrain

in time

proves not enough

Instead,

a crashing defeat of mind

leaves things

absolute

and crushed

From a depth of knowing, yet unexplained

tears flow

without solitude or discontent

Shuddering sadness

eventually

subsides

and finds

its way

...into quiet seclusion

The Rains Veil ©Molli Paige

2011-11-04T18:44:00.000-07:00

A translucent sky, breathing in the night

as the willow whispers slight

in the hushed darkness

without words

she stands in wait,

a statue, quiet

patient and still

her skin, ever so soft

is the first to notice

the rains touch

like a veil caressing

intimately inviting
touching her face

the shadow of her body

cross like in shape

she thinks

maybe, just maybe, melt and disappear

become one with nature, swim in the sea

no complications penetrating her being

eyes closed and swept away

the secrets tangled in the wind

a smile plays

in the rains touch

like a veil caressing

relinquishing all that once was

she moves

poised, transference of thought
a breath in the night

knowing full well

the message entangled will get lost

Missing The Harmonies ©Molli Paige

2011-10-22T14:09:00.000-07:00

A quiet hush in their ears
Is anybody listening?
...they are missing...
...missing the harmonies...
...missing the subtle strings coming up in the verse
the falsetto voice just a veil in the chorus
even when the minor chord sets in
the beauty should have you breathing in...mesmerized
knowing there's something hidden...to be uncovered
there's too many people not listening

So much pretending
masking what's real
it's all too big
for one lifetime to fill
why waste an experience with hate
just to have a redo and repeat

We should be alive through each and every measure
but we're too busy running the distance, too busy to discover
never really listening to the inner rhythm
a blended orchestration, in constant motion

...quiet...listen, it's all around you and inside of you
a beautiful rendition...waiting to be heard and savored with pleasure

There's too many people not listening
...they are missing...
...missing the harmonies of life

Still ©Molli Paige

2011-10-21T10:16:00.000-07:00

I'll travel far, in my dreams, just to breathe you in

Inside that realm, your words can't sting

There's a want so deep, but it stays out of reach

Intent and committed to painting your own picture

keeping you from seeing the true colors of my nature

So, I'm no stranger to dreaming, I'll give you that

Still, I was

Still, I am, the same present of mind

it's not some foolish game, not some foolish thrill

the hunger for truth always yearns to be stilled

for so long, one by one, I held on for a change

just something that never came

I'll take the good, and stow it away

There's far too many landscapes we have made

some perfect combination of a dream through time

there'll be another you

there'll be another me

there's no turning off

there's no magic to delete

just a dimmer of a switch

casting a light in the shadows of this life

my heart will know when and where to find...

I'll travel far, just to breathe you in

Inside that realm, your words can't sting

2011-09-11T22:12:00.000-07:00

Awake, half dreaming

in a sensible state of confusion

is this real, or is this fiction

maybe it's our reality, that is the deception

Staring up into the night, the stars, the universe

...so many questions floating to mind

clouds riding the wind, undeterred and silent

the leaves, stealing what's left, whispering in the night

The light of the moon casting shadows

impressions of seemable despair

daunting any particular reasoning

eyes wide, we try to see, to predict

the flight of the sparrow

and question dreams of tomorrow

Remnant scars shouldn't impose on our direction

just transitory reminders of where we have been

with tears, echoing the past and awakened sorrows

leaving us dazed, deprived and slightly dejected

analyzing, justifying, words said and unsaid
only a quiet mind, let's the puzzle fall into place

The fire hissing, crackling

the flames splitting
as if trying to break free

as if trying to release some inner demon

giving the perception

of some illusive scene

Still awake, half dreaming

still in a state of confusion

is this real, or is this fiction

maybe...our reality is the deception

2011-09-10T21:25:00.000-07:00

From this vantage point, it’s crazy clear

There’s some who get it, but most just live in fear

There’s some who try, and the rest just sit there

Pacifiers, blinders, in a slumber unaware

A Stepford Wives complex in full affect

Shhh, keep sleeping, there’s nothing to see here

But I digress

I’d rather converge on the some

The some who get it and the some who want to hear

The some who are finally waking from the daze,

from a slumber of a deep conditioned space

The ones yawning, stretching and standing on their feet

Questioning why

Questioning the flaws in the way things are

In fact, I must say...if baffles my mind

How anyone out there is NOT opening their eyes!

To see there are birds falling dead from the sky

Or that there are fish dying, washing up before our eyes

Multiplied earthquakes, tornadoes, floods and anomalies unexplained

Science meant to be used to discover, has been used to destroy

Chemtrails, pesticides, chemicals and more,

poisoning our bodies and the land we tread

The definition of extinction has always been at a distance

It’s time to revisit the meaning and realize

Just how vulnerable we are in this human condition

We stagger and stumble in full repetition

Bringing things to the point of no repair, the universe will interfere

Go ahead and stay in simulated sleep,

shhh, there’s no need to wake

It’s okay, I guess

Eventually, the bed will shake

go ahead, keep listening to the lullabies and fairytales

I have chosen to tune in, to something beyond

I’m fully awake and listening with all that is me

to a hemisphere awash with everything that is out there

everything that flows in and out and through all that we are...

2011-09-01T10:41:00.000-07:00

Clarity comes within a flicker of a flame

Look away, blink and it may never come again

Sit with content

Run and leap in step with your heartbeat

Look and take in with full realization,

that each moment is no better then the next

Each moment there's something to see

Each moment is a smile in waiting

Our windows to the world

No cloth in our hand

Standing, turning around

surrounded with only

the walls and webs we spin

If all this time

life has been a masquerade,

a play on stage

Who am I?

The enchanter,

Outside of my body

Outside of my mind

Like a remote viewing

From a different time

An elated feeling

On a constant high

Everything is open

Seeing with my souls eyes

Stepping back from the painting

Taking it all in with a new light

I’m turning the pages from the inside

Unfolding the creases from the inside

Although I’m walking

I’m not on my feet

Trying to stay grounded

Sometimes, is too much for me

I refuse to look away

‘cause I don’t want to miss a thing

Resonating at some insane frequency

Embracing those able to reach me

...I’m okay, living with the notion

I breathe and smile and breathe again

knowing it will unfold the way it’s meant...to be

I’m turning the pages from the inside

Unfolding the creases from the inside

2011-01-18T17:16:00.000-08:00

we all have a hunger

we all have this encoded need

some of them cut so deep...when is there time to breathe

eyes closed, she screams in the night

the water slowly drips and runs dry
everything falls to a whispered quiet

listening to the blood in my veins

a slow, slow pulse beats silent and low
if I let it...
...it could sway me into a permanent trance

my heart refuses it though

breaking it down

and forcing it to speed

yet the balance

seems shattered

I’m on this swing, being torn

...a constant
back and forth

over and over

the shirt I’m wearing

is suffocating

my heart, no longer inside

...instead

is open wide

on my sleeve

leaving me

bleeding

and gasping...

for air

my fingertips touch, feel

search for the real

anything that’ll make it easier to breathe

the leaves

...falling

eyes closed, hands stretched up high
I hear

a whisper of a calling

of everything I know to be true

waiting for that indescribable light to shine through

making all thoughts and all the commotion fade
...down...

...down...to a whisper

...to a quiet whisper...

and disappear...

2011-01-17T18:35:00.000-08:00

What are the chances

fact or fiction.

some random event,
an idiom at best.

the chance-factor in life
getting us caught in time;

is love the answer
or is it not?

is the key hidden?

somewhere out of sight.

decades go by,
we can't go back.

a swirling array of lights
kiss, bounce and interplay...

...what are the chances?
