Blog Guelph: That's Enough

Yes, it’s a new year. 

Time to think about things differently. Time to know those who care, time to see those who don’t. Time to move forward, time to leave the trail behind.  Time to separate love from shadows.

And it’s time to say that’s enough.
That I've tried and tried 
and now that’s enough.
I've offered myself honestly 
and now that’s enough.
I've been out there with my heart 
and that’s enough.
I've been out in the wind a long time 
and that’s enough.
I've been waiting for the tide to change 
and now that’s enough.
I will change it.

I've had enough
Of those who will not try
Of those who do not offer themselves honestly
Of those who are out there for themselves
Of those that will not stand in the wind with me
Of those who will not turn the tide

That’s enough.
It’s time to seek, time to journey. 
Time to wave goodbye, time to go. 
Time to hold the mirror against the sky. 
Time to cry.
Time to let it be damned, time to push back.
Time to shout go on, time to leave.
Time to close the door, time to pack your dreams.
Time to hope, time to grieve.

Time to just say that’s enough.
