Follow the Light

Harsh and bright
the light
shines on us
ever before us
we see the dangers
real and sure
we stumble
buck we toe
catch ourselves
walk again.
the light
it bright
shows all the shadows
inside of us.
the light
has power
will us forward
removing us
from our story
of ourselves
so it can shine
in all those dark spaces
find what we seek
find what we need.

Let Me Vent!

Forget the label
see me,
see me!
See my tears
See my fears
know I have layers
Don't judge me
for being weak
let me vent;
relent!
Understand
I am allowed to be weak.
The truth is never sweet
it's sticky 
it's bitter
but it washes away
many lies
many disasters
many tragedies 
hiding behind a smile.
Can you give me grace?
can you let me go
at a kinder pace?

What Am I meant to learn?

I sit chained to my fear
submerged in doubts
adrift from my anchor.
What am I meant to learn...
from the withered flowers
from stormy seas
a love that don't involve me.
I wish I could see
ahead to what's meant to be...

I search 
time wasted
spent reaching dead ends
dead kingdoms bent
in destruction
spent by impotence...

But through I go
my story told
lessons I must learn
to grow.

Live Unto the Lord

live unto the Lord
die unto the Lord
do everything
unto the Lord...
for what else is there?
you name?
it will die with you.
your fame?
become infamous
in a world of grey lies and half truth
overshadowing all the good
you do.
money?
hahahaha
paper
burnt
lost
stolen
thrity pieces of silver
scattered in the dust
below a hanged man's noose.
Sit here my child
right at my feet
greet me
stop being busy
pleasing the weak.
Come here
sit down
here is the man with the true crown.

That Feeling…

I am not myself.

My heart beats
empty
echoing
like a shell
abandoned by the way
I sit with myself.
My heart 
soundlessly beats
missed steps
Time unsynchronised.
I lay.
I sleep.

Do I want to wake?

A touch crumbles.
Leaving scars
in place of resolve.
Can I find 
missing pieces,
scattered,
to the four seasons?

I am not myself.
How to get me back?
