Grant Us Peace I know how it feels when the arrow pierces your skin hits bone and goes deeper within piercing the very soul. I have cried out in anguish throat raw with blood choking in the blood from remember what has been. I have died a little each time I realise life doesn't get easier because you will it so or because you think you know the heart of your most loved brethren. I have woken many nights with blood shot-eyes after seeing the mangled bodies of innocent lambs slaughtered just because of man and man. I know of bone chilling things that languishes without and within of a trauma filled void growing wider and deeper it seems. I have tasted the petrifingly dark taste of putrid flesh as it melts away from the wasted. So in this hour, another dark moment a constant threat that will be filled with many regret. Grant us Peace!

Sun Stroke
Sun Stroke Welling up - ready to overflow... The first gentle stokes leaves me quiverying deep,deep inside. Then a gentle breeze caresses it cools me down and sets me off my feet. I revel in the embrace of each golden ring chosen to give and not receive by whose touch I can live. A flamming torch lit to the heavens what a lasting impression. Never to be extinguished again. As my eyes close from the pleasure and pain, of the vermilion hue, it reconstructs my view that allows me now to pursue the Joy from that first stroke.
Final Thoughts
Final Thoughts Any final words today? Any way to beat this rain as I go my way? Do you have words of wisdom after skimming off the scum off your system? Now that you see the light lend me your shades or does it fade with time? I will let you speak - but one more question. Was it worth it?
Forgive Me
Forgive Me Forgive Me for making you chase waterfalls the wift of what could have been the dust of my essences as I float a drift lost to you and you to me. Forgive me as I swerve any which way I have no say I must bend to the wind. Forgive me for being sick of the ugliness of life for earth's sweet relief I will pray. Forgive me for the dim smile I promise to come back from my woeful lacking. Forgive me I will soon be like the sea free to flow freely.
Know Thyself
Know Thyself A look inside should tell you what the mirror cannot see the truth if who you are. The eyes are deceptive only picking up the glitter but never the dust that comes after. No journey can be complete until you know thyself
Death Card
Death Card Today I looked at a customized shell A shell of what was I cried I mourned and wept for the life once contained in that shell. I told myself - "it was okay". He has gone to a better place. My heart bleed blood red, green and gold the ugliest tears you cannot imagine. It had come face to face with its mortality. So fragile a light had been easily snuffed. He was poor and so he died cursed by inequity. Born to struggle he died flying. A fight from the womb like a warrior I saw death sitting stiffly presiding over its celebration. Its gray countenance a reminder of the road we all must travel. And I knew there must be more. Another story waiting to be told- on the other side?
Seeing the Light
It feels sometimes like life is one long sentence that seems to carry no full stop.
You then begin to wonder
at the wisdom of some of your choices
just when you're ready to stop,
you hear a voice telling you,
you're approaching the light.
Nothing is forever.
IS this a positive or negative?
Change is good whether you get what you wanted or not.
It's good to approach your challenges with the knowledge that
change is just around the corner.
This change that will ultimately lead to where you want to go.
Now should we wait to reach the light
To live?
The light is ready to be lit no matter the situation.
A smile to block out the pain,
a word of kindness to erase a wound
thoughtfulness and love to cure all incurables.
These are all
perfect ingredients to see the light,
to be in the light.
When you decide not to hold on for dear life,
maybe then you can live life until you can't.
It never pays to stop
to wonder what road will lead to success,
that vision has been
compromised.
Better to be led by the light.
Close your eyes,
see and trust what you cannot see
with your eyes wide opened.
The less you know of those dark places,
the more likely it is to feel
the power of the sunshine
the wonder of the moon light.
To never wonder at miracles
likely to happen when you stop
looking for all that is wrong and celebrate
that one good thing.
Just think,
this life will never be yours again.
This smile last for only a while,
these hands can only flow for a moment.
Stand straighter
step strong,
move with fluid movements.
celebrate this one good life.
Feel the wind
lift you higher
and no matter what,
don't look down.
Your destiny does not lie in looking down
but flying higher and higher.
No one said the flight would be smooth.
Ride the wave
of the turbulence
laugh in the face
of storms past,
present
and those to come.
Allow the wonder of finally seeing the light to be
the eighth wonder of the world.
Better yet make it the only wonder that counts.
It is hard to begin,
but once you have started to see,
you can glimpse the beauty that was already there.
When you have lost much,
put the brightest and loudest colors on what you have left.
Those are what matter.
When you finally rest in the light,
smile,
you made it.
Finally, you have seen the light.
