In the dance of body and mind, intertwined, Distort the body, the mind’s path unwinds. Disrupt the mind, the body’s rhythm breaks, A cycle of chaos, each part it takes.
Western medicine, with its potent pills, Prescribes for the body, yet the mind it fills. Natural processes, disrupted and torn, A dependence on pharmaceuticals is born.
The body’s whispers, now muffled and weak, The mind’s clarity, a distant peak. In this cycle, we seek to find, A balance of body, a harmony of mind.
Holistic paths, a gentle embrace, To heal the body, the mind’s grace.
Regain control, as a captain taming the sea,
Steering through storms towards serenity.
This tempest, fierce and wild, shall let loose its hold,
Releasing you from chains, stories untold.
And winds subside, and skies unfold,
Know that within your spirit, courage takes hold.
The beauty in the flow of thought, Lies in our imagination, softly caught.
A river of dreams, both wild and free, Crafting worlds for us to see.
In silent whispers, ideas bloom, Painting colors in the mind's room.
With every turn, a new creation, Born from pure imagination.
Through valleys deep and mountains high,
Our thoughts take wings and learn to fly.
See without seeing,
Eyes closed, yet visions clear,
Hear without hearing,
Silent whispers we hold dear.
Feel without feeling,
Touch the essence of the soul, Know without knowing, Wisdom making us whole.
Be without being,
In the stillness, find your way,
Transcend the fleeting, In the moment, always stay.
Give yourself permission to let go and to hold on tight;
Astute meditation, revolving might.
Every pulse an echo of the constant fight,
To balance the inner darkness and light.
In shadows deep, where silence reigns, A journey marked by unseen chains.
Through corridors of night we tread, Seeking solace in the dread.
The echoes linger, cold and stark, In every heart, a lasting mark. To depths unknown, we cast our gaze, In twilight's grip, we lose our ways.
Enticed by voids, we break the ties, In newfound space, where darkness lies.
With every step, a story traced, In haste we move, yet time erased.
Breathe in, breathe out, a gentle flow,
Shifts in posture, let the tension go.
Adjust the level, find your place,
Acceptance blooms in this sacred space.
Pain may linger, but here we stand,
With open hearts and open hands.
Acceptance goes a long, long way,
In this place, we find our stay.
No light to guide, no hope to find, In the abyss, l'm confined.
The darkness whispers, cold embrace, In every shadow, I see my face. Bound by chains of endless night, The struggle fades, devoid of light.
The pain, the pain, the beautiful pain, A constant presence, a binding chain.
In depths of obsidian, I remain, The shadows have won, and here I stay.
Your words so sweet, I oblige thee.
My words flow freely as I confide in thee,
Harmoniously, I shall reside in thee.
Effortlessly we flow,
Through light and shadows we go.
You have become all that I know.
In shadows deep, where silence reigns, A ceaseless ache, a binding chain, Through endless nights and weary days,
It weaves its thread in darkened ways.
No dawn to break this somber spell, In hollow depths, where sorrows dwell, A rider on a steed of black,
Through dreams of pain, no turning back.
Each step a whisper, cold and stark, In realms where echoes leave their mark,
No respite found, no solace near, Just endless paths of silent fear.
—Timothy Charles Carter
Can’t remember if I’ve fallen or have been pulled back into this …
Every time I fall, I think of you,
No matter how I fall, no matter when I do.
In moments of despair, It is you that i find there,
Your presence fills the air, no emotions can compare to me with you.
When I stumble and the world feels cold,
Your memory is a warmth, a hand to hold.
Like a never-ending plight, it seems,
A tempestuous fight, in endless dreams.
In the howl, in the echo's call,
In the night, where the stars enthrall.
The fight within, the rise after the fall,
Like a phoenix, destined to stand tall.
Never give up hope.
Acceptance, humility—they whisper truths in the silence of the night,
Of a life lived with grace in the softest light.
In their constant presence, we find a steady ground,
A sanctuary of the spirit where our true selves are found.
In the softness of her gaze, a warmth unfurls,
A smile that melts the coldest of worlds.
Tranquil thoughts in her presence arise,
A tingling sensation, spine to skies.
Her voice, a melody that gently entwines,
In every note, a shiver divine.
Such is the power held in her eyes,
A tranquil force, where serenity lies.
Let her warmth be a guiding light,
In her smile, find solace in the night.
For in the cadence of her tender voice,
You’ll find a haven, a reason to rejoice.
She is as gentle as the rain, yet she holds the power of a tsunami.
God
God
God doesn’t cause good or bad to happen
God allows good and bad to happen
God allows his creations to cause good or bad to happen
As it serves his purpose to teach us right from wrong
For such is the will of God
Holy God and father in heaven guide me in the truth
Come what may
In the quiet of our hearts, we find A kingdom vast, serene, and kind.
No need to search the skies above, For within us dwells the light of love.
In every breath, in every thought, The presence of the divine is sought.
With open hearts and spirits free, We embrace the truth of eternity.
So let us walk with grace and peace, And let our inner light increase.
For in the kingdom of our soul, We find the path that makes us whole.
The day’s last light fades into the hush,
Evening’s arrival with a gentle rush.
In the glow of dusk, I find my seat,
Basking in the night, sacred and sweet.

Stars awaken as the sky turns deep blue,
A celestial canvas, each night anew.
The world slows down, and in this space,
I find solace in the night’s gentle grace.

So let the evening come, let the stars shine,
In this sacred moment, I and the divine intertwines.
With a grateful heart, I embrace the night,
In its tranquil presence, everything feels right.
When all is silent, a sacred peace ensues.
In the dance of days, where moments fleet, I greet with a smile so sweet. In the whispers of dawn, in the hush of night, I bless your soul, in love's pure light.
For in each greeting, a bond takes flight, A connection deep, beyond mere sight. And in each blessing, wisdom found, A sacred echo, a timeless sound.
So let us greet with hearts so grand, And bless with a gentle, understanding hand. For in this journey, we all withstand, The beauty of life, so vast and grand.
Within us lies a power so divine, Positive energy, a healing sign.
It mends and soothes, with a gentle touch,
Healing body and mind, with its clutch.
So let us choose the energy we feed,
For it's the essence of our every deed.
Embrace the positive, let the negative part.
Self healing lies within us.
Heaven above, the light shines through the animated branches of lively trees. In the loving rays gently moving through, I feel God’s heavenly embrace, as the trees courteously make way for heaven’s love.
When we cast a stone in anger’s wake,
Ripples return, our peace they take.
For in the hurt we choose to give, lies the pain within we live.

Negativity, a shadow cast,
In our spirit, it holds fast.
A burden heavy, dark, and grim,
Dimming the light that shines within.

Yet,when we sow seeds of gentle care,
Love returns, to us, fair and square.
For kindness shared is kindness gained,
In the cycle of life, so ordained.

So let us choose the path we tread,
With thoughts of harmony, not dread.
For when we heal, not harm, we find,
Peace of body, spirit, and mind.
The energy we give is the energy we receive
Sweet melodies I keep in my mind, They flow as visions, expressions known,
A matrix inside, so sublime,
Territorial glee I find, Within a sea, harmoniously.
See God, both good and bad, in the image of others.
Hear God, both good and bad, in the messages of others.
Understand what is seen and heard,
And know God more intimately through each other.
—Timothy Charles Carter
In lands where ancient echoes call,
'Neath olive trees that stand so tall,
The question lingers, heavy, cast,
Israel God's chosen or self chosen—vast.

A land that's waged a war, it seems,
Against both civilians and Hamas streams,
No line drawn 'twixt  darkness or light,
A struggle that endures through night.

The Palestinian people bear the toll,
Of a conflict that consumes the whole,
Paying the price of an unfocused hate,
In a history's shadow, they contemplate.

As though blinded by the night so deep,
Where tears of mothers silently weep,
For peace, for solace, for wounds to mend,
For a dawn where all hearts can blend.
“Mercy,” He said, is the higher call, a gift of grace offered to all.
For justice measures and gives each part, But mercy heals the broken heart.
It sees the sinner not just the sin, And invites repentance to begin.
“Blessed are the merciful,” He proclaimed, For they shall receive the same. Not an eye for an eye, nor a tooth for a tooth, But love that seeks the deeper truth.
For in each act of forgiveness shown, the seeds of a greater love are sown. And in this love, we find release, from bonds of bitterness to peace.
So let us walk the merciful mile, With open hearts and a gentle smile. For in mercy’s embrace, we truly find, The justice that’s compassionate and kind.
In every act of kindness, in every tear we dry, In every moment we live, in every last goodbye.
Jesus walked not in temples made with stone, But in hearts, where seeds of love are sown.
He taught not of rituals, robes, or creeds, But of helping hands to those in need.
I could easily be All that you think you see
A monster void of light
Indiscriminate in my chosen fight
Unjustifiably me
My only purpose to defeat thee My book you believe you have discovered
By my cover
For you live by your judgement
Of any other
Than those whose purpose you perceive
To be aglow in the light of holy destiny
I love all people
Those i like
Those i do not
To love anyone
You do not need to like them
To love someone means to do no harm to them
Melting, dissonance, encroaching, Vaporous, unknowing, Slipping through time, now approaching, A melody of words, flowing.
In the haze of twilight's breath, Moments blend, dissolve, and fade, Unseen whispers, silent death, In the shadows, light is made.
Vapor trails of thoughts unspoken, Echoes of a distant chime, Fragments of a dream, unbroken, Dancing on the edge of time.
Understanding without knowing, In the | stillness, truth is found, A symphony of life, bestowing, Harmony in chaos bound.
Just one of my daydreams
No song could ever replace
The music in your voice,
A melody so pure and sweet,
It makes my heart rejoice.
No image could ever capture
The beauty of your face,
A vision of such loveliness,
No art could ever trace.
No sunlight could ever match
The light you bring to me,
A radiant glow that warms my soul,
And sets my spirit free.
I give of my heart freely for the energy your visage brings me.
A constant reminder Of life sustained.
Remain within oneself.
Let go of pleasure.
Live a life chained.
Live the insurmountable,
Your only claim to fame.
When we view ourselves in a different light,
The chains of doubt lose their binding might.
We're not changing the core of who we are,
But how we see ourselves, from near and far.
In the realm of words, we weave our
fate,
Meanings shift, as contexts create.
Purpose and usage, a delicate dance, Lives described, in every glance.
From our lips, spells are cast,
Echoes of the present, shadows of the past.
We build and break, with every phrase, In this spellbound world, we set ablaze.
Subjugated to the words we choose, To uplift, to bind, or to bruise.
Spellcasters all, in this grand play, With words, we shape the night and day.
The ancient forces challenge you.
To rise above or fall in line,
To seek the peace or cross the line.
The echoes of the past resound,
break the chains or heed the cries.
The path you take is up to you.
Your choice can shape the course of life.
Choose your path wisely.
Take a breath, let stillness be your guide, even in labor, peace resides. Moments of rest heal and impart, A balm of quietude for the weary heart.
In this respite, you find a sacred space, a pause unconfined, Where heart and mind, in tranquil bind, Recover strength, become realigned.
In the tapestry of life, we weave,
Threads of moments, hearts that grieve.
Many have died,
Leaving parts of themselves behind.

In the quiet whispers of the night,
Their essence lingers, soft and light.
More felt and understood, we find,
These moments shared, heart and mind.

With you, the veil of time does part,
Revealing truths within the heart.
Together, we embrace the past,
And find the love that ever lasts.

So let us cherish every breath,
For in each moment, life and death.
In the presence of a kindred soul,
We find the pieces that make us whole.
Our shared experiences of love and loss bring us all closer together.
In the garden of emotions, love may bloom wild, a vibrant flower, tender, meek, or mild.
But deeper still, beneath the surface lies, the soil of respect, where true love’s root abides.
For love without respect, a fleeting flame, may rise in passion, but wanes the same.
Yet when respect in love’s foundation dwells, It forms a bond that time nor trial quells.

Greater than love, respect does stand, a silent guardian, a steady hand. It nurtures love, allows it space to grow, In the warm light of acceptance, it glows.
So let us plant respect first in our heart, for where it lives, true Love shall never part.
Respect is the foundation that allows love to flourish.
No matter how far you delve into the darkness, do not forget to return to the light.
See the beauty in tear-stained eyes. Soar above earthly trivial things, Touch the stars with hands unclenched, Taste the nectar of life’s sweetest quench.  Shed the armor of ego’s fight, Embrace the softness of a moon-kissed night.
See the beauty in all things.
If you seek justice for yourself and others, you must fear God, for God grants us what we desire. However, if you seek mercy for yourself and others, you need not fear God.
—Timothy Charles Carter
Once secret lives now noticed.
No longer illusionary to his mind, His perception, perceived perception.
Untwined from hither to tither, It falters, as truth seeks balance.
No longer does it falter, So long as it fosters The essence which began the thought process.
Though your sins may fulfill you in this life
They serve no purpose upon you in the next
Prepare yourself for what will be
Seek mercy for yourself and others
In preparation for what is to come
And in peace you shall reside
For time here is fleeting and ambiguous at best
Though innocence is not needed
Repentance is required
In these moments acceptance shall serve you
Cast judgement aside
In him with him in unity with God the creator you shall remain
Stay close dear soul, in this tempest’s gale,
Where shadows threaten to unravel and assail.
Don’t walk away, for within our shared breath,
Lies the tether that keeps us from the edge of death.
When separation looms, life turns grey,
A canvas devoid of hues, where dreams sway.
A delightful treat,
It lingers on the tongue.
To peaceful visions I succumb, A gentle balance of taste and desire.
From this sacred space, I shall proceed,
The sweet is all that I seek.
In the hush of the twilight, dreams await,
Slumber beckons, the stars narrate.
Lay down your head, let the night enfold,
Rest your bones, let the dreams take hold.

The pillow soft, a cloud in the sky,
Carries you to where the dreamers lie.
Through the night, may peace be your guest,
In the sacred silence, find your rest.

So close your eyes, the journey’s begun,
To the land where dreams and night are one.
May the moonlight guide you through the flight,
Until dawn returns with the morning light.
Sleep is a meditative sanctuary.
Vast expanse of the cosmic sea, Galaxies bloom like ancient trees.
Suns, planets, branches wide, Drawing life from the source inside.
Energy flows, radiant stream, Uniting all in a shared dream.
Leaves of stars, fruits of light, Nourished by cosmic night.
From roots unseen, deep and strong, Life's melody, a timeless song.
Each note a world, each chord a sun, Together in harmony, we are one.
Misguided steps, manipulated, broken,
Fragments of a life, tokens,
Memories, dark, awoken,
Provoking ramblings, choking,
Left for dead, moping,
Listless, out of time.
When a dark memory lingers.
The monster within seeks the light, In shadows deep, it craves the fight.
Painful gains, a heavy toll, Weakens body, burdens soul.
Freedom whispers, a distant plea,
Yet ingratitude’s reality,
A slave to self, forever bound, In silence, echoes all around.
The words, the words, they’re everywhere,
Run away from them, but to where?
I see and hear them, night and day,
Every awakened moment, here to stay.
Make sense of them I must,
To gain my own undying trust.
It’s a subtle shift, yet it holds great power,
Turning a seed of thought into a blooming flower.
Change the lens through which you view,
And watch life take on a hue anew.
Embrace change.
