Befuddled
      (as if)
I was walking on the rain

The rain
     (so cold)
Was it fog or the
     (formation)
of another
     (lost)
and listless soul

Even snow
     (falling)
would be warmer than this

I speak of the
     (blackness)
far beyond the absence
of the light

Truly staggering the
    (immensity)
of the nothingness
that swallows whole
everything in sight

Jesus walk upon the water
I just walked upon the rain

Yet he stood upon the
    (firmament)
I just stood upon it's
     (soaking)
pain
While sitting one night , in the dark , in total silence , I was suddenly engulfed by a blackness far beyond that of any emptiness I had ever experienced . Was it what death would be like ? All I know that in it nothing exists at all . Nor even any light .

You walk across the room
in your black *******,
a cigarette in your hand
and turn off the fan
in the open window,
like an undertaker waiting
by the door for the headlights
in the driveway debating
another swig from his flask,
like a ***** blowing smoke
in the dark flicking ash.
When you're afraid
you lose out.
You'll miss opportunities you could have had.
When you're angry
you'll ruin all opportunity set in front of you.
Anger leads to spite
and spite crushes all that lies in front of it.
When you're depressed
you'll just stop
or you'll want to.
Depression and sadness
lead to a path that ends where it began.
But hope.
Hope is our most dangerous of all emotions.
It comes from nothing.
We as human beings
will create hope anywhere
at anytime.
And
while to some this may seem powerful
I can't help but find it a flaw.
There is nothing worse in this world
not apathy
not rage
not terror
than being left without that spark you created.
There is nothing worse
than finding your hopes to be false.
Live this Life to love others, to help others.
Live this Life to help others, in all that you do.
Live Life sharing your gifts to help others to live.
Live your Life as if you were going to die tomorrow.
Live your Life without guilt because you do care.
Live your Life through loving others unconditionally.
Live your Life, like Jesus lived his Life here Loving .
Live your Life, because you know Christ loved you first.
So Live your Life Loving others into the Kingdom of God.
