Rushed, crushed & swallowed whole.
That’s the feeling within me when I’m around other human beings.
Tongue is tied, twisted & my own voice gone from me.
Words escape me that bare no meaning & are not my own.
Deep fear of social rejection & never fitting in.
There a lot like me but they don’t like this me.
Where are the people for me that I can be intimate with.
Will I ever find them? Or am I one of a kind.
I’ll keep searching for them, one day I might find.

Can you explain the feeling you get
when the night touches you deep
with beauty, softness surrounding
each thought?

Can you count the days you smiled
when your heart was heavy with
pain and sadness, captivating
your peace within?

Can you believe before the dawn
appears, the night will say a last
good-night from the heavens,
a special star that stands out from
all the rest, sparkling like a diamond..

If you believe in miracles, gaze
around and see what makes your
heart feel good, this will only be the
start, wait till your song starts
to play, then see what miracles
will appear?

Can you now stand there in the
evening mist, feeling tranquil,
inspired from all the beauty,
and say you never seen a
miracle?

Face it, there are miracles
happening every day, they
go on, they happen, not to
the wealthy, or to the man
who brags, but to all who
search the heavens, watch
a flower open with beauty
and freshness..

Walk along the beaches, listen to the
roaring waves, the tide comes in, the
tide goes out, the freshness that opens
a space in your heart, a new beginning
in the life of miracles..

Believe, you shall never be sorry
you do!
