I wonder what i'll have learned
by the time I meet my death..
Will every second have counted,
or only the last breath?
Money is nothing to the departed.
And when the day is done and gone,
nobody finishes like they started.
What can I take if i can't carry it physically.
And where do I go when i am dead?
Out of all the lessons i've learned
can I remember any without a head?
Am I nothing or everything,
as I walk on earth in the flesh?
I am living everyday wondering,
if i'm just elements among the rest.
Tho I believe in heart-something like soul,
and against this there is no contest.
The wealthy don't have diamonds and gold,
but in wisdom they are blessed.
So I take pride in what I know,
and explore with the curiosity of a child.
I'm trying to ****** the days,
and overcome the wiles.
There must be more to discover,
cause how will the stars continue to shine?
After the morning I don't wake to another,
will I see a divine sun rise in the other side?
The end might be years away,
but it's always lurking near by.
It might even happen today,
or right now, or within the hour.
I don't know and I don't want to,
Some answers are as the thorns of a flower,
some knowledge must be felt or experienced.
There must be some greater objective.
With all I sought I found what best did,
put what's important into perspective.
Things that can never fall apart,
and that i will no longer let be neglected.
Cause i've found the truth in my heart,
I am a soul being perfected.

Shadow Paradox
I took a walk today
With my fluffy friend
My heart filled with blooms
Sunset painting itself across the sky

Down the hill I go
A person passes then stops

"Your dog is ugly"

I turn
Smiling so brightly

"Thank you" I reply

Person stares in disbelief
His friends laugh
I turn back and smile again
I continue walking; shaking my head

Yep, I had a good day today
Just me and my beautiful fluffy pal
My heart is too happy and filled with love

*I have no room for negativity. . .

Death-throws
This morning i had to wake up.
curled right next to you
bottoms gone tops my legs twisted around yours like red vines
the feeling sweeter then anything
you woke me with kisses,
soft as hershies
and i giggled bubbly like lemonade
i hope this feeling never fades
waking up
every morning
in sweet sweet love with you

How will you know
When you pass through a forest
If your eyes are
Glued to the road
How will you see all the life
That abounds
If your eyes are
Always closed

How will you hear
All the sounds in the air
How will you witness
The beauty that’s there
If you can’t spare a minute
For the red breasted Linnet
Or the little green Finch
And her operatic pitch

Or just for a moment
Stop to admire
The dappled twig arbors
And the great blue sky
Heaven has spilled out
All of her flavors
And all of this beauty
Is just yours to savor
If you stop for a second
The Larks song is pliant
Her cantor an echo
That her fledglings can follow.

the rain outside my window
grabs my attention
and lifts me
to the places
of my dreams.

I want to hide myself, in a forever fall.
Not okay with summer
My Father in heaven,
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to live,
Thank you very much for the gift of salvation,
Thank you for your forgiveness and love,
Thank you very much that even if I feel like I don't deserve your love and forgiveness,you still love me and forgive me,
Thank you very much for loving me despite all my wrong doings especially those I do on purpose,
Thank you very much for not leaving me alone.
Amen..

Mom
I felt like
I was the only one to hear
That kind of darkness in her voice
She will always disagree with me
Just to have power over me
I'm your mother, I know how you feel
Do you? Do you really believe that?
Like you never looked away?
Like you've never made it worse?
Because I can remember
You picking my wounds
And leaving me over and over
(At least he only left once)
I did everything for you
I gave up my life for you

I never asked you to, mom
I never asked you for anything
But now I am
For the safety you could never provide me with
*I'm your mother
You owe your life to me

You can't force a feeling.
Your pen will not be fooled.
Ink dries in mockery
Of your obvious lies
Leaving an imprint
Like the ghost of a shadow
Of someone you wish you were

Don't look down
At us
From your lofty
Palace in the sky.
We are the pillars
That hold you high

In the seas of night,
I wish to be with you,
Naked in a bed under stars,
All ocean and wake of dream,
For a true journey into the soul,
Fleshed out and wholly dispersed
Within the sheerness of locked peace,
Under the nearset stars of living light,
We could be, truly knowing in that air
And our eyes would climb, bursting
Into new heavens, hot in embrace,
Circle as we row among palms
And cheek joined with bliss
To a bed of touching love
Made for that journey
Beyond all reason,
Into the sun.
