I surrender my hands go up
Against the wall I lean
Fears, anxieties, pains and past hurts
Surface to taunt me
What must I do
Where can I go
My mind searches for the answer
People coming and going
Passing and bumping
No one sees me
No one hears me
Even though their right here with me
My mind says
Your in it alone
No one cares
So why shouldn't you risk it all
But far away stood a being I knew not
Strong and fierce was He
I heard my mother say
He would be there
When I could no longer stray
I saw his hand reach out to me
With a strong softness
He beckoned for me
Those fears that taunted me held my feet like chains
But I knew if I did not move
He would leave
And I would be forever lost
Among the multitude in solitude

A beautiful winding path
Tall trees looking down below
Leaves falling as I go
Peace among the rustling sounds
Joy fills my mind
No worries
I am happy
Colors bright and vivid
Wind is crisp and pleasant
No people
No fear
Just me with my Creator near

A new thing has happened, a new consensus reached, new wise men crying out in the streets. A message as strange, as it is bold, conveyed to those who are of yet not very old, spreading like fire to those who desire it.
A wisdom that fills the mind with understanding, and the heart with wrath, they no longer desire the common path, a small few among many, the trail blazers rise.
The wise see through the facade, leaving the lies for  the fools, and the pawns, they see the existence with no purpose that the masses adore, In ignorance they find peace, in the lack of knowledge they are content.
A lie no different from the last is enough to throw a life away without regret, blindly excepting whatever is presented as a worthy cause.
An absence of knowledge, and a surplus of faith, spiraling towards an unavoidable fate.

The winds blowing
Can you hear what I hear
A song
From the one
Who created the sun
Softly He whispers in the wind
A melody
Soothing your spirit within
Gently moving peaceably
Around your being
Letting you know
I Am is here
Just be still

I look back at the days gone by
And I smile, with tears in my eyes
Never thought we would be apart
My heart ached when we moved away
I never stopped talking about you
Forever my brother, my cousin, my friend
Now I look forward to the day
When as soldiers
We march together
With heads held high
Proclaiming the good news
That we both have found out
How great it is to know
That we were chosen
By the most High
To awaken and go forth
Strong bold and fiercely
Does your heart leap
Like mine
Does your soul feel glad
Just knowing how greatly we have been blessed
Will we pass the test
Can we make it to the wilderness
Focus cousin
Stay focused brother
And we will my friend

It ruptured
The wound inside
I dared not tell
Of the pain within
I looked fine
But I was not whole
As a little one
I was told nothing
I was not held
My cries were not attended to
My belly was not full
I hurt inside
Never told a soul
Until now
It ruptured
A sigh of relief
Now I can breathe
I can soar
I'm free
All because I released what was inside of me

With my hands on my hips
I looked back at the job that was just completed
All day in the field
Plowing and sowing
The suns beam was strong
There wasn't any wind
Just the hot glaring sun
My mouth was dry
Lips were parched
Back was tired
And my feet were aching
As I sighed and walked away
I was happy, pleased
And convinced
That life don't get no better than this
