Beyond any understanding of readiness,
Past the present, onto the horizon of a next moment to spare.
Within a hidden emptiness,
Somewhere to be, not aware.
Where echoing tensions melt,
  Into a calming silence, allowing the Soul to articulate,
The heart listens to love as it translates,
Touching self expressions, it’s where peace in mind dwells.

In the likeness of dew
One can see
A nightly gathered convex galaxy
Gazillions of translucent pearls from her majesty
Infinite food for more than just whorls
Radiance expressed from a single source.
Mother ocean, giving us, her gifts, of course.
Touched, life unfurls
Who are we to think we can improve the design of this world.

Intentions,
Are the root of any matter.
Action,
The tree that grows from Intentions.
Words,
Are the branches that support our Intentions and Actions
Purpose,
The leaves and blossoms
That shelter and nourish our Intentions, Actions and Words.

I trust a candle
Not to burn me
But you're flammable
And you set fires
When you speak
So your words and I
We play hide and seek

I trust the waves
Won't knock me down
But you're stronger
Than the sea
And I stumble
When you're around
So I keep you far from me

Ed became my voice when mine grew too quiet.
After years of being told I was a difficult child,
I silently committed to my own disappearance.
I became negative space as Ed became my only identity.
No one has a voice when no one is listening,
and that is why I let the demons in my head speak for me.
