No hope for heaven
Sarah Mew Dec 2015
I said my heart feels universal
She said before you take on the universe discover your salvation
Salvation of what
From what
She said you have no hope for heaven
I said we make our own heaven

I survived the conversation

It's our responsibility as parents to teach our children that this world has many belief systems. We must allow our children to learn about their individual spirituality and support them if they decide to choose a system of belief outside our own.

Perhaps by raising our children in the system of belief that we have accepted to guide our individual life paths, without also allowing them to understand that they are free to accept or disagree, leads to the idea that others have denied our beliefs and are wrong for theirs. Especially if we teach our children that our beliefs are more true than others or to disregard others beliefs with disdain, with disgust for their way of life. Especially if we teach our children to fear their spiritually by threat of punishment or damnation. Then not only are others wrong but they now deserve punishment and retribution.

We must be responsible and teach our children to hear openly, to share and receive love, patience, ideas, understanding. We must encourage them to seek and find what makes them whole. We must support their feelings and conviction because that's what makes a happy person, a strong person who has been accepted and will accept others.  We are responsible to teach our children that we all deserve to feel whole but not at the loss of someone else's wholeness.
Just rolling through some thoughts. It might all be *******..

Can I
Sarah Mew Nov 2015
Well lit are the hours
Spent dwelling within
Numb
Never shaking the confidence
Of your well positioned wave
It clings to the back of my mind
Slipping it's way around
Flooding my psyche for a moment

A tremble
Gasp

Surely it's only a matter of time
Before
You
Take from me
All I have to let go of
Push it into you

You will regret this
I'll make you feel this

Insomnia (a laugh)
Sarah Mew Nov 2015
Do you ever feel vulnerable when you're the only one awake

Lying in darkness thinking of what's at stake

All this preciousness surrounding you

Unconscious in need of your
protection

Do you rest with them
Or devote your hours to defend them.

— The End —
