One way
The only way
In all that I do
In all that there is
Proper and correct
Efficient means abundance
or so the narrow thought...

My Pride
My Will
My Way
Or No way at all
Blind to covetousness
Elavate certainties
Clearly the only path

Forging forward
The world steps back
Dogged Determination
Blind to broken path
So certain of alignment
Yet the path could not be more crooked

All is fleeting
All is hurt
Selfish ways and hurtful words
The fall is here and now I see
I never put what's first but me

Is tenderness gone?
Compassion I deserve not?
I seek these gifts of virtue
For me from those have nought

Gifts so many squandered
albeit a temporary time
If hope exist and faith persists
perhaps we change the mind

So now what's next?
Quite simple seeing eyes
Get out of your way
Let go let Grace
Take the wheel and drive

Give up control
Embrace the change
Thy new path ever fertile

These different fruits
Mature and ready
For the mind that's still...
Letting it all out in some way to feel through an uncertain future.
Sara Brummer Jan 2019
Pale shadows of early spring –
a sense of unfolding into fragile hours,
not ours to keep.
White winter days of danger past
and still, that on-going uncertainty.
A word in every drop of crystal breath,
Caught and held a nano-second
and hope running back to a beginning
never found.
A glossy serpent bites its tail
in an endless game repeating itself.
This circle, this oval orb
Empty yet containing all.

Fear
Is a terrible reason
To
Or
Not To
Believe

In Something

In Someone

In a God

In Others

In Yourself

Fear is a grandeur adversary to many

But Courage

To Go On and Stand
In the face of Fear

Is the grandest Ally

So many fail to choose
A simple note to others and more so to myself.

OH
Oh to swim in waters of a belief.
To feel its spiraling waves embrace they being.

Oh to glide in the dogma of miracles.
To feel heart open to receive a multitude of gifts.

Oh to dance in the tenet that allows breath to align
with heart beats music.

Oh Yes Oh to rondevu with core axiom
And radiate self who is sacred and eternal.

I guess you told me about the stars in my eyes
But I could never believe you
Because when I tried to see the moon
I could only see foggy rain

I guess you told me about the life in my eyes
But I could never believe you
Because when I tried to feel alive
I could only find this feeling of emptiness inside of me

I guess you told me about the hope in my eyes
But I could never believe you
Because when I tried to not give up
I could only lay on the ground for days

I guess you told me my eyes made you believe in love
When everything else couldn’t
Because I give it all to you
But have nothing left for myself

They say all good things come to an end.
I believe it.
Like, how every time you come to the end of a book, but you don’t want it to end,
But you also don’t want to stop reading it.
Like how beautiful, warm mornings end in cold, dark nights you’re scared of,
But you can’t change the way of nature.
The invincible, blazing flames, burning anyone that’s too close,
Also eventually turns to dust.
Or even the part of a song that, you so want to jam to, comes on just as you’re about to park into the garage,
And you have to bring it to an abrupt stop.
The fun weekends, which you’ve waited for the whole week, ends in just a blink of the eyes,
And you’re still counting the things you didn’t get to do this time too.
Even, how you always whine about your ice-cream playing tricks on you,
Because every time you eat a spoonful, it vanishes in thin air.
Like how your first kiss, young, innocent and pure, made your heart go thump-thump against your chest,
That even I could hear.
Or your steady breathing on my neck as you lie close to me, and gentle mumbling against my skin,
But, you will eventually wake up and it’ll end.
Even the sweet morning kisses all over me, that I love so much, have to stop.
Like how this ****** beautiful 'us' have to.
The you, the me, the us.
The quarrels, the promises, the love.
But, they say all good things come to end.
I believe it. Still.
So. we have to, too.
Because all ends have new beginnings, and not all beginnings are bad, right?
Right?
I wish you find your bad, and I mine, so that it wouldn’t end this way.
So now, before you say goodbye, I want you to let go.
Because sometimes, somethings come to an end,
And it’s okay.

The sky looks marvelously serene
Like a bejeweled birthday gift
Laced with bright ribbons
Of a sparkling sunlit peace
Perhaps it's an evidence of
Our invisible yet invincible
strength and synergy
To continue living or existing
In a clear direction which
Renders us worthy of
A gracious life as well as
Shelters our faith in ourselves
Even when the vicious wintry haze
Makes us shiver and quiver
With ceaseless doubts and mysteries
Let us all bask in the pleasing warmth
Of this heavenly gift
Let's celebrate together
Our mindful victory against
Our very own weaknesses
Today
Merry Christmas to all

Do we let culture, tradition decide our fate?
Whom we love; whom we fear.

The belief from misunderstandings,
devotion to the lack of education—
steer the wheel.

Is your influence thought through?
Is it within reason; is it justified?

We fear what we do not comprehend.
It is decided, but not by us—
others steer the wheel.

The master of the home, of your kingdom, come.
Is, will and will always remain to be: You.
