In the dust of the heart, where whispers lie,  
Thy love burns eternal, beneath the sky.  

A lantern in the night, so softly bright,  
Guides the soul to truth, through endless night.  

Its flame unyielding, amidst shadow's sway,  
It calls the lost, to find their sacred way.  

In silent glow, the spirit comes to know,  
The name it seeks, in love's eternal flow.  

Through realms unknown, its light forever leads,  
A flame that burns where darkness softly bleeds.  

The heart awakened, by the flame’s pure light,  
Finds union with the infinite in sight.

The wind howls loud against the stone,  
A lighthouse keeper, standing alone.  
The storm rages wild, fierce, and strong,  
But in this quiet, I must belong.  

The book in my hands is my only friend,  
Pages worn thin, but I pretend  
That in its words, I’m not alone,  
That in its lines, I’ve found my home.  

Outside the waves crash and pound,  
The world is chaos, spinning around.  
But here I stand, amidst the gale,  
Holding fast, where others might fail.  

The light I guide cuts through the dark,  
A beacon of hope, a single spark.  
Yet, deep within, I long to flee,  
To find peace beyond this storm-swept sea.  

But duty calls, and I must stay,  
A keeper of light, come what may.  
The storm outside will pass, I know,  
But in my heart, the winds still blow.  

So I read, I wait, I fight alone,  
While the storm outside claims its throne.  
For the light I guard, though heavy the cost,  
I’ll stand alone, no matter the loss.

I haven't seen her in years
My shining star
My guiding light
My happiness
My remise
My angel
She saved my life
I have nothing more to say...

Autumn falling leaves
Dull winter merely blows in
Brighter sun beckons

Twenty two years
and some odd months
a baby born here
out of lust

Now wanders the land
in search of
those needing a hand,
those in need of love

If you understand
where I come from,
help me carryout the prophecy
that was planned
**only
love
will
overcome
Feeling near death does not help the need of my work.
bleh.
