"I followed Him.
I heard His voice,
So quiet, and kind,
My fate is bound, to seek and find,
the Love, I sought, comes from above,
he filled my cup, to brim with love.
The truth that day, I lost the earth,
flesh decays to dust, for spirits'birth.
Lines grimly etched, in horror stay,
the final act about to play.
That crystal light, not visible to worldly men,
they reel in fright, aghast at skin,
like the portrait of Dorian Gray,
their luciferic light, shines bold as day,
starlight descending to infra red decay.
I pick up my cross with heaviest heart,
can't find forgiveness, though that's my part.
Knowing this truth, I soldier on,
karmic bound, to forgive their wrongs.
His message, I repeat, is love turned tough,
change your ways, enough is enough.
My star I found, is freedoms dove,
not our words, our actions, reveal true love."

In between ubiquitous pain
and shallow laughter---
---through my meandering rivers
I think of you

My proclivity for sadness
is my signature
And I’m sitting here
still staring at your pictures

When I said “it’s okay”
you knew it wasn’t fine
and losing a friend is losing a sacred poem
that once was lovingly mine


-c.s.

The sand shifts beneath your feet,
Your heart relaxes to a quiet beat,
The waters seem to breathe day and night,
Close your eyes take it in do not fight,
The wind satisfies your soul,
Just relax now you've played your role,
Touch the sand now scoop it up,
Hold it in your hands and form a cup,
Now let it seep through towards the sandy ground,
Your soul was lost but now its found,
The weather you desire will come your way,
Just stand closer to the bay,
Soon life will be eternal for you and me,
Look beyond the ocean and tell me what you see.

A bigot.
That lost in time mind.
Concentrating on pigmentation than the true perspective.

A bigot.
Just doesn't see the picture too clear.

A car note.
It takes money to pay.
But a bigot stupid doesn't see this.
They see being racist as the honor.
Not the money required to pay that note.

Rent.
Paid with money.
A requirement to keep a roof over your head.
A racist doesn't see truth.
They strictly see color.

A child's education.
It takes cash .
But a racist see hate.
AQnd this is their biggest mistake.

Cause we all have the same color of blood.

And the poor shall inherit the earth.
And why not?
They are more caring and more concerned than the wealthy.

Just look within society and see the love.
And it more likely coming from the poor.

Not that the wealthy don't care.
Some truly do and with love.

But when you look deep within the society of life?
The poor just reaches out unselfishly.

Being poor might not be a bad thing.
Besides wealthy folks have too many headaches.
