A child held up a sign stating they needed a home.
Instantingly folks worked assit that child.

A homeless soul held up a sign stating they were hungry.
Instantly, someone worked on ways to feel that soul.
The many ways love grows.

A lonely older person asked for the truth.
Instantly, someone with familarity of the scriptures read the word to them.
God wants his children's closed to him.
They read the Be-atitudes softly with sincerity.
The many ways love grows.

A millionaire suddenly lost everything important to them.
Instantly, a friend spoked and reminded them.
Before you was rich.
You were richer in heart.
That truth and recognition is about your heart.
Instantly, they beginned to see all kinds of possibilities.
Yes, the many ways love grows.
When you find wisdom.

lingering singles mingle
and mope

drinking links to hopeful
smiles
projecting mute desire
over sugar salted glass rims

as feet tap out the panic driven rythym of hormonal
need

whilst in the small room
lodged in the corner
of the eye

the single bed, beckons
with obscene familarity...

one more drink....
for the long walk home.

Far awayyy....................

Far away from the home of thoughts....
Far away from the sights of familarity /amity....
Far away from the bucket of memories...
Far away from the highways of emptiness...

I still believe, therezz someone waiting,
ready to hear my fairy tales............

Eyes still sparkling, wondering at the sky...
Nights still flowing, sleepless everytime...
Days still passing, with hopes in mind...
Empty face still smiling, embracing the warmth with time...
Ears still listening, to the laughters with giggling...
Lips still whispering, asking reasons for the fate to be unkind...

But my heart says.....

I may not see you to miss you,  when I know you are there...
I may not hold you to feel you, when I know you always care...
I may see into your eyes to believe you, when I know you understand...
I may not hear your voice to ask you, when I know you have every answer...

I just have an unseen feeling,
hard though soft,
difficult though simple,
impossible though possible,
to love to have you here to hold...

As the sun goes down, when the stars come out...
As the new flowers bloom, when spring fades out...
As the rivers travel long, when sea is reached out...

Thats truly when dreams comes true, when someone dares out.....

Far away , far away , far away....
its never forever gonna be...
for fate has to smile,
after all it also feels bad,
for troubling such innocent lads.....

I think found is
a state of seeing the
grass around me
staring at the sky
at the birds flying above me
being a teacher
and watching the children's
eyes light up when they see me
to feel that I am making the world a little
bit better
than I found it
to add some more light into a place of darkness
to start to accept myself love myself more
to start to like looking in the mirror sometimes
to start to realize that I was never the problem
I always sought out situations with people
who were very low class
in the way they viewed the world
in the crass horrific way they treated people
and in the drugs they used
maybe the problem was never me
all along
maybe I was a gem
hidden for so long
a diamond in the rough
maybe I am better than I imagined
viewing my life
as if a passerby
someone else stares back at me
with those soulful eyes
as I chatter back in Hebrew
a language  almost as old as time itself
I feel a familarity
in the air
maybe its a sense of coming home
coming home
to the child inside of me
who tells me that she now feels happy
sometimes
who tells me how sad but releaved she feels
how I remember more and more
I feel even more determined
to protect these babes
in the ways that I never was
to tell them that they are beautiful
smart and kind
as if I am telling that to myself
because I am
a cold heart
can melt away
and turn into a feeling one
it just takes time
as she takes a deep breath
and sighs and says
hmm yes healing takes time
and sometimes many many breakdowns
and healing many fears to get there
for the only way out is through.
Maybe the darkness
doesn't need to last forever
when we learn to heal our own darkness
and to learn to listen to ourselves
so deeply and so purely
to believe that we are so worthy
and than we are shown
that we are
and always were so worthy
for I was always trying to find me
and maybe the me
was always there all along
for we are always love deep down
for when you see children
they are love
and when we see animals and  nature
they are love
they are what gives me love
happieness and joy
I believe if we all learn how
to return to that state
the world will be more of a utopia
so for now all I have is myself
and the beating fire of my heart
that I am so happy
that I am still alive
still standing in my body
and with my eyes
that have seen so so much
in this life
for I feel so so old
ancient almost
but still ever ever so young
and filled with more hope
than I have in a very very long time
for it feels as if my heart is starting to beat
slowly once again.
