The truth ...

Some will smile before your face
Then dethrone you all over the place
Some will claim they have your back
But wave some "green" they leave the track

For you, the true ones, I love you
Despite the nonsense, you're always true
No amount of money or promise of fame
Can change your loyalty you are the same..

It is so hard to believe that others will
Become a "judas" for some thrill
But truth comes out again and again
That few remain once they  begin..

No cry goes unnoticed

Teardrops falling from your eyes
Creates a rumbling in the skies
Cruelty given never stays
Hidden beneath the passing days.

Heaven gathers to its Throne
Sighs and wimpers done alone
Angels carry upon their wings
All the hurts and all the stings

Though it seems to never end
And you feel you have no friend
There is One who always sees
The scars that form from words so mean

In an instant and in   time
Healing comes like dew sublime
Righting wrong with strokes of fate
Karma  comes to  all who hate

While we are healing our hurts

There is so much beauty and there is so much loveliness
and there is an array of so many good things
Yet, we have been so wounded and we have been so lied to
we have experienced so many painful stings...
How is it even possible to see through this brokenness
to see all those signs of hope that are everywhere
We have to be willing to and we have to be open to
trying a newness in a  new atmosphere.

Tomorrow is a new day and tomorrow is another chance
to embrace all those potentials just waiting to be
We don't have to be sorrowing inside all this awfulness
if we are willing to : we can become truly free:
Free from those hurting times free from those memories
free from those upsets others have carelessly caused
So let us be striving now and let us be letting go
we can be resuming all that  tragedy had paused..

Oh hear  all those silent ones and hear all those ancient ones
how they are applauding us in our every attempt
Yesterday is all over now and the future is still not here
thus we have only today to embrace and to apprehend
It won't be so easy and it won't  be so difficult
but it will be what we allow it to truly be
Healing  or sorrowing; laughing or crying out
we will be the decisions makers in all : indeed

Empty promises

The spirit has started crying out and the soul is in distress
Too many active moments have left the  heart  in emptiness
Slow down your fragile being  and be still within your mind
For silence wants to speak to you of mysteries you can find.

It is not a true necessity a must have on your list
To risk your inner happiness for some fabricated bliss
For everything that is tangible and created for a time
Can pass away so quickly and leave you searching for some rhyme.

There's nothing more invaluable more priceless than the soul
Yet too often we have gambled it for some hint of higher role
How quickly we discover that all the glow of  promising fame
Can only bring  a luster that is so degrading to our name.

Oh, the mystery of life

Oh, the mystery of life how much there is to know
All around us and in everything is One who helps us grow
From the least and most insignificant to the greatest of all minds
The thread of the Almighty is there to hold together mankind

So why is it that we pull apart and push each other down
When we have been so knit together like the fibers of a gown
It wasn't ever meant to be like this  warring and this hate
We have turned this masterpiece into a lifelong hateful debate

Each one of us are all a part of this one entire whole
Yet many of us are pulling apart the universe's inner soul:
Not knowing that our happiness depends on the happiness of all
We are all apart of this family every one of us:  great and small.

If one is sad know that the whole world is wounded.....

I can't breathe......

The air arrests my lungs and I find it hard to breathe
Today the oxygen level seems so much less I do believe
Something in its layering and something that's not there
Causes my heart to beat like its reacting with despair.

I need to quiet my being and allow my blood to flow
So that my energy levels won't become so terribly low
I breathe in all of the stillness and silence that I find
In order to nourish my spirit and tranquilize my  mind.

The movement of the hours into the  brand new day
Captivates my spirit in the most poetic way
I find myself emerging despite the thickening air
Into the resolution of seeing beauty everywhere.
