Unforgotten Child
I embrace you only in my heart
As my hands are empty
To love you.
I wish for you only in my dreams
As my soul is poured out
To give to you.
There you were
For this single moment
That will […]
Where is the past
that it shall not become the future?
To set oneself upon another path
requires the consideration of Heaven and Hell
What do we do alone
that those we cannot see
are not witness to?
As time itself is […]
What if I shared with you
those memories that return always
the ones that make up my life
with perminant presence
forever teaching me
a light to remind me
bringing rain and cloud to my eyes
bringing laughter and loss to my […]
The desert remembers our travail
while the sky records our intent
it is the wind we do speak
’til heard upon high
What shall we do with the pride of the young
when they stand without weapon
or shield
defying the arrows […]
In a time of untruth
there is nothing to speak
nothing to hear
In a time of darkness
there is nothing to see
nothing to build
In a time of corruption
there is nothing to balance
nothing to believe
I say what has been […]
In sorrow do I plead as the distance
laid by the shores of unforgettable memory
The whisper is heard
Was it for another ear?
Why do we walk the narrow path
Between the land and the oceans?
Stepping into the one
retreating […]
I don’t feel like posting one of my insane rambling rants tonight.
Oh i do have them still…
and could write one out right now
with all the thoughts in my head
But I am starting […]
I have never been taught
the reality of purpose
nor have I been witness
to the reality of truth
by the works of mankind
For each generation
is exactly the same as before
Where all living things

(Taken from the radiance of the Flower of Life)
Even the Messengers of life – need life
Even the formless powers of Angels – need life
Even the Flame is from another Flame
Even the darkness […]
May I speak from experience
for those who speak not?
Emotional Torment
Throw your lash
Upon my back
Into my bones
Dividing skin from skin
What is it you would have me say?
Am I to speak in […]
Who can say what they saw
Or write what they heard
Or teach what they discovered
Or fix what is broken
Or break what cannot be fixed
In order to know it?
For it is that […]
You see it in the eyes of the wanderer
In the gaze of the soldier
In the stance of the homeless
In the cries of the insane
And in the mystical abyss
Of the […]
We cannot put away the beast
Unless the beast is first set free
Those who war and those who rage
Are those afraid to see what lies
Beneath the glare in their eyes
Rules give way to […]
I shall not succumb to the lesson of your disgrace
nor shall my flesh worship you any longer
nor shall my heart be within your grasp
nor shall my mind be open to you
nor […]
