The truth dies immediately;
Lies live forever

.

Dear One, protect me from myself:
Shield these destructive thoughts;
Counteract these negative emotions;
Correct this improper behavior;
Extinguish this inner burning anger;
Melt away this ever present fear;
Release this incessant guilt;
Quiet this brash ego;
Soothe this aching heart;
And strengthen this weakness of
Spirit most of all

.

Some days not much inspiritation
seems to come.
But if we examine it more closely
the message may be that it is
perfect just the way it is.
Allowing things to be as they
are can be the blessing

.

Quiet noise defeaning the senses;
Heartbeating incessantly in time
with the thumping of the noise;
Uncontrolled vibrations
eminating from within
cascading throughout each cell.
Life begins

.

Barren trees silhouetted against a
gray cloudy sky;
cold air still and quiet;
afternoon just before dusk
the first snowflake appears
gently floating towards the earth.

Another one silently finds its way
to the ground then disappears.
And then more flakes dancing
among themselves gliding
gracefully downward.
Still more dive with
increased vigor;
the sky now full of floating
whiteness.

Silently the transformation
takes form;
whiteness appears everywhere
covering all under its blanket.

As darkness descends the
luminescence of the snow is
reflected from the street light,
creating an ethereal nighttime
reality.

Morning brings with it the coldness
and awe that only a snowstorm
can provide -
Winter has arrived

.

A time of falling leaves where
colors delight the senses and
crisp mornings and cool
evenings refresh the spirit.

Sunshine grows dimmer and
darkness becomes longer.
Busyness takes control and
schedules become dominant.
Activities abound with noise
and laughter.

Serious talks of things to come.
Someday it will have all come
and gone,
A distant memory lost amongst
the other memories.

A time of letting go and
a time of holding on,
until one day the wind blows
and the last leaf falls.

Change has come again,
for the last time

.

Trying is not failure;
Failure is not trying!

Do not judge yourself to
harshly;
Instead focus on the joy
of having the opportunity
to have tried

.

Peaceful chaos
Quiet sounds
Illuminated darkness
Happily sad
The hour has come

.

Caught Thoughts;
Reeling Feelings;
Senseless Senses;
Mindless Mind;
Heartless Heart;
Soulless Soul;

Pity me, for I am
a non-believer

.

Dancing to the heartbeat
of the great beyond,
colors seductively
engage each other
with abandon
as they ooze
towards a center point.
Witnessed only
by the One who
Sees and Knows

.

What matters most?
Heart truth.
What is it that is?
Spirit.
Where do I fit in?
Everywhere.
What do I know?
Everything.
Who am I?
I am all that is,
and all that is,
is ME

.

Nothing can prepare me for the coming dawn.
Not the sleep nor the darkness.
For as the dawn breaks,
So does the facade of knowing.

.
