Love or hate
How Long a wait will my weak feet endure? For many years On your snub I still wail. Yet Veils of lies don’t cover your allure; Your Elegance I still cannot but hail. Your words Often fail to convey passion, Your heart Remains closed off to compassion, Since you Heave out too little in response, Within the Arcade of hatred you ensconce. With...

Premium Member LOCE COMPASSION AND KINDNESS
May we be blessed when we look around the world when we see people filled with hatred for one another people being inhumane…and as as thoughtless as can be… To do our best to show people love compassion and kindness to offset others’ cruelty. ...

Premium Member Devoid of Compassion
“When yesterdays become devoid of compassion” I would wake up with blurred vision Unable to fulfill a noble mission Around apathy, marked by pride’s oppression… When such happens midst love’s absence I would lament with guilt in chaotic silence Having allowed myself to rule along selfish license In the guise of caring attitude’s prevalence… When that scenario lingers of no charity...

Premium Member When yesterdays become devoid of compassion
"When yesterdays became devoid of compassion", you became the reflection in my mirror— the darkness that cast its shadows upon my walls, the screams that woke me in the dead of night. Reaching out, silhouettes dissipated into thin air. When the clock approached the witching hour. Nothing but my demons were there to keep me company. Forked tongues whispered insecurities, poison-dipped lies into...

Premium Member 'Blowing in the Wind' of Times
Inspired by Bob Dylan's Blowing in the Wind Our journey takes on different roads we make our choices and our beds no rest for the weary till we're all dead Time is not our faithful ally its intentions waywardly dubious yet fate lays here in our hands Don't pretend you can't hear the many cries they're right outside your door blow the whisle sound...

Yesterday void of compassion
When yesterdays become devoid of compassion Past once filled with kindness Became stripped of those gentle hues. You look back,see what was care What felt like love now appears tainted by ego The smile you cherished now feels hollow. ...

Unintended Innuendo
“as we passed her she did wilt which caused in us sense of guilt since our stance perhaps did cause to put her heart’s joy on pause though we’re gentle, not hostile we diminished her soul’s smile since our aura as she viewed scent of love did not exude” We did not mean to bring a winter wind into her garden, nor did we...

Sculpted by silence
My days were filled with limp lifts of your hands, each a tear steeped in lost compassion. You made me swim in a cold, clammy sea of sorrow~ and shaped me into a voiceless, motionless s c u l p t u r e. My cries were your joy~ your face and the devil’s wore identical masks. Your...

Lao Tzu: English Translations IV
LAO TZU ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS IV The Roots of Turbulence by Lao Tzu, translation by Michael R. Burch Heaviness lies at the root of lightness; stillness begets turbulence. Thus the nobleman heads his caravan keeping a constant eye on his possession-laden wagons. At night he sleeps secure behind high-walled towers, undaunted and untroubled. But how can the ruler of ten thousand chariots discard the people so...

Premium Member Cancer
Cancer is only for others, Walking its own quiet road: The smoker’s sigh, The alcoholic’s plight, The old tree, The young, the budding seed— Babies, life’s fragile heartbeat… Medical advancements—progress marching, Cures, new hopes discovered With each sunrise. Everyone wants to know. Everyone needs the truth. The truth is sad. Cancer, a path we think not our own… Is cancer only for others? ...

Premium Member Heartbreak's Redemption
In the garden, penumbra deep, A heart so heavy, it could not sleep. Betrayed by those He came to save, A love so pure, it could not cave. Upon the cross, His arms spread wide, In our place, crucified. The nails of heartbreak held Him there, A burden of sorrow, too great for us to bear. For every tear, for every sin, He bore...
