erasing bad memories
some survivors attempt to annihilate their tragic past
squelching their worst memories
slaying glimpses of hurt as fiercely as they can
eradicating smells and sights that remind them of their abuse
others cannot recall their childhoods at all
having successfully erased it from their memories
so they can tolerate their life

Erasing Hatred
Erasing Hatred
Miracle Man
8/15/2024
We cannot begin to legislate
a person’s heart to change.
Though through our law’s
we may attempt to rearrange.
Because hatred has existed
since the early days of Cain.
Changing a person’s heart
continues to be God’s domain.

The Road To Erasing Negatives
Lust, greed, anger, envy, prejudice,
Malice, fear – all negatives we possess,
Traits we must conquer to be our best,
But how do we start? What's the first step?
Is it to meditate or to reflect?
To journal our thoughts and introspect?
Is it to seek therapy or to connect,
With loved ones, to learn to accept?
The journey's not easy, that we

Erasing All Doubt
‘Tis the soul that breathes compassion
In each reflection there is joy
Silencing the doubt in the night
Warming the thoughts with tender hope
Whispers of light kiss the spirit
‘Tis the soul that breathes compassion
Stirring laughter, gentle friendship
Grace dances on pleasures so deep
Humble hues, beautiful moments
Rise from the secrets of His love
‘Tis the soul that breathes compassion
We know the

Erasing Fear
Inner conflict manifests fear
Yet we still trauma bond with thought
In web of our making thus caught
How can our anguish disappear
No sooner we meld head with heart
Aligned with the love vibration
Each life breath, a celebration
Behold, demons of mind depart

Erasing the Dark
As you celebrate your birthday,
The beacon has just kissed the sky;
Erasing the dark, blue, and gray,
Letting the white birds sing up high.

Erasing Her
Her memory is a breath of laughter
Caressing the night in layers of starlight
Dreams rising on the greenest pastures
Where sun and moon glimmer, winking
While gently comforting, shining
O’er a reflection of yesterday
When she knew life – before old age
Her memory erases the many years
Of silence where her photo delights
In grinning from edges of a

Letter Writing Erasing Words-
I read the words on paper of lead
You came with a rubber eraser and you entered erase
Those the words that were in my head
You stealed my hand from writing still

Erasing Darkness
The heaven’s softly dawning light
Conflicts with the darkness of night
Reassuring the heart of God’s grace
Despite the melancholy of dusk’s face
Like a comfort, morning comes around
Destroying gloom of night that does abound
Painting the skies in azure whispers of hope
Leaving behind all the shades that do mope
Gentle and soothing, sunup shines on us
Letting go of the blackness
