With whispered farewells breathed from the fiery lips of The Western Sun, She slips to that dark resting place beyond horizon’s edge as yet another grain falls forever through the glass of time- leaving me spellbound,,, held in trance of passing moment’s beauty and ever mindful of price paid to bear witness of such- for I live not under deception my days are without number.
I cast my thoughts in direction of task yet unfulfilled- living in hope the morrow shall bring more favorable end to such as I take pause to smile in moment of such self indulgence. Still,,,with intent to hurry on my way I find my spirit delightfully brightened by the waking hellos of evening stars and moonlit paths which lead to home.
Peace reigns in it’s moment of glory - suffering no loss in the memories of a well finished day- bringing thoughts of rest, the warm haven of home and glimmer of hope eternal.
rattling, howling wind
waves crashing against life rocks
Lighthouse standing strong
silent hope glimmers
lights twinkling in the distance
destiny is yours
The days of bleeding light are disgusting
Endless vacations around the sun
Just to put me in the emptiness and the vortex
To let the reflected light and fog penetrate
The roots of suffocating time
So that we may be granted a new beginning.
I'm trying to find a way to break free
I'm a free-flying bird in correlations
drifting off into the horizon
wishing for the sky, but having far more.
Then sped up and pulled me behind
From the inside out, I can sense my wings
The beating of the heart was quieted
Singing with my arms wide open.

A glimmer of hope is all you need
Now give it your best in thought and deed
Don't wait around for a hole a mile wide
'Midst such a hole lies a mudslide
Wasn't it almost time you picked up the spike?
And what about the wheat of wishes that we all eat?
My land finally gets to celebrate!
Marvelous tenderness blooming?
I noticed stab sites.
My bereavement was shattered.
Tidal surge of loss
Tomorrow's gaping abyss
Left a hope glimmer hanging
Conception kept secret from all was her will
Piteous youth just unlucky caught imbecile
On the dismal threshold of despair and heartaches
Bloodstained rugrat born into poverty and shame till
Suckling infant in her arms maternal love suddenly awakes

When sometimes it seems like everything is going wrong
And you are constantly facing a brick wall
Not knowing where to turn to next
You wonder is it really worth it at all?
But then one little thing changes
And you can see a glimmer of hope
Suddenly it all seems worthwhile
And with anything you can now cope
It's always easier said than done
Especially when you're feeling blue
When one door closes another opens
Throughout my life I believe it's been true

Gained the power
to recollect
those
called my desires
My life full of hopes
that I have caught
into my mighty fist
A very dareful job!
I tried to gain access
with the full might
but oh! No..I lost
my control
I repent
I have lost all the way
But, I am courageous
Not afraid to take risks
The green life
before me
Is breathtaking
just need someone to show
My problems,
just vanished before it
within those rainbowed
skies
I thought
being a star
I might get
up too high above there
I will never get it
Naah! Never
just going to give
an another try
Sitting here,
on the edge of life
I thanked Him, his next
move; determine my destiny
He stood
With head bowed
Aimlessly, his mind wandered
Within a crowd
He stood
Voices urged movement
From every direction
Came pleas and curses
He stood
Answering cries of pain
Brought more despair
Powerless
He stood
When out of the confusion
A great voice
Full of ageless wisdom
Called to him finally
A glimmer of hope
And with renewed strength
He stood
