A Doorway in Disguise
Closure is peace
Sadness is sometimes the doorway
through which happiness enters,
wearing a disguise.
When you release the rope of fear
you’ve been gripping so tightly
afraid you’ll sink once you let go
you discover instead
the taste of joy.
A full vase cannot receive more.
To welcome God’s blessings,
you must first make room.
Empty the vessel of fear,
of doubt, of helplessness,
and trust His power
to refill it
with abundance.
Fear numbs the senses.
It dulls our ability
to receive light,
to recognize gifts.
Never doubt yourself.
It is okay to slow down.
It is okay to lose your way.
It is okay if the journey
takes longer than expected.
It is okay to fall,
to get hurt.
It’s okay to start all over again
This, too, is part of the process.
It was meant to happen.
Now rise
and become the maestro
of your own orchestra,
and dance
to your own pace,
your own rhythm.
I lied,,,,,I felt it from the door,
Too scared to admit I loved you more,
You ask when did I start feeling? I said suddenly,
That wasn't a lie, but I never said from the beginning,
Cautious of my own feelings, I've been tricked before,
So I tested the waters of my heart to see more,
The search ruined the love later with time,
It took away from what I felt, and changed my sight,
Surprisingly, my love for you never faded away,
In the end, the search was useless and just caused more pain,
What have I learned from this awful experience?,
It's not smart to doubt your heart, don't question it as interference,
Keep loving, and then loving some more,
Stop trying to control what love has in store,
Be honest with yourself and let it ride,
No one ever said you wouldn't get hurt this time,
And if you do, it was meant to happen,
Because you took the control out of the experience, and let love work it's magic,
When your learning to ride a bike, your palms are sweaty with a tight grip,
But once you understand the ride, the love oliminates this,
You loosen your grip, and allow love to be,
You won't regret the experience because you trusted to see.
Loss a terrible tragedy yet alive through memories
All though our days are numbered but the best thing is to accept
Be strong by embracing the time we spend with each other
Love, laughter and happiness they brought, faith and courage
It may seem so soon but it was meant to happen
Loss you bring tears, pain, sorrows and emotions
Yet happiness by memories
Although is not easy to forget
But you ensure that we heal through time
Oh loss sometimes we hate you
But at the end of the day you ensure that we move on
Bit by bit as you were meant to happen
Loss you come in many ways
But you make it hard by taking us, our loved ones early
Yet you have to due to nature and your time
Loss how I wish you can warn us
So we can be prepared yet you are unpredictable
Loss only if you can give us more time to cherish the time and moments
Although life goes on but our spirit, hearts are torn by you
Oh loss you are painful yet you put a smile on our face by remembering
We move on by carrying the spirit and special times we spend with them
Loss, loss
Once upon a time there was a girl,
who loved a guy with all her heart and soul .
For her, he meant the world,
For him, she meant just someone, of whom he was the world.
She would wait for his call and messages all day long,
while he was busy texting other girls,
and had always some excuse, to cover his fault.
She tried her best to make this long distance relationship work,
He always had a side plan to use this as an excuse.
She felt being ignored,
But he always lured her with his talks.
She decided to let things go,
But he never let that happen - she was meant to be a side option.
Finally she decided it was enough,
closing the eyes won't change the truth,
Maybe it was meant to happen,
and its high time that she realizes, it was nothing more than a bluff !
She took charge and control,
being a dumb girl was past,
Now she's a changed girl with a strong heart and soul.
For all those looser's who treat their girl badly and make her cry,
You don't deserve her, or any other girl
But just someone who'll make him cry and hurt the very same way !
Stay Faithful or Stay Single !
The Crystal Cathedral
A mile underground it rested
A cavern as large as a football field as high as a house
Hot as hell and as wet as the largest ocean it existed
Thriving in a world that would kill life
It grew and changed slower than a human can watch
Minute crystals grown into pillars hundreds of feet long
New crystals grew from the bodies of those who fell from their perch
Unknown and unseen for a half a billion years it waited
Opened by accident by ignorant men who changed you
It was not their fault
It was meant to happen
Today’s world would not allow this cathedral to stay alone
Samples were taken and sold to tourists
Artificial light replaced the darkness of its home
Air conditioning lowered the heat and moisture of the air
Your world was destroyed
More and more crystals fall and cover the cavern floor
Eventually the church of crystal will again seal away from the world
It will again grow and thrive at least for another half million years
Or until another ignorant man has an accident
And it will die another slow death at the hand of man
Eve my dear, God's word to us you did not heed.
You ate of the tree then gave fruit to me we did not need.
I can't blame you my dear for it was really my fault.
I didn't have the balls to tell you no, so thus the serpents assault!
I ate the fruit too and my eyes were opened to view,
Things that I'd rather not had to deal with in this life so new.
The garden was so beautiful and we had to leave.
Now here we sit beside this fire with our memories and grieve.
I'll have to work by the sweat of my brow now,
And till the soil so we can grow food as God would allow.
And you'll bare children in very much pain.
And we'll learn to build houses to keep out of the rain!
After thought:
Is there an "If only?" I couldn't tell you.
In God's great infinite plan the grand over all view.
I believe it was meant to happen like it did.
But being a man I still want to blame Eve and in this I DO NOT KID!!!!!!!!!
Dedicated to my wife Linda....my EVE!!!
