A Father's prayer for his son
My son lies teetering On the edge of the abyss And tears rivulet. God, I beg you, please. End this suffering, I beg, I die as he breathes. I love him, dammit, But if he suffers for me, I'm a poor father. So decide. Heal him Or quiet his pain. Mercy, I beg of you, God. Was not once enough? I yield. Take my dreams,...

I Left No Trace, In Empty Space
Three days ago, I was buried on the ground as it seems! A cascade of issues as the days go by. The unrelenting sorrows and pain--- Weak, broken, desolation it brings! I seized the world with open hands, optimism, smile, love as much as could. Full of hope, peace and wisdom. Still joy would vanish out of sight. I left no trace in...

Premium Member Lost Son
Sintered from the dust of dying stars This vessel of mine was, By hands that reached down Through the veil above, And together with one generous breath Bestowed upon it This uncanny spark—this soul— That man so very hubristically Dared to name so. From the tenderest of age, I felt a magnetic pull— A silent tug upon my heart, And upon that uncanny spark— To cede way to...

Prayers Like Incense
My prayers rise before God like sweet incense. Before him all my facades fall away. I am left standing without a pretense And I am left with not a word to say. His glory once again fills his temple And all the things of this world become dim. Before his great holiness I tremble And all I can see are visions of...

Enjoy a sunset, eat a piece of pie. Take in life’s beauty and quit asking why. Take a long walk as often as you can. Talk with a loved one, walking hand...
