Peace in Pieces
I'm not sayin you don't have a right to feel the way you do, but have you considered every avenue, every stream that lines information directly to you? Have you considered perspective? That what appears to be truth could be, in actuality, subjective - effective truth hidden behind piercing offensive lies? Have you considered that life is like a puzzle, and every piece...

I Love You, You're Beautiful
I heard it so much I started to think it was true. Repeated it to me so often, That now it plays in my head. You said it so many times That it’s etched in my heart. You believed it so much, That now, I believe it too. ...

A Tale From A Stranger
He came with dust upon his coat, The sun behind him dying red, And in his voice the echo hung Of lands where ancient dreams lie dead. He spoke of seas with lilac skies, Of stars that sang above the foam, Of gardens lost beyond the years— And none of it was home. He told me tales of lovers pale Who wept beneath a...

Hey Dad!
Hey Dad! Hey Dad! Is that you knocking at the door outside? I'm excited to let you know how great was my first horse ride. Mom was waiting for you on the couch — another quiet night. Is your job so hard? Well, I hope everything's alright. Good night Dad. Hey Dad! Today's my 7th birthday! My friends were looking for you...

A Call For Humility
I don't think about Tr*** often I don't like to My guess is a third of you are at this time ticked triggered troubled torn turned off or tickled Avery few feel that tripled in spades And the rest have buckled up in a mingled mess of confusion curiosity or careless concern Take your pick Only the most humble learn their lessons anyway, and earn a table at the hearts of the yearning We're...

The Voice
They say "use your voice" But when I did, they turned away. They say, "just listen" But never asked what I'd say. They urged, "spread the word" But never considered what they were spreading....

The Art of Not Understanding Everything
Like moonlight on water, truth shimmers and bends, Each question I grasp at immediately ends In riddles more complex than those that came first— Some thirsts remain burning, though water is cursed. "If I drank, I'd die—if I didn't, I'd still die..." These dilemmas remain as the years shuffle by. I reach for you in crowded rooms, find only air, The stars...

Only read if you want more love and understanding in your life

(A lone voice whispers) Power of Air Power of Land Hear my souls Holy writs I pray for...

Premium Member Did You Know Her?
Isn't she a sight? Her inner nature has began to take flight. No person on Earth will ever hold a candle to the beauty of her inner wisdom. Years of lessons to sift through before she would see herself in that same view. She wanted to give up. She tried to tap out. God just kept telling her there was a purpose...

My Time Is Now
The starry night, Put me on a Trailblazer, Walking through a crowd, Without making a scene, Of all the people I have seen, Is there a place where I have been, To a corridor where I have been there since, I give myself a triumphant glimpse, Until the eclipse, Overshadowed by the blink, It is not what it seems, I did not play a game, For bringing...

For a Time
Each morning, we begin anew yesterday lingers, but it does not own you. Wounds heal, vision clears, dreams bend, but hope perseveres. We are here, but not to stay not to own, just to give away. So burn bright, rise tall, leave behind more than the weight of it all. ...

My Point of View
Onigiri is another level, I don't know a place called Seattle, I took a ladle, Put it on a table, I don't know where I'm going at, I took a sat, I see myself as a lad, I don't want to be sad, I took a notepad, From the wad, I stare at the ceiling, As if I'm on a sailing, I am not wailing, But I am...
