Understanding the Heart: The Weather of Emotions
Emotions move like weather through the heart, each passing, each teaching us to listen, to feel, and to stay gently open to ourselves. Understanding the Heart: The Weather of Emotions Reblog: I love the flow of this poem. Beautifully written!
Thirst For Green
Look at us,The thirst for green is disgusting.We exploit the lands which aren’t ours,We bury the children with so much potential in their eyes,So that we can make a buck or buy a cheaper HDTV.Why should a capitalist care?If a Brazilian child is dying in their mother’s fragile arms,It’s one less mouth for the worldContinue reading “Thirst For Green”
Prison
Prison We are all locked upin nine-to-five,sometimes eight-to-eight,or more. Sleep, then rush backwhile the world is still dark—afraid, because if we don’t,we starve. There is no escape.Our hands are tiedby an invisible force—or fate. The beach can wait.The mountains stay still.Time moveslike wind,like grass on boulders,like rivers under city bridges,like birds—like a man at aContinue reading “Prison”

❄️ Snow ❄️
Big snow flakes fall from the sky.Covering the ground in a white disguise. The world that once was disappears. Blanketed by the whiteness I endear. Everything becomes quiet, dampened by the snow.Highlighting everything with a magnificent glow. Silent so heavy it can be felt. Oh how it saddens my heart to see it melt. ItContinue reading “❄️ Snow ❄️”
Christianity
The term Christian is used often today. The term I am almost hesitant to say. Most that wear the title but lack a depth that is a vital key that this flesh body desperately needs. The claim to know The Father, yet don’t know His sacred name. Oh what a shame! Some stand at aContinue reading “Christianity”
An ordinary Friend
In a tiny world where shadows tend to play,You shine as always in your ordinary way,A gentle heart that knows my grief and fears,A friend who stays through laughter and tears.You felt my absence as a friend and sensed my soul,In every kind and generous word, you made me whole.A down-to-earth being with a heartContinue reading “An ordinary Friend”
echoes of harsh laughter
finished a novel only to fall into the next constantly scribbling as i feel my time is running out and no one else can see all of the hidden patterns which whisper incessantly in the too loud silence harnessing all the loneliness to sharpen the monomolecular edge of the quill slicing down to the blackenedContinue reading “echoes of harsh laughter”
