To Finally Find Your Way

Floating on an ocean breeze
Her voice caressed my mind
Words to quiver the fragile leaves
And taste the vintage wine

To shelter from the violent night
And rise above the pressure
To stand before the unveiled light
And glance into forever

Swirling through the mists of time
The sacral breath sustains you
Waiting for the hallowed sign
To nourish, guide and save you

A soul a spirit a Sufi
A dancer on the wind
A life at long last set free
To find the strength within

Sailing in the stormy skies
Waiting for the sun
To see the sacred in your eyes
A journey just begun

To find the peace within your heart
To start the brand new day
Then strip away the painful past
To finally find your way

A Splintered Soul, A Wounded Heart

A splintered soul
A wounded heart

So many years of abuse
But her heart still felt love

Drowning in pain
Filled with compassion
From unspeakable cruelty
Came incredible beauty

A strong beautiful woman
A vulnerable little girl
Assaulted by ugly words
Creating exquisite art

Rising out of darkness
Emerging into light

She came into my life
And changed me forever

I loved her

Not because of her beauty
Not because of her body
Not because of her looks

But because

She was the kindest,
Most compassionate, loving
Person I ever knew

Then

One day she was gone
Leaving me alone

With...

A splintered soul
A wounded heart

Desolation

Leaves turn brown
Falling on frozen ground

Skies turns grey
Darkening the lonely day

Storm clouds gather
Love runs for cover

Sun loses its light
Day turns to night

Thunder rumbles
Future crumbles

Summer
Turns to
Fall
Turns to
Winter

And the north wind blows

Walking alone in a crowd

Eyes don’t see
Ears don’t hear
Mouth won’t speak
Heart won’t beat

No words to say
No thoughts to think
No song to sing
No breath to take

No past
No present
No future

A memory
A loss
A tear

White
Fades to
Grey
Fades to
Black

Beginning
Becomes
Middle
Becomes
End

Hope
Turns to
Doubt
Turns to...

Desolation

Nothing More

Nothing more
Than words
Nothing more
Than lies
Nothing more
Than you want to hear
Nothing more
Than hollow eyes

Nothing more
Than hurt
Nothing more
Than pain
Nothing more
Than wasted time
Nothing more
Than wrong again

One day you wake and realize
No one really cares
They want you
When you have a use
Then leave you
Unawares

You’re born alone
You die alone
And somewhere in between
You do your best
It’s not enough
There’s
Nothing more
That you can give
And they want
Nothing less
