Once thought so clear It seemed so straightforward If only I walked the path There would be no trouble, no pain. I’ve walked the path Pain and Trouble Abound Conflict raises its hand War is unavoidable to keep walking the same road.

Could You Believe?
Knocked Out Barely Standing Wheezing for the next breath Blacked Out. I wake up to a beautiful voice She says “Don’t be afraid, I care for you.” The trauma still hurts but the bleeding stops. I wake up again Another voice says “Your pain is real, I see your wound.” I have the strength toContinue reading “Could You Believe?”

Have you at least seen my might? Take a deep breath I tell you It’s okay. You’re okay. We’reContinue reading “A Deep Breath”
Lost Luster – Picking Up the Pieces
You’ve lost your luster It’s time to start new It’s time to start picking up the pieces Begin Rebuilding again Accepting now what is lost Looking ahead to what is to be created Envisioning new things Experiencing the New Life to come.
