70 degrees

An oasis spring
in the midst of Summer
a cool breeze, singing birds
the smell of freshly baked bread
fills my world
Magritte's clouds outside
in the perfect sky
Clair de Lune
plays softly in my mind
A beautiful child
make-believes
in morning sun
Spring has …

peace

The darkness is parting
hope is growing
there is a light
hopeful and freeing
that begins to draw
me forward
to a place of peace
like the certain and
resolute calm
after the storm
no excuses
no explanation
no more fear
just peace beyond
understanding

Through the fire

Can beauty be known
without the ugly

Can a life know true joy
without pain

Does a heart understand peace
without facing fear

The darkness must come
so we can experience the light

Terror must grip us so we can
recognize true peace

To endure no …

Fear

Fear not
what other people think
Fear not
what man can do
Fear not
the voices in your head
They may not come from you
Fear not the day
Fear not the night
Nor time that passes on
Fear only
wasting time on things
That will not carry on

free from my mind

I am lost
in this circle
of monotony

I am trapped
by my own
lack of interest

how long
can one exist
in dichotomy

who is true
what is real
can I trust how I feel

can I set
myself free
from my mind
