I Love

Between divine Love

and self hate

I love

Between perfect smiles

and tear dampened pillows

I love

Between scattered thoughts

and the Truth

I love

and while I love

I collect memories

and create dreams unending

Between my collection

and my empty hands

I love

Adrift

Atop calm waters
With clouds above, life below
Unconscious, I float

Erosion

waves passing over and around
some turbulent some calm
chipping away
until all that is left
is you

Patience

End the in sense make all will it.

Empty Cup

You cannot fail at an undefined goal
So do not define love, happiness, sadness or regret
See your future as a mental mute
As nothing, as unfolding in front of you

Pray to know what it means to be a woman before you die
Pray to know what it means to be a man before you die
Pray to know yourself and in turn to know God
And do whatever you need to do to gain the time and experience you need to learn

Eat, work, go to school pay the bills, excel at your talents
All so you can keep learning in this maze of a world with all its lessons and clues
All so you can hope to one day be able to define

Collection

And they come and go
replacing those gone before
good and bad alike

Night Travels

A new night had begun, a darker night than I was used to. Dimmer stars to act as guides. Was I the only one in this darkness? But I traveled as I do, as the world continued to turn under my feet, and hoped that each footstep aligned with the last. My legs were tiered but there was no hope in sitting down. I breathed a steady breath and walked in silence. A bright star appeared in the direction I was heading, perhaps the thick of the clouds had diminished. I still could not see the Moon, but I was certain He was still there. One step at a time I walked and walked. The star flickered, then danced about. Puzzled I slowed my pace, the earth continued, till the star danced out of the sky, around my head and body, stopping to hover by my feet. I had only a chance to see the prints of my feet all about in the sand when the star went out and buzzed away, the earth continued.
