Birth Of Tears

Tears, the wonder of all creation;
formed in the Aura’s womb;
healing: the tears’ obligation;
their blossoms coming in bloom.

Toxicity of all poisonous thought;
washed out with the wave of tears;
designed to do; what tears ought;
washing away reality’s fears.

Sadness and sorrow caused their birth;

Lifetime Debtor

I looked all around and considered;
all of the things money can bring;
the furniture that had been delivered;
but money can’t buy everything.

Once I had bought it; I owned it;
that much was apparent to me;
its not as though I’ve condoned it;
but nothing in

Let Me Be Led

There is that road less traveled;
with weeds and thistle overhead;
where that growth is unraveled;
Oh Lord; please let me be led.

I cannot tell where it’s leading;

and reality’s pendulum swings.

We think we can stem reality’s flow;
can change it’s directions, too.
Waves flow; then there’s no place to go;
they have to return to

Scars

My surgery left an ugly souvenier;
at least that’s what I thought;
but, instead it was a message; unclear;
of a lesson my soul has been taught.

We must escape this illusion we hold;
even though we know it will die;
to solve the mystery we must be bold;

The Assignment

I’m in this world on assignment;
I’m a part of the Master’s plan;
I often feel I’m in confinement;
and that’s how my life began.
