CLOSE YOUR EYES SOMETIME

Not made of flesh or bone
Beyond sight right before the many eyes
Wading an invisible terrain of unearthly dimensions
Trying to figure out the right path in the world and beyond
Holding your hands hands and forging forward
No turning back even if you wished to
The best bet is taking a new direction on the invisible's wise counsel
Bearing the weight of consequences
Good and otherwise
Finding ingenious ways to shield you from bullets, arrows and spears
Planning for tomorrow for the expected and unexpected
Whether it is too tired it has to get up and go on
Even when its owner is locked down
The invisible guardian gets out to the stormy weather, rocky terrain, thorny field and often lash grass
Consistently going through the hustle to get to the greener pastures sometimes also hurts
The wounds if not cleaned become many and they fester
So, remember, the invisible guardian has to take time to heal
Before an illness rolls a six
And bingo!!!!
The center gives way and you have to start again
Or completely loose the power to pick the pieces and start from the beginning

WHEN WORDS WOULDN'T SPEAK

When words have nothing to say But the heart is full What would speak for you? What would speak to you? When the quiet of a heart And the sound of a meldy Would resonate with your truth That words could never say When you have to quietly shout to the world Silenltly tell your story What would speak to you? What would talk to you? When the chrip of birds And the rumbling of a waterfall Would not speak to you When quiet would not do What would speak to you? What would talk for you? What would authentically tell the world your story Authentically Not hiding a single note of the rhythm of your heart What would tell the world your desire Your fears and terror What would speak to you? What would speak for you? An old melody That holds a memory A sound that holds a longing That knows the notes of your heart Would that speak for you? Would it speak to you?

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more

DARK

He sits alone in a silent corner of a dark room Trying to make sense of everything Everything is senseless at that moment Life seems to be worth everything Yet everything is worthless in his eyes He wonders why God had to make life in the first place and hopes it is not blasphemy No one wants to step on the toe of God more so those who hope heaven will offer a better home He is ashamed to admit that deep down he longs to be home Home is not this dark room filled with self doubt, anxiety and sorrow Home is where in the least he feels nothing Everyday he tells people to keep hoping but he  has lost all hope The only hope he has is that he will one day hope again Not hope to be rich or famous But to be happy for just a moment He hopes to slip over on his happiest day That is his dream He calculates how best to make his wish come But such days are to pracious to waste on fatal thinking He looks up to God Hoping not to offend Him and he prays for hope He prays that someone would listen ...
