Will God interrupt the voice which is false -
So we may arrive where "true stillness" resides?
In that stillness where the soul truly moves.
Wisdom carries itself in the splinters.
What then of a fallen tree?
Let us carve it into a wonderful shrine
and spread its seeds.

Travels of Love

I feel the love in me go out and go into you.
A test of compassion without the effort.
The flow of the divine empathy, near me
traveling through me.
It is not my love - but the Greater Love.
I must recongnize the grace in it
or it stops in me
and dissolves.
And so this is my call to action -
to continue its movement
these ripples
as the perpetual travels of love.

Unfinished Moment

Today I (nearly) died.
My demons would like to claim this victory here;
claiming I was merely a spoil of war.

But in reality the poison ran out;
the poison always runs out.
With the poison I ran out, and I ran and I ran…
And you always come down.
Just like that, I came down,
but six feet down is as far down I came come.

I forgot someone told me
that life is always “fresh”
if you look for the miracles.
I - only knew life was always “frozen”
If I passed them by.

So today I (nearly) died.
