...
Dredged

Time spent in one more abandon,
Familiar dredged up past of need.
An angry belly groans loud when empty.
Lost knowledge known to know, or heed.

Rebellion waged through tears and hurt
In my worn out hat and shoes.
So lonely without friendship.
Solitude this world alone makes destitute.

This life I've traded handed in.
I weep for sweetness gone in me.
My love story gone de-throwned
Alone to dwell on past not met to hone.

I'm finished living sorted sadness
Branded heart like none to know.
Life essence scored in wait and madness
Bored hole in the belt thinness will moan.

"We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away."

- Chuang Tzu
 

...
Goddess love
You need not fret
Thoughts rare precious
None but you inflect.

Sky light beams
From your essence roamed.
From your essence seen
Essence known.

In glee fulfilled
Life's union longed;
Summed from bright,
Deep depths unknown.

Where passions bits
Meld and mix
That warm glow,
The majesty your soul.

Love once known
Summoned forth to praise.
Calmed in care for another wave;
Carried weightless through.

Great doors of marble
With sky of blue
With faint cirrus,
Shared in joy.

Ecstasy called
True bliss.
I surrender slave to
Your wishes, my life.

Passions love
To kiss, to hold in
Times waged
with each.

The others
Life giving half.
Lives joy in delight
Always you.

That rumbling passage through Everest rages every inch shaking and violent movement in complete darkness. Resolute to the journey, accepting it's consequences, its totality.

"So the opposite of worry and fear is to seek God - not an anxious seeking but a joyful, trusting seeking, like a child playing hide-and-seek with a parent. Seek first God's kingdom. I love this promise from God: "Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you" (Jer. 29:12 - 14). God longs to be found, like a mother playing with her child. God deeply desires to listen to us, to be discovered by us. When we do discover him, discover that deep relationship of love, we will find that it satisfies us in a way that stuff never can. We will realize we have enough if we have God.

So how do we live a simple life? Seek first God's kingdom, seek to live according to his ways. In other words, walk humbly with God, and all your other priorities will fall into line. This is not a one-time deal. It's a constant journey. Keep seeking God. Seek his kingdom, his will, his love, every day. Seek and you will find. You'll not only find God; you'll find that you have more than enough. "

No Tomorrow

Everybody
Knows there's
No tomorrow.
There's just today
Lived out again.
Wandering
Through the
Fields,
Tall grass
This meadow yields.
Unrevealed till
Called upon
Once more
Tomorrow,
And tomorrow,

 

...
Come on again,
and be the one
everyone adores.
Show us brilliant
waves of love,
Passion, praise and more.
Let us hear gentle words
That build us strong,
and sure.
That soothing twinkle
you possess,
That helps the heart
feel cured.

Come-on now
stop the tears
That have built up
over years.
When that is done
You'll know that
you have won;
Rain-man and Tear-man
converged.
None then could claim
it's theirs;
Simple and always
there.



...calls us in;
quietly petting all hearts beating here.

"The test, I don’t deny it, proves to be very hard: you have to go uphill, “against the grain”.

— What is my advice? That you must say: omnia in bonum, everything that happens, “everything that happens to me”, is for my own good... Therefore do accept what seems so hard to you, as a sweet and pleasant reality."

- St. Josemaria Escriva

This is awesome!

I invite you to enjoy it. I pasted the lyrics below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO10pkOLERQ

"There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If i can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true

There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
All the doubt and fear
If i can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear

We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still i am sure that the answer gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while i can think, while i can talk
While i can stand, while i can walk
While i can dream, please let my dream
Come true, right now
Let it come true right now
Oh yeah"

Elvis and Celine Dion:

The
Ravine


The ravine

Does roar

At me.

In vile,

Blood,

And snot.

That birds

Wings,

Flickered

Breeze;

Then I raised

A gun for not.

The ravine

Had flown

To see.

The ravine

Does roar

At me

In vile

And blood,

And snot.
