Divided

Standard

Hate and spite or love and compassion;

One must choose or keep oneself divided in two;

Therefore dividing the world in which one abides

And all else.

Heal oneself or remain content with discontent within

For you are the creator and reactor.

Bring yourself wholly home to love;

Peace.

Interrupt

Standard

You will be interrupted

By many with a

Plethora of “but this and that”;

Continue to live, speak

And move

Immersed in compassion; stillness.

Gentleness welcomes.

Allow love to emanate from even the twinkle in your eyes and the smile upon your face.

These gestures one thinks so small save souls.

Hope. Love. Peace.

Open Your Door

Standard

Remember those feelings you have on a day you are struggling.

Perhaps standing still.

Perhaps crawling.

And know that others feel that way.

See them when you look around.

You will recognize them.

Instead of building walls

Against them,

Open

Your door

And step outside to meet them.

Step outside and greet them.

Offer compassion.

Offer love.

For we will never get better

If we do not

Lift each other up.

If we all choose to stay behind walls

And defenses

Alone,

We will never

Heal as people.

Alone.

Learning

Standard

I am slowly
Learning to have compassion for the girl

That believed she had no voice.

The girl that was afraid to shine
Or make a sound.
Who had been beaten down.

Who had almost disappeared from

Existence.

She will always be a part of me.
She was not weak.
After all
She carried me on her own.
On every twist and turn.
Up
Mountains and through valleys
Alone,
She carried me.
She pulled me up off my knees.
She dug me out of the shadows

And pushed me

Into the light.
Lifted my gaze up to life.
Through sun and storms.
Through my entire life.
She carried me.
Now it’s my turn to
Carry her.
To love her and I realize what I thought

Were her weaknesses,

Led to my strengths.
