The Great Wilderness

Standard

I reopened the gate

And went out into

The

Great

Wilderness.

There I returned to the

Life

I new

As a child

And became

The

Peace

I have always carried.

For the birds welcomed me.

The wind embraced me.

The trees received me with a timeless remembering.

The dirt infused my senses with vivification.

The sky opened up in my heart

And the sun became a friend to my soul again.

I recalled this is where I belong.

There,

In

The

Great

Wilderness,

I did live

Once

More.

Untrusting

Standard

After years

Of feeling

Battered and bruised,

Tired and used

She reentered the world.

Uneasy.

Hesitating with every breath.

Shaking with every step.

A little bit at a time.

Her eyes were so untrusting

For she knew what you see is very rarely,

If ever,

What you get.

Behind every smile

There might lie

A very darkened heart.

Self doubt filled her mind.

For she knew the sky was blue

But since she could remember,

She was told otherwise.

To the point where she did not believe

Her own eyes

Anymore.

Her gut in knots,

Never knowing when she might get caught in a moment of happiness

Just to have it stolen.

There she stood,

Head held high

Ready to give the world

Another try.

It Starts With One

Standard

It starts with one mind.

It starts with one heart.

To become love

And let go of anger.

And there the one shares with

Another.

Let go of judgements of strangers.

Then the two become the four

And exponentially

We let go.

Embrace anew

As love recognizes hate

No more.

Alter the tide.

What becomes reality for one

Becomes the reality

For

The Sum.

….

Let not your eyes deceive you

As you look in the mirror.

The blood that we shed

Is no other color

But red.
