Hidden Beneath

Hidden beneath 
the sacrifice 

Deep
in the abyss of darkness 
deceit  

Sits
a radiance of hope 
glimmering 
breathing 

No words spoke 
but
listen 

Listen.

When I Look Outside

When I look outside
My heart does beat
The pressure rise
A world there where all
That breathe must survive.

Beauty, radiance
Seen crystal clear
Waiting for
Another bloom
To appear.

Times can be tough
Rarely an easy ride
Still all enjoy
They do survive.

This I see
When I look outside.

Heaven Helped

Heaven helped, heaven loved
Nothing lost for that is love.

Holding close, holding tight
Living in it’s radiance tonight.
